Sunday!

Hope you all had a beautiful weekend. Ours was pretty busy with Brian having a 3 day! Friday we went to Brians grandparents house and the kids had a great time. We BBQ'd and played outside a lot. The kids loved when we took them on the 2 golf carts and raced all around the yard together. We stayed almost all day and came home pretty pooped!
Yesterday we had a ton to do during the day to get ready for last night. We ran around getting things together and parked the truck around 11am in the shopping center. Then we went home and played around and Laci started using a scooter! We let her take a very late nap and she didnt wake up til almost 5pm! We then packed the car up with everything and coolers and stuff and headed up to riverstone. We actually got a parking spot for the car pretty close too! We unpacked the car and got the bed of the truck all done up in the back with blankets and pillows. We had a dinner of peanut butter and jelly, red white and blue little debbie cakes, and chips. The kids colored pictures with me, blew bubbles, and popped lots of snap pops from the back of the truck. As it started to get dark we let them play with the sparklers too. As dusk came in we all snuggled in the truck and found out that our parking spot was front row to the show! The kids did amazing! They screamed and shrieked and jumped up and down with their hands in the air with excitement! The loud booms didnt scare either one! The show was good and lasted almost 40 mins with a decent grand finale. The pictures were amazing, and even in the traffic home the kids were fabulous for me! We got home around 10:30 and there was still a lot of fireworks going off too close to the house for the kids to sleep so we sat outside in the driveway til 11 doing more of our own fireworks. Finally we laid the kids down around 11:20. I didnt get to sleep as well as everyone else did and finally passed out around 1am. Laci was up early and we have been blessed with some much needed rain today.
Now for my sad news...
I got up this morning and looked at all my beautiful pictures on my camera. Then decided to make a disk since I was getting up there in pics on the memory card. I opened the camera on the computer and went through looking at all of them one by one with no problem. Then i put in a disk, high lighted and copied all the files of pics and pasted them in the disk window. Copying started. Then when it was done I found out that for some reason ALL but 3 pictures from last night and all but 4 from Monkey Joes on wednesday are gone. The computer says that the format cannot be read...and then to my absolute horror I see that for some unknown reason the pictures are ALL GONE on my camera card!!!! That has never happened before!!! So now, all my beautiful amazing, sweet pictures are GONE!! ALL GONE!!!!! I am tearing up again just typing it. :( I just dont know what to even do. I am in complete shock. :( Ugh!!! I am so so sad. So I have no pictures to share this morning except whats in my head. And they were all beautiful. :(

Anyhow my good news is that Laci is completely potty trained! It was hard to do, but it done and she hasnt had a diaper on at all, even over night, in 3 days now!!! I am so proud of her!

Well its sunday, one week from now I will be crying again saying goodbye to Brian at the airport. I will have to bring both kids now because Joey has possible Mononeucleosis and is very very sick. So I probably wont have much company while Brian is gone. :( Brian's birthday is Tuesday and we will be going out for dinner as a family now instead of the date I did have planned with a babysitter. Oh well.

Anyhow hope you all had a beautiful 4th of July. I know I did!! :)
