My birthday Part I

My birthday was extended to just one day this year. I like to consider it a birthday week, and this one did not disappoint. On the 6th, 2 of my dearest friends came into town--Emily Scharman who now lives in Connecticut and Natalie Ellis who is in Dallas.
I took some pics of Em's girls and this is me editing them (she took it).

I got the Round Rock Texas Sized donuts.

I gave her girls a little welcome gift.  It was a toilet dipstick--the sucker was a plunger.

Em told her girls that I was on the drill team in high school and they begged to see/learn some moves.  My kids were also impressed as thats something that I haven't talked about too much with them, let alone shown them.  You can see my boys heads on the floor as they watch.

Reading girls books with lots of girly girls.

It rained--they jumped

Alyssa and Mia are just 2 months apart and they enjoyed playing polly's in the bathroom sink.

Abby and Matthew are a few months apart...

Haley and Tyler are also just a few months apart.  We tried this "slumber party" setup, but they were too rowdy and we had to split them up.

Nat came late on Tuesday night, but we got pics of her cute baby the next day.
