WOW!

Time has definitely been slipping away from me faster than I'd like! :)

Been busy! :) Chavalah's tubes were successful, however, straight from surgery we went to her pediatrician and found out she had pneumonia, so been busy with getting her well! She's doing much better now! So thankful!

Celebrated a big birthday yesterday in our home! Boy did we have a fun-filled day! We woke Ezra up by going into his room and singing Happy Birthday! :) Oma was here to do that with us. Then we all ate donuts (one of Ezra's favorite breakfast foods). I finished his birthday cake with the help of my mom. We had to do the letters for his cake. He was SO EXCITED about his Veggie Tales birthday cake! What a doll! :)

Ordered in pizza for lunch because that again is one of Ezra's favorite foods! :) Ate quick, then our birthday party guests started arriving! :) Just family, but guests nonetheless. We played outside for awhile then came in to cut the cake and open presents. Then played outside some more. Our guests left around 4. I started dinner, we grilled out, and then daddy started a fire. We all went outside to sit around the fire.

Daddy & Laine went on a Starbucks run for this tired mommy and turns out our Starbucks closes at 7!!!! WHAT!? SERIOUSLY!? Guess I've never wanted one this late here in Maricopa! :) My dear dear husband ran all the way into town (15 miles one way) to get me a Starbucks. He didn't want to come home empty handed! :) What a man! HE LOVES ME SO MUCH, I KNOW! :)

Daddy & Laine then camped out the rest of the night! Laine could hardly sleep he was so excited. Their lights went out at MIDNIGHT! :) They slept until 8 this morning! :) Came inside and both of them are sleeping again this morning right now as I type this! :)

Must go start lunch! :) Lots to get done today! Hoping to accomplish a lot of packing for the trip we leave on in 4 days! :) Yippee!! Iowa HERE WE COME! :)
