Weekend of fun....

This weekend was a lot of fun as a family. We went to Eric's work picnic where we got introduced to our new outside game(will be purchasing soon)and carrying on in Scottsbluff...I think we will have the whole neighborhood involved! Ha! It's called corn hole. Eric and I competed against each other but we on the same sides. I know it doesn't make sense but all you family members of ours will be playing it soon! Eric was pretty good and I did alright for my first time. Okay I stunk it up but I will be improving.

As soon as we got there the kids got a gift bag and then they lead us to a kids fantasy world. All you can eat snow cones, popcorn, veggies and dip, soft pretzels, nachos etc. We let them get what they wanted when they wanted it. How often do they get to do that. We also had burgers and dogs but they were loving the snow cones. Avery was on the look out for a friend as soon as we got there. It took about 5 minutes and then she was gone with a little girl name Ella the rest of the night. She is my social child for sure!

Here are some pics before we left.........

Brynnley is a big fan of shoes. Especially this one. For some reason she always goes into my closet an gets this one out and walks around everywhere.

These two are getting even closer as Brynnley is growing up. Avery is dying for her to play dolls and often asks,"Mom when will Brynnely be 4." Most likely because she knows that she can do lot's of fun things with her brother who is 4.

Aves and Thomas being their goofy selves! Thomas looks like one of the three stooges.

Saturday we had a great day too. Gotta take advantage of the time when Daddy is home. We went to get La Rosas pizza(YUM) and then went to Graeters ice cream(DOUBLE YUM) and later that evening went to our neighborhood block party. It was so much fun! Every single person in the block was there(one guy is single, one is divorced, and the rest are married). There was over 25 kids there and they all played so well together. There was food and games(of course corn hole) and we stayed out for hours. It was the latest the kids have been out but they were having too much fun and so was I. Honestly I really didn't think there were neighborhoods likes this out there. It was so refreshing. Everyone was so friendly and nice. One of the little 12 year old boys that came to meet us the day after we moved in went up to his mom during the party and said,"Mom, see I told you Eric and Natalie were really cool." So cute! I told his mom Alicia that she has done a great job raising her son. She has 5 kids herself. Anthony(12 year old) and Grant((8)who lives next to Anthony) were the second people in the neighborhood to come and meet us when we moved in. They were giving us the down low of everyone in the neighborhood. Eric and I were trying not to laugh the whole time. They told us there was a vampire that lived a few houses down(the single guy) cause he only came out at night. Little do they know that single people that work all go home after work and VEG...they can do that when they don't have kids. The vampire was at the party too and was very nice ;). I guess we will do this again for Halloween.

Got a busy week already ahead. Can't believe the kids start school in two weeks. Ready or not here we come!!! They are both pretty excited. We have lot's of fun days filled before they head back though.
