This last month has been really crazy for us and I am so excited to update, so here goes....
Abbi turned 7 as I mentioned and I gave in to her request of having a slumber party with a couple of her friends, so she invited Celeste from her class last year and Elizabeth and Katelyn from her class this year and Allie McDougald, her cousin. It was a lot of fun, we had them make pizza's for dinner and then they each got a gift bag with fingernail polish and lip gloss in it so they did a make over and then they watched a movie and played Barbies. At 10:00 a.m. Elizabeth and Katelyn had to go home, but Allie and Celeste and Abbi, Whitney and Sammie slept on the living room floor and Mom got to sleep on the couch because they wouldn't go to sleep until about 12:30. I did get a nap on Saturday late afternoon, but it was pretty short because we also went to Chris's final softball tournament that afternoon and his team took 2nd place, which aws really exciting! They finished the All-star season with two 1st place trophies and 2 2nd place trophies so Chris has a really good trophy section in his office now, which is kind of fun. Whitney's birthday was August 18th and Aunt Shelly and Uncle Gil were very kind and let her have a pool party with all of the family and it was so much fun! Aunt Wendy took all these great pictures and quite a few more, but I am not quite smart enough to figure out the slide show feature yet, maybe when I have an extra hour or two without a large stack of work still to do tonight... We'll see... That is our latest and greatest update, we are looking forward to the fall and for Football Season to start, go Cougars! Chris is okay with Brett Favre going to the Jets and wishes him the best, but his favorite team will always and forever be the Packers. (I don't think he would ever change either, just because he has our kids trained to chant for the Packers so well!)
