Grandma and Grandpa Smith came to visit!

 What my kids love more than anything is to have visitors and to visit other people! We pretty much do everything as a family and all my kids are so little, I don't always have a lot of play dates over, partially because I can't keep my house clean and by the time it is, it's not a good time for other kids to come over and well I am embarrassed for the parents to see my house when they come over and really, I just picture in my head the kids going home saying, "Their house was a mess!" So, one day when my kids are in school and I have a moment to breathe, It will be a little easier to at least pick up breakfast after breakfast and not after lunch and sometimes dinner!!! I know don't judge!

My kids were in Heaven when Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Ben stopped by!

 They only sw them for a short time and needed some more Grandma and Grandpa time, so we invited them to come along with us for a day at the Gardens, my kids loved having them there!!

Girls Weekend/Steph's 30th B-day!!

This was definitely a well needed weekend!! I have not spent a night away from my kids wince we brought our now 5 year olds home, so I was a little nervous, silly i know, I was only about 25 minutes away, but I had a little anxiety!! However, once I left and I was out, I was fine and had so much fun!!! We stayed the night in a hotel and then went up to park city and did all the fun rides up there, my favorite was the zip line! I love these ladies and I am so glad I got a chance to spend so much time with them to celebrate Steph's 30th birthday!

A little coke to liven our late night =)
