Oh My Goodness!!

It has been a BUSY week!! We went to China Town in Vancouver, B.C. yesterday. That was a lot of fun. We had lunch there, guess what, we had Chinese!! Hehe!! We walked around through all the little shops and found a souvenir for each of the kids, the girls all picked out their own things and we had fun picking out things for each of the boys that we left with MaMa and PaPa stateside :) Today we pretty much just hung out. I made 2 hugomungo cheese cakes, one a Sugar Free with a ground pecan/almond crust for Jason's Mom and Dad and G-PaPa, and an Oreo one for Jason and all the folks over here. I haven't gotten it out yet and served up a piece, but I am hoping that it turned out good :) My Mom and Dad drove around sightseeing today looking around the area for potential areas of interest for later when they plan to move up :)!! I know that it's a LONG way off, but it will be so nice to have them close again. Prolly a good 15 years or so give or take a decade, but here's hoping! Tomorrow, the 4th, we are planning on just hanging out here and having a wienie roast in the front yard and then doing our fireworks afterwards. Jason said that he and my Dad picked out some really cool ones for this year, some cakes, roman candles and rockets etc. I'll try to get a few pictures. Today is Isaac's Birthday, so Happy Birthday!! Not that he'll see this, but hey, I tried! And in 2 days is my Sis's Birthday!! So Happy Birthday Tia!! I miss you so much and can't wait to see you again!!! And, nope, she prolly won't see this either!! Hehe!

Saturday will be our last full day with everyone. Jason's parents leave pretty early in the Morning on Sunday, I think that they have to be at the airport at like 6:30 a.m. and then my Mom and Dad, little Bro and little Sis are leaving sometime in the a.m on Sunday as well :(!!! It has gone by entirely too fast for my liking. I wish that they could all stay another week or two!! Though, I know that Kristy misses us too and can't wait to get together again! :) I miss you to Kris-te-te :)!!

It's always so nice to have Mom and Dad here, my Dad LOVES it here, he just relaxes and enjoys the cool shade. Mom is so busy with the kids, but I know that she is loving her time here as well. And Max LOVES playing with Cayleb and Noah. Keira and Charity Ann ADORE each other and play all day long with Rosie tagging along not far behind. I really wish that we all lived closer because they are all really good for each other.

Jason's Mom and Dad love it here as well, they have their "little house in the big ranch" as I affectionately call it. We lived there for almost 2 years after we moved from Cally and while we were putting together our land and home. We haven't seen a whole lot of them the last few days, just a few evenings and they had dinner with us last night. I think that they are planning to come hang out sometime tomorrow as well, but I know that they have other family in town as well, so they try to make the rounds. Jason's cousin's and his Aunt and Uncle live up here as well now, so it's a juggling act trying to see everyone I am sure.

That's all for now, but I'll chat again later :)

And yeah, I used almost 6 pounds of cream cheese today!!
