Precious moments with Friends



Our Freinds from Connecticut visited last week. We all had a blast jumping on the trampoline, playing outside, visiting with other friends, and watching our 6 children transform every inch of my house into a play zone. It was quite commical. At one point the kids were trying to move our bed with heavy duty rope and "tools" and the next moment they were space rangers on a mission to put out fires in our basement. There was never a dull moment. They tired themselves out every day, even Garrett was taking naps without whining.

The best part was when Duke decided to pee on Gretchens Mary poppins bag(seriously this bag has no bottom to it, she can and does fit everything in it). Fortunately it was a diaper bag that cleaned up easily.

If only I would have taken pictures of the mess we all made. I am so glad God blessed Gretchen and I with the ability to relax and not clean for a week in order to enjoy a week of fun together. We stayed up way to late and got up was to EARLY, watched movies, ate a lot of junk food, and danced a little latin hip hop.

I wouldn't change a single day. It was great having them at our house.

I just had to add this photo to show how truly adorable these dogs were as puppies.

OHHH THEY ARE SUCH CUTE PUPPIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But did I mention they are now ten times bigger and poop what feels like five hundred times more. - or should I say five hundred lbs more. Seriously - these dogs have an amazing digestive system. I should really be dreaming about poop. Not only am wiping two kids butts, listening to talk about poop from my four and 2 year old ( you poopy head- you tuti fruity poopy butt), I am also picking up gallons of poop this week from these cute adorable beings. I knew I was in for a long spring when I was done picking up my third FIVE gallon bucket. ( This is no exageration, I think I will take a picture next time).

Despite their cow size dung and shedding, I have grown to love these adorable pups. ( In case you were wondering how we managed to get two LARGE dogs- well I am pretty sure Mike drugged me, I am still awaiting the toxicology results- I will keep everyone posted)

Garrett enjoyed his first sleepover with friends this month. He had four freinds over for some sledding down the driveway, real snow cones, lots of junk food and a movie. He was the first one to fall asleep and the first one to get sick the next day. It was really fun. Fortunately for me, our cousin Mandy and her beau Taylor came over to help with crowd control. Not sure I would have managed with six boys in the house.
