Family Fun Night!!!!!

We decided yesterday that we wanted to go and do something together as a family. It doesn't seem like we do that enough. Unfortunately for us, there is almost NOTHING to do in this town. Our options were - bowling, skating, or watching a movie. The only child's movie playing was Horton hears a Who...which Lily and I have already seen!!! So that left skating or bowling. My kids are nowhere near big enough to take skating on a Saturday night (could you imagine - with all the crazy kids that would be there). So we decided to go bowling. It turned out to be really fun. The kids had a blast. Avery started getting tired of it around the 5th set or so. But when it was his turn again...he always loved it. Lily beat us all. Granted the kids were using a ramp, but still. Lily's score was 96, mine was 72, Avery's was 69, and Adams was 61. I guess I should say that she stomped all over us. Adam and I both felt like such heals!! But, the score doesn't matter. What matters is that we had such a GREAT time.

I started feeling a little sick yesterday morning. I didn't think to much about it. Adam and Avery have both been sick, so I figured it was just my turn. By the time we got home last night, I was SICK. My whole body hurt, my throat hurt, my head hurt, and I couldn't breathe through my nose. I took some medicine, but had a very VERY difficult time sleeping. I got up this morning to help Adam get the kids ready for church, and felt worse. And, if it's possible, as the day has worn on, I have felt worse and worse. I'm sure it's just the same thing that Adam and Avery had. I'm calling the doctor first thing in the morning for some drugs!!!!!

I have attached bowling pictures below!! Enjoy!!!

If Adam or I hadn't held down the ramp, Avery would have scooted it all over the bowling alley. We had to just about hold him the entire time, because he thought it looked like a good place to go exploring!!
Imagine that!! One of Avery's favorite parts was playing with the "computer"!

They both thought that the computer was cool. Lily would watch it to see how many pins everyone knocked down. She thought that it was very cool!!

No, I'm not pregnant...it's just the way this shirt is made. I kept expecting someone to come up and ask me when I was due, but thankfully that didn't happen.

Avery's favorite part - pushing the ball down the ramp!!! He would say, "Ball, Ball" and then "Yeah" and clap his hands. It was so cute!!!

Lily was a champion bowler. I was amazed at how well she did!! And she LOVED it!!

We had such a fantastic time last night!! I am so glad that we went. Even if we did get stomped on by our 4 year old daughter!!!

On a side note...Today was the annual Spagetti Supper at church. It is something that the youth does. They prepare the meal (Spaghetti, Bread, Salad, and some sort of veggie) and serve to the adults. It is always a huge success. The kids love, love, LOVE to do it and, of course, the adults love being served. Unfortunately, I was not able to go and help out. I felt bad, since it is a youth activity, and I am a youth teacher (7th - 12th grade girls). I really wanted to go and have fun with the kids. I love them all, and always have a great time with them. But, I figured that other people wouldn't want me hacking, and snotting in their food, so I decided to stay home. (I'm sure they are all thanking me). I still feel bad about it though. For those of you reading this that were there...I hope you all had a GREAT time, and I am sorry I wasn't there to help!!! I love all of you dearly!!!

We hope you all have a Fantastic week!!!!!
