Exciting Week!

This week has been busy since before it started!! Since it is birthday week that adds to the fun.

We started off with Josh's birthday on Monday. We had a nice dinner at Texas Roadhouse--everything was so yummy!

Tuesday was a day off and we chose to spend the day at the pool. There are only a couple days left before it closes for the season --big boo hoo from us! It was so relaxing. We added a little sun color to our skin. We all even played in the water jungle gym thing. It is hard to describe. There are all of these gadgets and gizmos that squirt water, buckets that spill over on you, a GIANT bucket that dumps on the people below etc... It was quite fun. We had some people come over for small group in the evening. Root beer floats were yummy!

Wednesday was Aliyah's birthday. She has been so excited for so long about it. She woke up early and went downstairs to watch a movie. She got the biggest smile if anyone told her "Happy Birthday". Since everyone is so busy and this birthday falls in the middle of a work week, we will have a little party with family later.
Aliyah and Keirah enjoyed playing with Aliyah's new doll.

Today was just Thursday and that meant work for both of us as usual and catch up on stuff at home for me. It was kind of nice to simply water my flowers, water the yard, straighten up the house, catch up on the checkbook etc...

The weekend is full as well, but that's fine. We are living summer the way we love to--plenty of fun!

Oh yes, my garden received 1st place in the city garden contest. We were very excited!! We didn't even know until my mom called us and told us it was in the newspaper. The money is going toward my new kitchen floor to be installed in a couple of weeks by handyman Josh.

Hope your week has been fun as well!
