Busy Weeks

I am so sorry for taking a bloggy break! I have been busy, busy!

After going to NC a few weeks ago to get my stuff and pick up my brothers things, we brought back my sister-in-law, her daughter, and my nephew. We spent much of our week swim swim swiming as Vianne would say.

And then this last week my brother brought home my niece and him and his wife went to Tampa for the week so he could start looking for a house and getting things situated with his new job at the base. Apparently he got there and they had messed up his orders, so now he is here for a week and then back to nc to work until a few weeks into September.

Anyways, I had a 2 year old, a 9 year old, and an 11 year old to watch all last week. We had a good time swimming and going to the park and they enjoyed picking out meals to eat that they liked :)

Here's a rundown of last weeks meals (that the kiddos chose):

Monday: Thai Chicken
Tuesday: Pineapple glazed ham
Wednesday: Homemade Mcgriddles
Thursday: Homeade Pizza
Friday: out
Saturday:Birthday Party
Sunday: ribs/birthday party

Sorry I don't have any pics of any of those :(

We took the kids to fun park to pla golf and ride go karts on Friday before going shopping and they enjoyed it.

Then Saturday we did our usual morning breakfast and fla market fun with m grandparents. After lunch we headed to my cousin's little boys birthday party. All of the kids enjoyed it and it was everybodies first time meeting my new niece, Vianne, and they all loved her. She fit right in with all of the kids and had a reall good time. It was a water/diego party and all the kids had fun in all 4 of the pools and with the slipping slide. Some of the parents got out there with the kids torwards the end of the party and gave everybody a good show. Everybody was chasing everybody with water balloons and cups/buckets of water and the water hose was even gotten out. The kids had a fun time soaking the adults.
Then we went to my mom's favorite place out of town back where her parents live, Whataburger. My grandparents met back up with us and we all enjoyed our yummy food that was most definately not good for me..lol

Then Sunday we went to church. I was happy to have my sister and my nieces and nephew in church with me. I knew there was a song I wanted my sister to hear and I had to ask my grandma to request it. She did and it most definately touched everybody like I wanted it to. I love the way our church band sings "aint no grave gonna hold my body down" and I knew it had to be sung. It was an amazing church service.
Then we went home to have lunch and cake with my whole family to celebrate my Grandaddy's 76th birthday which is today! He had a wonderful birthday with everybody there! I love my grandaddy and hope to have many more years with him :)

We came home and cooked ribs and had a big dora birthday cake for Vianne's birthday! she turns 3 in a few weeks but would have a hard time celebrating it any other time because of all the moving and traveling and they wanted the kids there. She had a good time and has been enjoying all of her new toys :)

My sister and her boy and girl left for Nc this morning, but my brother and his wife and Vianne will be here this week. It is going to be another busy week. I start classes back on Wednesday and the baby shower is on Sunday.

I really need a recipe for a blue punch. Any suggestions?
