Jen's Baby Shower and Pawpaw's Surgery

Last weekend we were up in Weatherford for Jenifer's baby shower. She's having a boy, Hunter Kenneth. She's due April 15th and I'm SO excited she's having a boy. It's so fun that all 3 of us will have boys!!!! We had the shower at my mom's house and it went great. She got so many fun things. Oh, and even though it looks like I'm more pregnant than her in these pictures....don't be fooled.....I'm not :) she is :)

We had fun the rest of the weekend just hanging out at Grams and Pops house. There was lots of golf cart riding and choo choo train watching. Caleb had fun just crawling on the driveway eating sticks :)

Then......the fun began. We headed to Melody & Greg's and Mallory & Jason's house on Sunday night. They both live in the same neighborhood. Logan's dad was scheduled to have heart surgery on Tuesday and so Logan and Mallory flew up to Minnesota for the surgery. It was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. So I kept Mallory's two boys and my two boys at their house while they were gone. So yes, that's 4 boys under the age of 4!!!!! It was....well.....exhausting at times....definitely challenging....but I got to know her boys so much better and love on them and that was the best!

We stayed the night at Melody & Greg's house because Jason was home from work and kept his boys at night. We would just go over early each morning to be there when he left for work.

Weston and the girls had so much fun together. They are tickling/tackling each other. It was their pre-bedtime ritual every night.

Mom came over and helped on Tuesday and I took the older 2 boys to a play place called "Going Bonkers." It was a lot of fun.

It was basically big tunnels and stuff you climbed up through made of seatbelt type straps. Once you got to the top you could slide down the slides. This was definitely the best part and Weston's favorite part! He had to go down them every way possible.....his favorite....backwards & upside down.

These 2 boys were so fun......we had a great time all together.

Meal time was always an adventure....trying to please 4 hungry mouths at the same time. But we managed and no one seemed to go away hungry......not even Sawyer (the dog).....somehow he always managed to get a snack :)

Weston and Kai were buddies all week. They played all kinds of things. It was so fun to watch them. One day I heard Weston tell Kai, "I love you Kai". Kai then responded with, "I love you too Weston".

These 2 were so cute together too. This was the only way I could do outside......put them both in the stroller so I could chase down the older 2 if I needed to. They had fun clapping and pulling each other's hair.


Dinner out with Aunt Mel and the girls at Freebirds.

These are my favorite pictures from the week.....all 4 boys lined up on Aunt Mal's bed to watch cartoons. Don't worry it didn't last long....actually just about long enough for me to get these pictures.

One day we headed to their neighborhood park. I only could do this thanks to Aunt Mel and Uncle Greg's help. They all seemed to have a good time just playing and being out of the house.

Eli was trying to push Caleb.......and then later Caleb found the mulch and decided to eat it.

Uncle Greg helping with the monkey bars....

Love these boys.....

Fun with the girls in the backyard.....

Does this look like trouble to you???

Giggle boxes.....silly boy brushing his teeth and had an audience.

Big fun in the sandbox....they spent a lot of time doing this together.

So best of all, Barry's surgery went perfectly. They were able to repair his heart valve and everything went smooth. He is out of the hospital and actually back at home now. Logan and Mallory got home on Friday and I have to admit I was really glad to see them. It was a fun week but I was one tired Mama :)
