Last Lazy Weekend

Hi everyone! I know its been awhile and its likely to be even longer after this weekend. Let me give you a rundown of the Bottjen summer!

Next weekend- Dinner in Rogers for Joel's 30th birthday! Our friend Joel is turning 30 soon. He is going to Vegas (without me because he sucks) to celebrate but we are taking him and Alex to dinner at Johnny Carinos in Rogers with the Davis', the Settle's, the White's and of course ALL the kiddos. Should be interesting.
We are having a pool party the next day. Gotta celebrate the 4th of July by the pool!

Weekend #2- POKER night! Jim and I play poker once a month with a league the Settles started a couple years ago. We have a great time! I don't know why...I have yet to win! But I have been placing pretty high the last few months so maybe its coming!

Weekend #3- Lake of the Ozarks!! We are meeting up with Jim's family in Missouri. I am really looking forward to it. We usually see them every summer, but we missed last summer because Averi was just too small to travel. We are going to have 6 kids up there all 5 and under!!

Weekend #4- Dinner party at the Davis'. We just started this dinner party thing this year. I thought it would be fun for us to all get together every month with the kids. We rotate houses and bring side dishes. Its a lot of fun.

Weekend #5- We are leaving for Texas to hang out at my dad's beachhouse! WOO HOO! I can't wait! Dad, Trish, Aunt Patti, Uncle Ron, Lindsi and of course all of us...I am really looking forward to it. Sydni has never seen the ocean and course Averi hasn't either so it should be a really memorable trip.

By then we are in mid-August! WHEW! Our dinner party will be that month sometime...

So as you can see we are going to be so busy, but I am looking forward to all of it! As the girls get older there are so many things we are able to show them. Disney World is coming soon!! heehee
