Fun Busy Weekend

We had a really fun busy weekend. It started Thursday with Mike coming to stay with us. My friend Lyndee had a baby so Jamie and I went to go and see little Ava and Cam and Mike held the fort down. When I got back Alina had bandages all over her face. Our cat Taboo had been spooked by Mike's dog Buddy and scratched Alina. Cameron had to leave for a job interview so when I got back Mike really thought I should take Alina to the instacare and I agreed. Luckily we were the only ones there and we were in and out really quick. She didn't have to have stitches (thank goodness) but they were worried about infection so she had to be put on some antibiotics. She was so brave. The nurse there just thought she was so cute and so good that she gave her 2 suckers. On the way home Alina said, "I'm the luckiest girl ever because I got two suckers!"

We rushed home so we could go to dinner and see Mike's mom Halley and Cameron's cousin Amy and her family. We had a nice spaghetti dinner and got reacquainted since it was only the second time we had seen everyone. Our kids and Amy and Steve's kids got a long great, they had so much fun playing. Amy made some cheesecake (my favorite) for dessert and the adults just visited.

Friday we were going to let Austin stay home from school, but he wanted to go for half the day so he could take his spelling test. Greta missed all of school and was very happy about it, she begs to stay home everyday. Mike wanted to take the kids to the zoo but it started snowing so we went to Cabela's instead. We had a great time shooting targets and looking at all the animals. Mike even bought them french fries and ice cream.




Mike got all the kids hats and Olivia loved to wear it. She was so cute with it. Then again she's always cute!

We buried Olivia in a bin of stuffed animals. She loved it until she started sinking.

We headed back and had Amy and her family and Paula over for dinner. Cam and I laughed so hard all night. Amy, Mike, Steve, and Paula are so funny to watch. They tease each other like crazy and Paula is hilarious. We had a great time with them. We had a marshmallow roast and then 3 of Amy's kids stayed the night.

Alina, Whitley, Cyndal, Zaley, Austin, Greta, and Renic.

Saturday we played football and then Mike had to leave. That night we went to our ward party at the Legacy Center and went swimming and Amy and Steve came with us.

Oliva loved Mike's dog Buddy. He was the best behaved dog I've ever seen. He's huge but quiet!

Cameron only made Austin cry during football about 5 times. Thing are definitely improving.
