Weekend fun!

I love weekends like the one we just had...fun, fun, fun! (Except for the part about not getting the house cleaned with the kid's help on Saturday) I paid for it today and spent 3 hours this morning working on laundry and such. Oh well, we did have a fun weekend with friends so it was worth it... so here is the low down.

Friday: I took the kids up to DJ's office where we did the kids favorite thing...spent 10 minutes watching all of his funny e:mail videos he gets sent from various people, then we went to grab a bite to eat at on campus, not fabulous food but the kids thought their hamburgers and tator tots were great so, whatever. After that we headed over to visit some of our best friends, the Flora's, we used to live right by them back in our Rexburg days. They have 6 kids with a set of twins on the end, just like us! We love them dearly and enjoyed every minute of our visit. I would move back to Rexburg in a heartbeat if we could live next door to one another. We then dropped the 3 older girls off at our niece (Jessica) apartment for a sleepover, something they've really been looking forward to. I'm hoping my niece took some pictures to document the fun they had. In a nutshell, (according the the girls) they watched 3 movies, ate lots of goodies, giggled, stayed up until midnight, slept a little, did tricks on Jessica's bed, ate a yummy breakfast, and then dad picked them up at around 9:00 a.m! Thanks Jess for the great time!

Saturday: More craziness, DJ took the kids to the church along with a couple of Reg's basketball teammates and practiced b-ball for awhile only to later get slaughtered (in all senses of the word) at their basketball game later in the afternoon. The score: 56 to 2, yes, you read that right....so....so...so sad, it's not that they are bad, they just struggle, and as Regan put it, "we just stink!" I don't agree, they've actually played really well at their last game and Regan has improved so much in the past couple of years! I really enjoy watching her but felt so bad for them on Saturday. The team is made up of a few girls who have played b-ball for a few years and then several girls who have never played so naturally they would struggle but after all, it's just a game, (remember that, Regan)

Anyway, on with Saturday, between going to the church and the afternoon basketball game, we managed to squeeze in a fun sledding trip with our good friends, the Andrus's. They invited us over to snowmobile and sled at the gravel pit behind their house. DJ stayed back at their house to watch the babies so I could go and have some fun. it took a few minutes for Jordy and kaleb to warm up to the idea of the sled but in no time they were having a ball. They couldn't get enough of the snowmobile....Morgan is my little dare devil so she and her friend Alissa had a ball as always. Regan her friend Lindy had a ball trying out new ways to go down a small sled together.

Oh, I almost forgot, in between basketball at the church and the b-ball game I made a trip to the doctor with for twins. I thought they both must have ear infections because of their constant runny noses, bad sleeping habits, etc. but it turns out, they just have some virus and they are just must be bad sleepers. Bummer, I would've loved for an explanation to that little problem. But, I am glad they aren't battling the ear infection.

After that, came the sad basketball game and then later my nephew Jared and his wife Rachel called to see if they could bring a movie to watch with the kids. They showed up with popcorn and treats and a movie so we had a ball hanging out with them. Yes, way too many late nights in a row for the kids so we paid for it both Saturday and Sunday with very cranky, over emotional children but we're pretty well rested today.

Church was great yesterday. I always enjoy fast and testimony meeting and the opportunity to fast. I love our ward and appreciate all the good people that we get to associate with. Once again, DJ was home in good time so we took the kids and made a few visits to people in the ward. I'm loving this new church schedule which allows for a few extra minutes with my hubby!
