The Fourth of July
























We had a great 4th of July weekend. Friday night swim party with our friends and a Saturday night hooks game with the Bright family. 10 months ago I never would have dreamed that we would have parties to go to and friends to hang out with. It is really great! Here are some pics of our 4th weekend.

Adiah and Ava"s first sleepovers
















Adiah was so excited when her friend Cami called and asked if she could spend the night with Adiah and Ava could spend the night with her brother Karston. Adiah could barely go to sleep after she got off the phone. She yelled for me to go get her Hannah Montana party planner so we could start planning for this amazing sleepover that she was going to have the next night. I assured her that we would make plans the next day but she could not go to sleep until I went over the book with her and we agreed to have an ice cream sundae bar and plan more the next day. I tried to explain that this was not necessary and it was not a party but she wouldn't have it any other way.
Ava was also very excited but it did not keep her from sleeping that night. Ava loves Karston but insists, "He is just my friend." So, we made the switch about 4:30 and Ava went to Karston's and had a Chinese lantern party. Unfortunately, Karston, Hunter and Kayden fell asleep before Ava and she got a little homesick. "That fish tank made scary noises." So about 12am my precious baby Ava returned home. She was very embarrassed but so happy to be home. She had a great time but did not like it when the lights went off and her friends fell asleep. The next morning she woke me up and said, "Can I tell you more about Karston's house?"
Adiah ended up being very happy with the way her sleepover turned out. They made their own pizzas and sundaes. We went down to the bay to explore and watched movies, played with the gerbils and built a huge tent. What's with the tent building? It's so strange to me how exciting Adiah and Ava get when they build a tent. It's all about the building though. Once it's built they pretty much move on. Hopefully from now on Adiah will be happy without the party planning and just the spontaneity of having a friend over.

Will I Ever Get Organized?

Once again I am behind on my blogging. I am behind on everything really. This seems to be the theme of my existence lately. One step out of my routine and everything just gets completely disorganized. We have been having so much fun doing "fun" things that things like sweeping the floors and dusting have just been pushed to the side. Somehow I have got to figure out how to do it all.

Today I decided to hang picture frames upstairs that I bought probably two months ago and have been sitting in sacks until today. They don't have pictures in them but at least they are hanging. That's one thing I can check off my list. Unfortunately I still have the floors and the sheets and the bathrooms. Oh well, I always have tomorrow. :0)
