Alexyss' Weekend of Fun

Wow, what a crazy, fun weekend! I worked Thur and Fri nights then got home Sat morning slept for 2 hours got up, we packed our stuff and left. At 2:00 we took the kids swimming which was so much fun. They loved the water slide! By the end of the day I was getting a workout taking Lex, Katie, and Karsen down the slide, when they realized I would actually do it with them. It was a workout, but I didn't drown. I also was pretty daring jumping off the diving board and playing in the big pool with Zoe (that pool is much colder). After we swam we got ready for her party. The kids all seemed to have a good time, we ate pizza, they robbed all adults of quarters, had cake and opened gifts. Alexyss was given a lot of cool things and she loves them all. Thank you so much everyone!! As of yet she hasn't had a real opportunity to open most things and it is driving her crazy. Ahh, maybe after school. After the party despite lack of sleep I decided to do a police ride-a-long with Sandy so that we could visit since she just got back from New Zealand. I really missed her and was glad we got to catch up. I got back to my parents house at 10 then realized I had to set my clock ahead to 11 and my alarm for 6am. That stunk but I did have a good day and most importantly Alexyss did too! Sunday morning we headed up to the ski resort to do our annual volunteer work with 5th graders as the kids played with grandma, did some snowboarding, and cross country skied. Lex got x-country ski's for her birthday and was eager to try them out. She loved it. All in all I believe she travelled almost 5 miles that day on them and wore grandma out. Nojah snowboarded most of the day but then traded the board in for some family x-country ski time. Anyway the last pic of lex and grandma Val says it all. She was pooped. We got home at about 9pm, read books and crashed. I just went out to the car to get the camera and realized I have a lot of unpacking to do so I better go. We hope everyone else had a great weekend as well.
