The kids and I had planned for a FULL day of birthday parties (3 to be exact) on Saturday the 20th. But Jacob decided to take off from real work on Friday to mow his yards he normally does on the weekend so that he could have a day off and go fishing at Beavers Bend. The closer it got to time for him to go, the more I wanted to go. I don't really care for the fishing part, but it just sounded like fun to get out for a little bit. So he left out before 9 and I finished up my 4th and final cake for the weekend. The kids and I decided to go to one of the parties the earliest one, and headed up to Oklahoma after lunch.
We drove up and while they watched Garfield, I listened and enjoyed the scenery on the way. When we got to Idabel there was a drive through Subway so we stopped and got sandwhiches and met Jacob at the WalMart there. We headed to the park and finally found an empty campsite with a picnic table and ate our sandwhiches and changed into our swimsuits. We headed to the swimming area and swam in the river as the kids say, then rented padel boats (which by the way are NOT fun to me) but the kids loved it. Colton wanted to see where daddy had caught his fish so we went on a baby hike with the babies along the river before heading out to ride goKarts. I don't think I have ever had so much fun in one day with my whole family. We then headed home and stopped in Idabel at a yummy mexican restraunt for supper and then drove on home.
Next time we are going to plan ahead and leave out earlier and spend the WHOLE day soaking up the sun around the river. We hope to have a camper some day sooner than later hopefully and maybe have a few weekends like this.

Since my last post.....
On April 3, one of my very best friends Melissa had two handsome boys....Camden Marshall and Easton Lee. They are 2 of the sweetest babies I have ever known, and she may very well be one of the greatest mommies out there. Congrats Aunt Issa!!!!
April 17, Jacob and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. His mama and daddy kept the kids for us while went out by ourselves. We went to the mall in Longview and out to eat at Papacitas. I enjoyed my time with him, but while we were gone, my mom called him and they had put my grandma on a ventilator (life support). I really tried to have fun, but all I could think about was her, so after dinner we headed back to MP to go to the hospital to be with my mom, grandpa and unlce for a little bit.
April the 18th was my 26th birthday, and to be honest, it sucked. I woke up at 8 to a phone call and they told me they had given my grandma a 20% chance of survival. I was heartbroken and spent the whole day and night at the hospital. She made it through, and for 4 weeks was at TRMC in Mt. Pleasant.
Sometime, the end of April or early May, my other best friend Amy (who happens to be Melissa's twin sis) called me and told me to get ready, because I am going to be an Auntie again late December or early January (now its confirmed it will be early January).
Thats about all I can remember, which proves to me, maybe I should do this more often.
