Wow, I have a lot of catching up to do…and I have to try to remember everything that has happened…

Ok, first we had a visit from Papa John and Grandma Jan. I am just now realizing that we don’t have any pictures of their visit! How did this happen? I really have no idea, but we do have proof they were here. The yard looks amazing…now I just have to try to keep up with some things. Also, Matt built a sandbox while they were here, and Papa John filled it up with sand! This is a new favorite spot of Raven’s!

Then we had a relaxing Mother’s day weekend…Matt sent me to the spa (my favorite place)…and I got a new toy, a fancy phone which sucks up quite a bit of my time. Not with calls, with the internet and picture/video taking!

Next we had a great visit from Uncle J and Auntie Trish!

We really didn’t do anything too out of the ordinary here…I made J come with me to costco, we went to the zoo, and out to eat, scrabble (where Trish and I got creamed by J), and went down to the beach we love…

Great times with Uncle J

Overall, it was a great visit, and we all agreed this needs to happen more regularly. Love you!

Now we are getting ready for a special girl’s birthday party! She has requested a purple party…we are looking forward to a purple bean bag toss, a purple tutu, purple balloons, and cupcakes with blueberry frosting! I’ll try to get picks up soon :)
