Crazy Couple of Weeks!!!

These last two weeks have been crazy! A couple of friends and I catered a silent auction for William's school, Jackson had tubes put in his ears, had William's 8th birthday party, and William's baptism. We also had my parents, nephew and great aunt & uncle stay with us. All of it was SOOOO much fun! Even though everything was jammed pack together, we had a great time with lots and lots of laughs. Now, I have a second to breathe today and I'm a little bit sad that it's all over. I'm missing having a house full of people. So, if anyone wants to come and visit, feel free. We have lots of room. Here are a few of the pictures from the last few weeks. (I am going to do a separate post from William's baptism)

This is a picture from William's actual birthday. Ashley's birthday was the week before, so we wanted to celebrate with her too since she was in town.
Cindy thought William might be upset that Ashley's name was on the cake so she scratched it out right before. We thought it was hysterical. Poor Ashley! We really do love you Ash.

All of the girls from our committee. We all wore aprons that we got from my friend April. Aren't the adorable? She sells them on Etsy.com

Maddie holding a corn snake. She didn't move during the whole presention. We were shocked!

We had a wonderful time with your adorable family and I must say I don't know how you do it all! we loved being with the babies who are just adorable and seeing all your old and new friends.
I LOVE my April apron you got me for Mother's Day and tell April that I love the new style which I think is very faltering. It is so adorable that I am saving it for a very special occasion.
We all loved your food and the baptism party was to die for. I know Matthew is still talking abt all you fed him.
We can't wait to have
William for a month at the lake and then to have the whole family together this summer.
Tell Merrill I am praying for him everyday and that the permits will be granted.
Love and hugs,
Mom
