daddy arrives

Clay came in late Friday night, just in time to put the kids down for bed. As you can see Charlie did not make it...... Out like a light!

dreyer family

Cousins, Great Aunt, Aunts, Uncle's, Grandma and Grandma's were all here for a family dinner. Vera had a great time playing with everyone, especially Pappa Norm!

weeee...

I took Vera to this really cool place called Bananas. It is a big warehouse full of blowup jumping toys. She had a great time and tried her best to keep up with the older kids. Sometimes I forget that she is not even 2 yet watching her climb up these 20 foot balloons and slide down all by herself!....

where a kid can be a kid

The kids and I met Granny Candy at Chucky Cheese! This is a tradition with Granny Candy and seems to get more fun the older she gets! She rode all the rides and even liked puttting the coins in the rides too! Charlie got in on the action too!

Vera, Charlie and I went over to my friend Jennifer's house. We were joined by Jaycie and Carrie, Carissa and Isabelle, Jennifer and Anniston. Charlie was out numbered by all the ladies! Check out all these cute kids!
