Family, friends & birthdays!

We had a great weekend that was non stop and filled with family and friends, but it was alot of fun! Friday was my half day- I used to spend my half days shopping at Loft, grabbing lunch with friends or doing some sort of project but now I spend it at the grocery store. Kinda sad but its the only time I have to myself to get that kind of stuff done. So I am extremely thankful for my half days! I came home and cleaned a little then we went to a friends house to see some friends we had not seen in a while. It was a great time. There were 9 kids and 9 adults- it sure was a houseful! But I love that stuff. I absolutely love getting the kids together with friends and their kids. There is nothing better than shouting over screaming kids just to talk to the person next to you :)

Almost all of the kids- baby chandler was sleeping. Even Owen sat with the big kids!

Saturday we had soccer- Hannah and Emma are getting better at each practice- although at some point they both looked like dancing fairies. It was too funny! After soccer we headed to breakfast with the Flynns- of course after having breakfast with Hannah you are pretty much exhausted! Ha ha! Its definitely alot of work. We noticed that our conversations have definitely changed- we find ourselves saying things we didnt think we would say- get your feet off the table, dont pick your nose- you get the picture :)
After breakfast we put Hannah down for a nap and decided we would head up to Owensboro Saturday night instead of Sunday for Jeremy's bday. It is ALOT of work traveling with two kids for one night. And hard work! We also were able to see Jeremys old high school friend Matt and his family. They have 3 kids under 3- talk about hard work! They just had a sweet little boy who is 5 weeks old. Im so glad we were finally able to meet their new babies!

Happy birthday Daddy!

Jeremy's bday card- Pinterest inspired of course!!

Her new favorite thing is to have Owen lay in her bed with her in the mornings- along with her 17 books, 4 blankets, and 3 babies :)

Owen hasnt been sleeping very well...well, he has been sleeping but he has been waking to eat ever 3 or so hours. Feels like we are back to the newborn days! And Saturday night was really bad. I think he woke every 2 hours and we didnt get to sleep until almost midnight which is WAY past my bedtime :) So Sunday I was so exhausted I was almost at the point of feeling sick. Im not sure Ill ever catch up on sleep! We celebrated Jeremys bday- he is 32!! We were counting last night and we have celebrated 10 birthdays together. Im so thankful for the husband and dad that he is for us.
Owensboro is only 2 hours away but its amazing how long that can seem when Hannah is crying for almost 40 minutes. I thought we had both kids asleep and I was ready to close my eyes then Owen woke and then Hannah woke and it was all over! I think she was way too tired and the fact that we couldnt get service on my phone for her to watch her songs- wheels on the bus, twinkle twinkle, etc. I mean seriously- how on earth do you explain "no service" to a 2 year old!!
We finally got home and crashed!! I wish I had today off to recover but its back to reality...it will be a big coffee morning!!
