Hey! What a week:)

Hi!

Ok, so I think I have to go back to Monday - it was my birthday & Lexie made me a Butter Pecan cake:) It was beautiful! I took it out of the oven & put a hot pad on the table to let it cool so she could frost it later. Well, within 10 mins, she was in the kitchen yelling at Tinkerbell (her kitten) who had jumped from the window sill to the table & stepped on the cake! There was a big cat footprint in our cake:) Lexie was so mad & I thought the whole situation was funny, so I started to laugh, then Lexie started to laugh:) Needless to say, we did not bring the cake to Grandma's:) Jason's grandma made me a cake anyway & it was coconut:) MY FAVE!

Tuesday, we went to the fair. We left our house around 11 & went to Rapid to get Shannah & L'il D:) We got to the fair about noon. We walked around & the kids went on rides & we had snow cones. The kids played a game - Brett almost won - he had to throw a ball at these 3 blocks, but 1 stayed on the table, so he didn't win a prize. He really wanted one of these big sea serpents:) Lexie played a basketball game & she made all 3 shots into the hoop! She did awesome:) She got to pick a prize & she ended up picking this inflatable ball with little spike things on it:) Silly girl:) Brett was a little sad, but he didn't really pout. I wasn't spending another $5 on the game.

We left the fair about 4 to bring Shannah & L'il D home, then we headed back to town. We stopped at Little Caesars for a pizza for dinner. When we got back to the fair, my friend, Theresa, called and they were finally there, so we met up with them. Brett was thrilled to see Morgan:) He went on lots of rides with her that he wouldn't go on before:) He's got a crush:) Anyway, we didn't get far when we ran into several of our other friends, too! Phil, Chrysta, Tegan, Bron, Scott, Aiden, McKenzie, Julie, Craig, Tara, Dennis, Allie, Abbie, Bobbi, Adam, Dacota, Dawson - they were all there! We all stayed together for a while:) The kids were all very happy to see each other again:) We went home around 10. Long day:)

So Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday, I opened, so we didn't do much:( I was sooooo tired! I already told you all about the power incident Friday morning! Crazy! We ate dinner, then Jason & I went to the fair. The kids were having a sleep-over at grandma's. We went through all the barns & stuff - Jason likes that:) The Budweiser Clydesdales were beautiful, though! Also, I liked the bunnies:) We left the fair and went to Walmart to get cat food & stuff.

Today, I picked the kids up & we did a little back-to-school shopping. Summer just flew right by:( I could use another 2 months, I think:) I didn't get to do half of the things I wanted to do this summer:( Well, we'll see - have a couple of weeks to go. I guess we did a lot, but it doesn't seem like it. Oh, well. The kids each got a pair of shoes & a backpack today. They also got some clothes. I ran into my Grandma, Joan, at the mall & talked to her for a little while:) She's still keeping busy:) She's got a lot of energy! She couldn't get over how much the kids have grown!

Well, I guess the kids are pretty excited to go back to school:) Brett doesn't want homework, though:) I will have them try on their new clothes & try to upload them. I still cannot put pics up yet:( It took 20 minutes just to get to blogger! I so need a new computer & internet access! Grrr!

Anyway, I have to go check on my Chicken Parmesan that I'm making for dinner:) Yummy! One of my faves:)

Have a great weekend! Hopefully, I will have time to blog later & have the kids get on here for a little while:) Adios!
