Happy Birthday Chason

Today was crazy busy but so much fun.  The heat was soaring at 104 and I wished that I was outside by a pool, but I still have a few weeks to get there.  Maybe this week we can go visit friends and take a break, but this weekend we are working.
We spent the morning running errands and checking on the house.  We have a bloom on our rose bush!  I am so excited and like I have said I am just ready to go home.  I am hoping that they will correct the landscaping issues.  We shall see.  Right now I am pretty put out, but if they get it all done I will be extactic.  Nothing had really been done, but we are hoping to see some finishing progress this week.

We worked at the house for a while.  I did Danny's 3K scrapbook.  Yep, I am a little behind.  I am getting there though.  It has been hot upstairs so working downstairs has been nice.  Especially since we had places to be this afternoon.

We headed to Pump it Up for Chason's birthday!  Chason is an awesome kid and John Michael's very best buddy.  He has an awesome family and I am so glad that we met each other this year.  Who knew that Batman could seriously bring two families together.  It was a great party and we had a blast. Thank you so much for inviting us.

Before heading home from the party we went to pick up some boxes!  Thank you so much Lindsay and Josh, they are great! 

Well, we have so much to do but I feel like today was pretty good!  I hope that everyone has found ways to stay cool!  I have to be honest.  I prefer this heat to the cold anyday!!!

Mario, Batman and Auburn

Mario, Batman, and Auburn...what do these three have in common? Well it is the theme for John Michael's 5th Birthday party. He just could not make up his mind so he decided he wanted them all. We had his party at Pump It Up in Trussville and while I have been to a lot of parties there this is the first time that I had one and I have to tell you, it was wonderful. I will definitely be having other parties there. The kids all had a great time, even the parents had a blast! Thank you all so much for coming and celebrating John Michael turning 5....he is so proud to be one whole hand now!

We left the party and he wanted to go to Game Stop, he got money for games and could not wait to spend it.

Well, I have to say a weekend full of birthday parties has worn me out. If the boys would go to sleep, they are in bed, but still going. As soon as they go on to sleep I am right behind them. It has been a great weekend. Friends, family and fun! I have to admit I am looking forward to a week with some down time and I think this is it....so maybe a scrapbooking night should be planned! An email we be going out soon ;)

Before I go to bed, I will remember everyone in my thoughts and prayers. This weekend has been exhausting but fun and I can seriously feel the stress leaving my neck and shoulders. At least it was all good stress! We all experience some form of stress, but how we deal with it is so important. I have tried to convert it into creativity or productiveness, and I have to say it works. Whatever stressors that you have in your life you should enjoy them or get rid of them!
