Sunny Saturday

Jace decided he did not want to sleep in for the second day in a roll. However, this morning was even earlier than yesterday. We got up about 4:45 this morning. I gave him some teething tablets. His bottom two molars have been coming through for a while now, and are really bothering him. At 7:30 I woke up John and let him take over. I went back to bed and got to sleep until 9 or so, which was fabulous. We got up and around and got the house cleaned and got packed for Monday. Well, all that we could get packed. We are leaving at 2:00 a.m. Monday morning so we want to be able to load everything up tomorrow night so all we have to do Mon. is get up, brush our teeth and hit the road. We then went and cleaned the church and then headed to sweet, little, Ruby Kate's birthday party. She will turn one next week. It was a swimming party and the boys had a great time. Jace didn't care for the water at first and just wanted to keep getting out, but he finally came around and splashed around. Stacy had the best and most creative idea for Ruby Kate's birthday. I only wish that I would have thought about it for Jace's birthday. She painted a little desk and put Ruby Kate's handprint and the number 1 beside it. Then every birthday from here on out she will do another one. What a sweet and memorable birthday idea. Not to mention something that she will treasure the rest of her life. Great idea Stacy, I loved it! After the swim party we headed to John's parents to eat supper and visit. They wanted to see the boys before we headed off for vacation. My mother in law cooked bbq ribs, homemade french fries and an italian salad like mix with tomatoes, brocolli, and cucumbers. It was all delish!
