Best Weekend!

OMG! What a weekend!

Friday: Nick took a Freightliner truck to E's school for her birthday. They kids were able to crawl around, touch the tires, and beep the horn. It is transportation month, the letter "W" for work, and Elayna Nicole's 5th birthday! The kids loved it, and Nick was able to create a memory with his daughter that neither will ever forget!
Then, we picked up the kids early from preschool/pre-K because... We finally were matched with two dogs from Rescue a Golden! We were able to visit the adorable Scooby and Dakota at the foster Dad's house. These two have lived together the past 5 years, and we were not about to separate them. So two it is! We fell in love!
Next it was onto E's family party at Chuck E. Cheese. We played games, ate their delicious pizza, opened presents, ate some cake, and enjoyed time with my parents.

Saturday: We rushed around in the morning to pick up the cupcakes (made into the number 5) and some last minute times. Then it was time for E's party with her school friends at PUMP IT UP! It was a fun, FUN party. Nick and I are big kids at heart. We raced in the obstacle course and bounced, and bounced, and bounced! Such a good time (and good exercise!). Next we came home and napped - then "the boys" (Dakota and Scooby) came to see if they liked our home. They pretty much loved it. :) We took the boys to Pet Smart to pick up some items and schedule their spa day for Sunday. We played into the night with them, loved on them, and welcomed them into their forever family.

Sunday: Laundry catch up! I hate laundry, but someone's got to do it! Nick installed a new baby gate (with a special opening for Ben, our cat) to keep Scoob and 'Kota out of the kitty area. Nick also put up our new shoe racks from my parents (our cat eats shoe laces, so all laced shoes are in the garage). Next we took the boys for their spa day. Then traveled onto Wal-mart for groceries. Came home and napped a little, then Nick picked up our sparkling clean goldens. My best friend from work, Candice, came over for a homemade dinner by Nick (home made mac and cheese and Mexican corn chowder soup). He is really an amazing cook. De-lish! Candice is an obedience and agility trainer, and she taught us some basic commands. The boys did amazingly well, and are very trainable. We look forward to a play date with her border collie, Stirling, in the near future! After clean up from dinner, E and I wrote thank you's to her classmates.

The family is all asleep (goldens included, of course), and I am next... BEST WEEKEND! Love my sweet family and friends.
