Birthday Parties, Sleep-overs, football, and a baptism!

What a busy weekend!  Friday night Cole celebrated his "Friend Birthday" by having 4 classmates over for car races and a sleep-over!  Let's just say there was lots of giggling, running, and eating...but we survived!  It was fun to see the excitement in their eyes when the cars were racing and of course wrecking!  Cole had a blast and they were so tired from the car races that they didn't keep Brian and I up all night!  My Grandma stayed home with Emily and Jackson slept over at his cousin Brecken's!  Exciting night all the way around!  Emily loves Grandma B. and looked forward to her coming all week!

The next morning i made 21 pancakes and 20 sausages...which they devoured, and then we took all the boys home!  After a quick clean-up and trip to Brian's mom's for lunch, my brother and sister-in-law and my niece and nephew came over for the first Husker game of the season!  We won of course...and the jalapeno poppers and puppy chow topped it off!  Thanks Karlette!

Sunday, we celebrated the baptism of our nephew Tyler and then Cole was off to another birthday party/sleep-over!  Brian felt bad that Jackson and Emily were left out so we took them to eat Taco's and shop at Toys R Us!  What an awesome daddy!  Today, was beautiful so we biked to the park and came home for lunch with Daddy!  This is such a treat...the kids get so excited when we can all eat lunch and supper together!  My parents just got back from Branson, MO, so they came for supper tonight...and brought the kids some souvenirs!

I love weekends like this but hate to see them end!  Looking forward to next weekend...Cole's official 8th birthday!  Where has the time gone?  I can't be old enough to have an 8 year old, can I?!?!?!?!
