Well we spent the Thursday night and Friday just swimming, and playing at playground going to game room, Saturday I got up and went to Huntsville One of our close family friends is getting married and my sister hosted a shower for her. For those of you who read my blog you hear me talk about Lori and Jennifer a lot. How we grew up spending almost every waking weekend in the summer together our father's spent the whole winter (hunting Season) together. We even spent a Thanksgiving together! Lori as wrote in her blog about how special our relationship is. Let me just agree and say it here. I always see these people in Scottsboro who are friends and have been friends since they were six years old and think wow that's way cool, but just the other day when I got an invite to Jennifer's wedding It hit me. I HAVE THAT. Laura, Lori, Lisa, Jennifer and Randi have been friends since we were little girls. We have been to each other's weddings (none of them to mine, but even my sister's did not come I eloped)We have prayed for each other through house sales, adoptions, and even when our four legged children are sick. I am so thankful to have all four of these ladies in my corner. Trust me when push comes to shove having the older two in your corner is the best place to have them. :o) Anyways we had a great time at the shower getting to see old friends and made some new ones. I am super excited about Jennifer's wedding Bo and I are making it a over night get away to Knoxville! :o)
Well at the shower I decided it would be a great idea to bring my two nieces back to the campground with me to surprise my girls. I picked up Addie first then Alana and then we headed to McDonald's to get milk shakes and take a potty break. Then to Wal-Mart to get Lana some rubber flip flops and a few things Uncle Bo called to say we needed. We had the best time driving down screaming Radio Disney songs and yelling at the slow "hairy armed granny man" (as Addie and Alana named him) on his motorcycle that was going two miles an hour. We got back to the camper and I told my two girls to go get the grocery's out of the car when they opened the door my nieces popped out it and my girls went nuts screaming and they all four jumped up and down. Then got right to business at hand Lets go to the park and play. We ate supper then headed for the park then to the pool then back to the park, made smores then headed back to the pool then got shower's and it was bed time. We had church in the morning and it was going to be rough getting four little girls ready.
Sunday we got up made breakfast and got the kids dressed and in the car. It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. We just brushed teeth, brushed there hair and they got themselves dressed and in the car. We got all the way to Huntsville was crossing over Monte Sano Mt right there on 431 at the Women's and Children's hospital and Silas got car sick. I mean we were not 5 miles from church. He could not help it and Praise the Lord we had learned our lesson and have two outfits packed just in case. We got to church got him cleaned up and changed his clothes. Then it was time to go watch my baby girl graduate from Little Praiser's into Kids Quest. Wow where does the time go? It just does not seem like the other day I was putting her in the one year old class and now she is in with her big sister and cousin's in Big Kid Church. Pastor Norm and Liz did a great job of making them feel extra special they got to wear little paper Cap's with a paper Tassel and then stand before parents and the other little ones as she prayed over them and graduated them. We went back to Little Praiser's and had cake then Pastor Jackie came to get the kids to bring them to KQ. Bella had a great time and I have to say I teared up a few times. I am so proud of my girls. They may drive me nuts and sometimes I worry that they don't act enough like children but they are such good kids and they make me and there father very proud. We left church and went to eat at TGI Friday's. Addies Mom picked her up at church so we only had Alana left. So we had a great time of playing I spy and paper rock scissors while we waited on our food.
Then Uncle Matt came and picked her up then it was time for Sam's. We got a few things in there and then headed to Toy's R Us for Bella to pick out her Birthday gift. haha I know her birthday was in April but we never have had a free time to go to Toys R us. So we went in and she picked out a Bike while in there Bo called to tell me the bottom had fell out and that it was hailing. He went to Starbucks to get me a coffee then came into Toys to get the bike. I have a good hubby. ;o) Then we went to Grant cause well there was no reason to hurry back to the camper with the storm. We got to see Princess my parents cat's kitten's. They are so cute and tiny. If anyone is in need of or wanting a kitten let me know. They will be ready to leave Momma in about six to seven weeks. Bo and Daddy put the bike together well they started to then realized we were short a petal. UGHHH well we said our goodbyes and headed back to the camper!This membership has been a life saver for me. I don't think I could have spent the summer at the apartment with three kids. Down here they can ride there bikes and play at the playground go swimming all day and all night. Its just been the best thing Bo and I have bought in a long time. Monday-Today we have gone swimming, played at the park, gone on walks, rode bikes grilled out took long naps. It has been great yesterday we had to go back to Scottsboro so we could vote, go to the grocery and then go pick Kenzie up from VBS. We have had a great time so Everyone you are up to date with all things that are Boatner. If you are still reading this you are either really into this blogging thing or as bored as I am. ;o) I hope you all are having a great week and that you find a pool or a lake somewhere. ITS HOT! Blessings!
