Our weekend

And a little Thursday thrown in too.

Thursday night we headed into town to run some errands and eat with Lolli since Jay had a meeting. Ax joined us and they were all so sweet holding hands here I couldn't resist...

After some errands we met Lolli at Chick-fil-a to eat.  She had a friend's foster baby and Lucy was CRA-ZY over him.  Seriously she wanted to hold him all night...all 6 lbs. (only 3 weeks old) of him!

Friday was a hard day for our family.  We had some major decisions to make and Friday was our deadline. Decision was made...bittersweet...mixed emotions.  Maybe someday when it is not so fresh we will share with the cyber world.  If you know us personally, feel free to ask we will share.

Anyway, due to the high stress of the day, we decided to veg out and go eat pizza Friday night.  We were drained and pizza sounded like a good choice.  Afterwards, we came home and worked on a robot project Karis had to do for school. I helped, she designed.  Meet Daisy...

Thankful God's mercies are new every day and Saturday was a new day.  Jay's sister Jessica and her boyfriend Ben came over Saturday morning to hang out for the day and they brought Valentine goodies for the kids.  Needless to say, they were excited and high on sugar for the remainder of the day.

Here they were watching a video Jay has laughed hysterically over for the past few days.  Laughter has been good for the soul!

Last weekend we had some storms come through and not much damage that we knew until we saw this this week about 2 miles from our house.   Yep, that is a trampoline IN a tree.  YIKES!

After Ben and Jessi left, we had some friends, Chris and Tabitha, over for dinner who also have 3 kids.  We had a ball and so did the kids!  We are very thankful for friends!

Sunday after church Brayden had a birthday party at Bounz and Karis and Lucy got to stay too.  They were all in kid heaven and had a ball!

It was Caden's 5th birthday and he and Brayden have played on the same baseball team for the past 2 years.  Brayden was SOOO excited to get invited to his birthday party.  Happy Birthday Caden!!!

Sunday night we did a little chillin' and recooping for the busy week ahead!
