**Pictures taken by my SIL and MIL on days they were watching my kids and they both sent them to me at work....made my day!!  Are these not Hilarious!!!!!!

It's birthday week!!

I LOVE birthdays..and I LOVE me a birthday week!!  I celebrate all week long and I do the same for my kids.  Birthdays are a big deal and I love making my kids feel EXTRA special all week long.  AGHHH, I LOVE BIRTHDAY WEEKS! 

A week all about you, um ya, sign me up!!!

 To start off birthday week we headed to Six Flags with one of Charlie's favorite friends!  Charlie and Cassidee had a blast together:)

In every picture I took Cassidee posed like a sweet little girl should..and Charlie made silly faces...like a sweet little boy should!  See below picture....

This is my favorite picture by far...love their sweet faces:)

Love it!

Riding the parachute's alone..without any adults....because one adult may have been to scared.  I wont say who, but it wasn't me and Kendra was the only other adult..just saying!

Still dry and in line for the Roaring Rapids..

Completely soaked afterwards.  I had dry places on me, but Charlie was completely soaked from head to toe and he loved it!

He got $5 to play games...and now we are the proud owner of a Charlie sized Marvin the Martian.  I was secretly hoping he wouldn't win so we wouldn't have to carry the thing around:)  Good mom, right!  Luckily it was only about an hour till closing. 

Oh, we have also renamed him "Helicopty"...special kid!:)

And lucky for us, Helicopty got to ride on the rides with us......

Spinning in the tea cups...holy cow, I am to old to spin like that!

LOVE.THIS.KID!!

Best $5 ever..yes, way better then the $5 spent on Helicopty.  The batman cape!  Superhero dress up is huge with Charlie right now.  Still looking for Wolverine costume for Charlie..complete with claws...because those claws wont cause any problems between the two boys in my house..... 

Whats better then ice cream at 10pm....

Wearing it on your face!!

Boat house!

We had a great 4 day weekend at Lake Eufala(?) in Oklahoma this past weekend with my family..it was such a nice relaxing weekend!! Who doesn't love that!

there was lots of time in the water...which was actually beautiful despite this picture

there was fun cousin time..and tad pole catching time..

there was adventures for the big kids as well as the little ones

there was hot husbands....who will kill me for this picture:)

there was plenty of available boat drivers

even half dressed boat drivers:)

there were babysitters everywhere

who came in so handy:)

there were sweet daddy-son moments

beautiful nieces

happy babies

there were goggles everywhere..which meant plenty of entertainment for the kids and adults

there were fishing fools

there were brave 5 yr olds

there were sweet sibling moments

there were lots of excited kids when ANY fish was caught

there were teachable moments

there were upset kiddos when "their" fish was let go..and not able to be "kept in a cup"

there were kayak rides for everyone

there were happy boys because they played outside from 8am-8pm

there were fun uncles who let all the kids invade his bed

there were adorable 2 yr olds who speak with such a Texas twang that they can say about anything and it sounds ADORABLE!!

there were fun Daddies who taught the older kids to break the rules and jump off the top deck:)

sweet mamas and sweet daughters

there were rule breakers

and sand eaters

there were little boys who cried EVERY time their mama left them:(

(just returned from the DR...ear infection may explain the clingy-ness)

fun times in the water

sweet daddy and daughter time

there were weirdo kids who would sit in a corner putting string in their ears..which now makes more sense after the Dr today:)

there were cramp sleeping quarters which led to the pack and play being set up on our bed during the day time

there were the worlds greatest Granddaddy who we are so lucky to have..who make trips like these so much fun

and there was the worlds greatest Moms who we are so lucky to have..who blessed us with an awesom trip

I am so blessed to have the family that I do and I am blessed that we all like each other and like to vacation together!!  Now, if those Alaska peeps would come on back we could totally rock a real family trip..party of 19 anyone!!!!Yikes:)
