The Weekend What

This has been a whirl wind of a weekend!  Oh boy has it ever been fun and busy!!!  As I've mentioned before, Evan is a super sports fan.  Last week, he asked Papa Gene to take him to our local high school's football game.  Papa was preparing to go to Orlando for work that weekend, so he told him they could go to this week's game.  Friday, Papa called me and told me that he was on his way to get tickets to The Backyard Bowl.  There are two local high schools that have such a big rivalry, that they have to play their game at The University of Tulsa just for seating.  This game is so big, there has even been a movie made about it and it's always televised.  To make the night even more awesome, Jason was off work!  So, my 3 favorite guys were off to have a lot of fun and freeze at the game.  I made Jason promise to take a few pictures. =)

Saturday was a big, busy day!  We started our day off at our second home, the soccer fields.  It was another loss for our team. Boo!  Evan played goalie for the entire game and was never subbed, so he was happy.  He's so funny to watch!  He's just so animated!  I was also really proud of my nephew Stephen once again.  He is doing so good!

After the game, the boys parted ways with us girls.  We had a princess party to get to quickly.  Karsyn was invited to her first party of the school year.  (The mommy of the birthday girl invited our whole family to come as well, but just us girls went.  We love our girl time!) My word! This party was fun!  The girls got to blow bubbles and bounce, in between eating pizza and every single princess snack you can imagine.  Seriously, there were two tables of princess themed snacks alone!  My girls eyes got so big as they saw all the goodies.  They also got to decorate princess crowns.  They loved that too!

We knew so many people at the party. Karsyn loved playing with my hairdresser's son.  I loved getting to meet him.  I've heard so much about him!

That wasn't our last party.  If you can believe it, we had two more left to attend.  Evan was invited to his friend Levi's party.  Payton, Evan, and I headed that way after we dropped the girls off to daddy for a nap.  His party was at the park.  Levi is a very sweet boy and I'm glad that I got to meet him.

Then, it was time for party numbero tres!  The whole family headed to our best friend family's house to celebrate Levi's birthday.  Yep, two Levi's had their party in one day. =)  It was such a beautiful day that we spent a little while playing outside.  All of the big boys played a game of basketball, while all the rest of us had fun in the backyard.

After we played for a while, we ate pizza, opened presents, and had cake.  And yes, Kim made the Ninja Turtle cake and it was yummy!

The rest of the night, we played cards, the kids played the Wii, they watched movies, and played really well together.  As always, we had way too much fun and stayed later than we should have.  It led us to sleeping a little too late to go to church this morning.  So, we had a lazy Sunday morning.  Then, Evan, Payton, and I went shopping for jeans.  Daddy and Evan did some lawn work that was well over due this afternoon.  After dinner, we met up with Aunt Kary, Emily, and Stephen to practice soccer at the track.  As of right now, all 4 kiddos plan to play soccer in the spring.

 When we got home, it was time for our evening routine of baths, packing lunches, reading, practicing sight words and of course a little trumpet practice.  Jason is teaching Payton how to play too.  Oh boy, one day all this practice is going to pay off....right?

It was such a busy and fun weekend!  I am glad that the kiddos have a short school week this week.  I'm looking forward to a 3 day weekend.
