twas a fun night a couple weekends ago that we got to go to our "once upon a time often frequented" Macaroni Grill with some great buddies to celebrate Josh and Jaren's big three-oh birthdays!!!
don't tell that i ate 3 loaves of the succulent bread-not-even-dipped-in-oil&vinegar alone...yes, alone- that's the problem we have of always being on time...and our friends..... not being on time. No biggie that we sat at a table set for like 20 for 20 minutes alone....not embarrassing at all. Don't mind me, i'll just be stuffing my face while we wait for the rest of you!!!!!

and p.s. I don't know why my mister can not for the life of him smile like a jolly old soul in any picture.....
after din din, we headed over to Josh & Ange's for some games. Good times my friends, good times. We ended up playing Catch Phrase- men vs women- and oh bother, even though we set ground rules before the game started, SOME people ended up still cheating....whatever
Brent did love the scalp massager he found on the floor- did it cut into his scalp at every turn? Maybe.....that would 'splain the painface

Here i am trying to throw Josh off....it's something we do to irritate eachother ok? but he does look like he was really focused, so i'm not sure i did my job this round or not. and believe you me, if I stand while I play Catch Phrase, I'm a way better player.

post game- maybe we lost, maybe we won- who really keeps score? DID YOU PUSH THE 1????
us girls busted out a lil "SINGLE LADIES" moves on the crew
(don't mind Brent in the back ground)
our rockin team!!!!
Last week ruled because Brent and his mini-me-girly-twin both got super sick. We finally took Sawyer to the dr. and he decided she probably had the swine. He didn't make us get her tested-which was nice- cuz why pay for a test if there's a chance it may come back negative when he's 95% sure it's swine anywho? Bless you after hours dr, bless you!
She was quite miserable, so we got her the medicine and she started feeling better straight away. Poor Brent though, he's a man, so he had to tough it out with cough drops, nyquil and vitamin c. He's fine.
but seriously- look at those sicky twin faces!

and sicky twin sleeping positions
Brent and Jason gave her a blessing the night we got her meds and when I got back from the pharmacy, I asked her if she got a blessing and in her sweetest/gruffest litl voice she said, "Ya, I got blessing on ME head" I love her.
Max tried his origami skills and ended up creating this Krispy Kreme creation of greatness
Saturday night we trekked it down south to hang at Summer's parents house--- they have thee best yard ever. And so sweet of them to let us crazies take it over for a night! It was a darn tootin' weenie roast!!!

oh well, don't mind if I do.

Soy's got a love hate relationship with the tramp. She thinks she wants to jump, but if any other child comes within a foot, she's a screaming mess, scared out of her bloody mind, on the verge of jumping between those little wire twisted parts to get off....but leave her alone and she loves to jump "meself". and you should see the air she gets---wowza!
