Avengers Assemble!

Warning, I am beyond exhausted and anything typed in this post should not be held against me! Rambling, saying the same thing ten times, and just complete craziness is very likely to occur! 

But we have had a fun few days. Friday was crazy and getting ready for Jameson's birthday party, but thankfully Mom and Dad took Jameson out to eat and shopping to pick out his present so it was much easier weeding out my flower beds and trying to get our house and yard acceptable for company with just one child, and Saturday was the actual party. The kids had so much fun playing outside and getting people with the water balloons and of course eating Avengers Birthday Cake!!! I was already tired before the party started, so then I was really tired when it was over. We got it cleaned up and got ready for church and then went to Michael and "That Girl's... a.k.a. Andrea's" house. We were there until like 11, so again.. exhaustion!!!

Jameson in his Captain America undies! He had to match his party down to his underwear! :)

 

On Sunday after church we picked up Susan in Grant and headed to Huntsville to take Jameson to Toys R Us to pick out his bday present! He had a blast... of course! He ended up getting 4 Ultimate Ben 10 Aliens because the 12 that Mom and Dad had gotten him on Friday night obviously were not enough! He wanted Olive Garden for his birthday dinner out, and we weren't upset with that at all.. yum! My child has such good taste! ;) We then went to CVS trying to get wisp toothbrushes, mouthwash, gum, and Listerine strips to get the Olive Garden stank off of us.. I'm sure none of it worked, and then headed to Plevna for Church. Matt was starting revival out there. It was the first time I had ever been, but I really enjoyed it. Turns out I'm related to the entire church.. no surprise there.. hello.. Holman's!, but  church was good and one received the Holy Ghost. It is a long way out there though! Goodness! Josh and Natalie hitched a ride on the way home and we had a lot of fun. Being deliriously tired makes for fun times! 

Jameson has so much fun with Susan!

Of course.. sideways.. stupid blogger!!! - Jameson at Olive Garden chomping on some breadsticks!

Thankfully I was off yesterday for Jameson's actual birthday (and yes.. I am aware that we celebrated all weekend!!! he is ridiculously spoiled.. I'm working on this! ;) )Of course, Jameson's birthday is also Mom's birthday, so we took her out to eat for lunch and spent some time with her then went home and got ready and went to Huntsville to church last night. Jameson was a little upset that he had to go to Church on his birthday, but I told him he would get to see Heidi and that perked him up! :) Church was good again, and another got the Holy Ghost while we were there, so it's been nice seeing two the last two nights! I was a little disappointed because i really thought there were going to be more last night, but I'm hoping for really good news this week! I hope we can make it back out there sometime this week. Yesterday was the opportune time though, not having to work made it easy to get out there in time, but this morning I was really regretting the trip! 

So I think if I can stay awake until 12, I'm going to take a little snooze on my lunch.

Hip Hip Hooray!

Yes, I know its been forever since I blogged but things have been a little busy! So, in the past month a lot has happened. There was getting ready for revival and then the actual revival which was wonderful. We had Bro. Royce/Sis. Gloria and Bro. Pat/Sis. Tammy all week and we had 6 receive the Holy Ghost! It kicked off on Sunday night and was just great all week! I got to be off this year from work so I got to enjoy the week instead of running home in a frenzy from work trying to get changed and ready and out there before there are no seats left!

Of course on Friday of revival was a very sentimental time for us because our little Joey turned 1 year old, to be Momma's little baby no more! Not that he ever really was a baby since he's been walking and Mr. Attitude & Bully for months now, but it is official! There will be a separate post later on his 1st birthday and birthday party since there are 10,000!

Last week was recovering from the ever eventful revival and recovering at work from being off for a week and it marked my first week returning as a full time employee. Yes, it is very depressing, but I made it through the week okay partly because I had so much done up before I left and very much because my boss was out of the office all last week so it was pretty easy going for me.

This past weekend we just needed a family day out and James had to work Saturday morning, but after he got home and rested a while we got out and headed to Huntsville. He called Matt and they weren't doing anything so they met us to eat at Rosie's and then we headed to Bridgestreet. We have only went a couple of times and the last time was when Jameson was one, so it was nice to get out there and thanks to Heather who had a stroller that Heidi wasn't going to use we made it through with Joey! But the kids got balloon animals made and rode on the carousel. Well slightly rode on the carousel. Heidi who loved the carousel and rode her pony proudly, Joey who got on a panda and was laughing it up and poor Jameson who is going to be my child through and through was terrified sitting on one of the benches we me, clinging to my arms asking me over and over... "All done Momma?, Get off now?, All Done???" So, the second go around we hung out on the sidelines and watched Ms. Heidi go by acting just as excited that she seen us the first time and the last! Jameson enjoyed watching her ride the carousel much more!

So, it's Monday again, but I'm fully refreshed and ready to go a big part to the wonderful blessing that was so very much needed last night at Church and another big part to the fact that my 1 year old slept from 9:30 until 7:15 in his own bed! My child has finally slept through the night and I am sooo thankful! I'm thinking I don't even need my coffee this morning, wait what am I saying that Peppermint Mocha is calling my name, but one cup should do! Hope all my fellow bloggers have a wonderful week!
