Fun Weekend!!

This weekend was such a blast! Marlina and her boys flew in from California. It was going to be a big surprise, but Marlina called and told me a week ago so we could make sure and get pick ups and drop offs at the airport at good times. We did surprise my kids however and that was great fun!! We drove from the airport straight to the school on Friday. I got my kids out of class and said "there is a big surprise outside just so you know when you walk out of the door". Carter burst through the front door of the school and immediately spotted Dustin and Andrew. He threw his back pack and water bottle down and ran to them for huge hugs. It was really a fun sight to see. Dustin and Andrew could hardly contain themselves up to this point. Fun memories.
The weekend was planned around my baby shower. Marlina wanted to come to it. It was a great party. I got so many thoughtful gifts. My friend Susan from California sent a "freckly face" blanket, burp rags, and wipe container bundle that I love- she is so talented. Her link is on my creative links. Marlina purchased a darling out fit from Gymboree complete with "little sister" and "big sister" matching shirts. Another friend Jen made a bead bracelet and matching pacifier clippy. I also got a darling "Mutze" hat, bonnet, and booties made by Ashley. Not to forget any of the way cute outfits....I feel very spoiled and blessed to have such generous friends.
Later that night I took Marlina to see "Mystere" at Treasure Island. Its one of the top Cirque du Soleil shows here in Las Vegas. It was fun to take her to it because it has lots of emphasis on acrobatics and dancing as well as amazing displays of strength. Fun!
All the kids played and played and played and wore themselves out. I don't think they ever stopped talking about Pokemon the whole weekend. They spent a lot of time in the pool too! Thanks for coming Marlina and boys....lets do it again soon!!
