What A Great Weekend!!!

DS had a great birthday and our birthday celebrations lasted all weekend! We had the party on Saturday as planned and then we had a full day with family on Sunday as well.

The birthday party was a lot of fun! We started the party around noon and lasted until almost 5. After the party we took DS to Toys R Us where he got 2 Gameboy games with his birthday money. While he was there he also got his birthday crown and even though they were out of helium at the customer service counter, they tracked down a balloon for him. (I thought that was so sweet!!!) He did get a few Happy Birthdays from other shoppers and proudly wore his crown while I got to carry his balloon through the store.

After we left Toys R Us, DS wanted to eat at KFC. If you know DS, you know how sociable he can be so when we went into KFC he proudly (and loudly) announced that it was his birthday. LOL The manager just happened to be standing close by and gave him a free Kid's Meal! Way to go!!! LOL (I thought that was so sweet, too!)

After KFC and since it was so late, we offered to buy DS a DVD instead of going to the movies. He was all about getting a new DVD and ended up getting two older (and cheaper!) releases. His picks were The Spongebob Movie and The Pacifier. We let him stay up until 11:30 and watch the Spongebob movie while eating lots of popcorn.

The next morning, we went to church... which was AWESOME! If you want to visit a church that is awesome and the presence of God is truly evident then you should come to church with us one Sunday or Wednesday . God is really moving and wonderful things are happening!!! I have honestly never felt the power of God so strong as I did on Sunday morning. The presence of God was so heavy that I had a hard time even standing up!!! So again, if you are interested in being part of an awesome church, leave a comment or email me and I'll give you directions!!!

After church, we had to stop in at Walmart to pick up a few things for the barbecue that afternoon. My father in law and his wife showed up around 2. We had a great time with them, too!

We visited with family until almost 8 that night and then we emptied the pool and played with our puppy, Brisco, for awhile. We let DS stay up until after 10 and then we watched a little bit of tv before turning in for the night.

Overall, we had a GREAT weekend!!! We are all a little bit tired, but it was worth it. :-)
