Happy Birthdays! Jack and Ben!

Jack and Ben's birthday's were celebrated about three times this last week! Each time was really fun, too!
We started the celebration at their grandparents house for dinner on Saturday.
Ben, Grandma Bonnie, Grandpa Dick, and Jack.This is their birthday celebration with their friends on Sunday. Which was followed by two hours of laser tag with a ton of kids. We had a ton of fun, too! At one point, I ran into a corner and got a (still) very painful bruise on my shoulder; at the same time, someone 'got' me with their laser, and Rachael thought I was play acting that I actually got shot! Ha-ha! But, no, it still hurts!Jason and I took the boys out on Tuesday night to pick out their birthday presents and take them out to ice cream. They had a pretty fun time too! We got off pretty easy, somehow, Ben was totally content with a $7.99 play gun and Jack got a whole lot of stuff for only about $20! What a deal! We were trying to get them to get more stuff, but they were completely happy with what they chose and didn't want anything else! We then headed to Dairy Queen and had ourselves a pretty great time!

My Grandma Annie

Rachael, Lori, Bella, and I were lucky enough to fly down to Oklahoma to visit our Grandma in a nursing home. There's a lot I'd like to write about, but for now, I will just add a few photos, and write later.

This was right before Rachael and I left Grandma Annie, "all alone" as she put it. Makes us so sad! (She's great at guilt trips though! Gotta love her!)

Grandma just loved Bella!
Grandma has some of the cutest facial expressions!
This is right after we woke her up from her nap and surprised her that we had come all the way there to visit her for the weekend! She was so happy! (And thought she was dreaming too!)
