Happy Birthday Baby! I can't believe how fast time has flown by. You never get the peaceful day or weekend as far as that goes. It was a whirl wind week and even more so for the weekend. I always think I will buy extra at Christmas and save for your b-day, it never happens. I went shopping for your gift and couldn't find anything that was right for you. I thought about giving you those earrings from China, but I would love to hold out a little longer...maybe your 13th.
Our Saturday started with getting the hair done. Those darn short bangs, I put more little rubberbands in to hold them and used more gel than ever. I made stew for lunch which was really brunch. We needed to be on the road at 11. Gene didn't want to stay in Lamoni for the swim & pizza, so we drove separate. We stopped by Walmart in Osceola and grabbed skittles & starburst for Tia to pass out for a treat. It is hard to believe all the girls that have issues with their legs. Makenzie came with a bum ankle and wasn't able to participate, she sat with a bag of ice. The first pass during the girls game went okay. The girls bb team started out way behind with the score and ended up loosing by a few. They had a great second half! Our kids did a great half time of the boys game (the first one was practice). The kids were able to head to the pool after a few photo opts. We missed the end to the boys game. It started alot like the girls game...we got an update that it was in overtime and they ended up losing by 2. We had swim suits of which Tara thought we were nuts. The pools shallow end was 4ft which is what Tara is, so she had to hang onto the side. Kate saved her(from boredom) by walking around in the pool with her, thanks Kate! Pool time goes fast and we move onto pizza. The kids love the day! We stopped in Osceola and grabbed Pizza Hut for Gene, a movie and potatoes (not sure why, we aren't home long enough to cook). Time for bed to start over again.
Sunday started with a present waiting. Tia wanted to know when she got to open it. I gave her the choice since the day was going to be so busy and she chose immediately. We hit the road at 7:30 for Indianola to play basketball against Waukee. We swung thru BK for breakfast, a b-day treat. Gene stayed home with Tara, cause we weren't sure how many games Tia would be playing. Didn't end up being many, they lost the first one for Sunday and Tia's team lost 2 games on Saturday. We headed for home...I scooped the sidewalk of the several new fluffy inches of white stuff. Made Tia's triple choc b-day cake and headed to Truro for Tara's bb game vs. MstM. There was only one game, which was team 1 (Tara is team 2, but 5 girls didn't show, so Tara played a little bit). It was more obvious she doesn't understand what she is needing to do. It will just take time and practice. It was 4:30 before we got home and Gene was getting ready for work. Tia blew out candles as he was walking out the door.
