Morning, everyone! Well, I really thought we were over the "California Virus", but yesterday, Katie started complaining of not feeling well. This morning, she has a full-blown fever, cough in her chest, etc. The whole miserable package. So, I've gotten everyone else ready for church, and Katie and I will stay home. I know she could stay home by herself, but it's not often she begs me to stay with her, and I'll encourage that while I can.
Alpine Days was quite fun! The parade was small, but plenty of candy was thrown to satisfy my children. After that, we had lunch at the park, and left Jacob, Leslie, and Mary there for about 3 hours so they could bounce on all the wet, bouncy houses and slides. They hung out with friends and had a great time. I love that I live in a town where I don't have to worry about letting my kids hang out someplace without me! It's so awesome!
Alan took the little kids with him to retrieve his gold panning equipment from the mountain, and they all came back muddy, wet and had a great time! I threw them all in baths, had Katie make pancakes for dinner, and Alan and I went out on a date. Nowhere special, we ended up at Carl's Jr. for a taco salad (me) and a 6 dollar bacon guacamole burger (Alan). After that, we hit up the dollar theater to see Pirates 4. It was just meh, for me. I thought it was cute, but it's not a movie I'll rush out to buy to add to my collection. I just thought the story line was predictable, and parts of it were never really finished.
Dinner tonight will be whatever I can find from my freezer. I didn't get to the store, yesterday, so we'll take whatever I can find.

My DVR will be working overtime tonight. I'm taping 4 shows so that I can watch the country music fest special.
I love ya! You're always spreading the fun! 
We had him overnight Friday! Saturday we had the family over, an end of summer swim party/barbecue for the girls. I wish y'all could have seen Jude kicking in the water. My video didn't come out. 
My 18 yo old niece Kaitlyn also came over, she's headed off to LSU tomorrow! How did that happen already? 
Haven't had that in more than a decade. 
I can't wait. He has said he would for months now and tonight is the night. I have a friend whos husband is going also, so since there will be another guy, Doug said he will go to. They both have decided tonight is the night. I will let you know how it goes.
