Before I get too behind again, here are a few pictures from our week. Actually, before I begin this week, I must catch up on an event from a couple of weeks ago (I had lost the pictures somewhere on my computer and finally found them yesterday!) Mark's "Uncle Joe" was in town on his way home to California, and we got to meet up for breakfast with the family. 
It was such a fun time to catch up with someone so dear to all of us. And, it is always an entertaining time when all the grandkids (five of them who are five and under) are together...especially in a trendy hotel lobby for breakfast. :)

And, the newest addition to our family, sweet baby Tyler! He's growing so much!!
Now, for this week. ...Last Saturday, we surprised the girls and woke them up early for a special surprise. We went in our PJ's, jumped in the car with blankets,
got Krispy Kreme donuts (the family standard for surprise trips), 
and headed to see the launch of the hot air balloons! It was a fun morning and there were so many cool balloons. It was beautiful to watch in the early morning. 
Especially when you have a seat like this!
The winner of "favorite balloon" for our family was this flower shaped one. We even saw it land across the freeway, as we were driving home. VERY cool.
Sunday, we got to meet up with the family for a birthday lunch and a time to catch up! A GranSunday "on location" at CPK, one of our family's favorites. It's always fun to get all the sisters and kiddos together, especially as our table keeps getting longer and longer! We never could get an entire group picture, because we didn't have a personal photographer along with us. But, Grandad and Grankay were sweet to each take a turn being the camera man.

The gang with Grandad....
The gang with Grandkay...Now we just need to "photoshop" the two pictures together!
Abby Kate with her Grandad...
and with her Aunt Cortni...
And, my favorite picture of all---my adorable prego sisters, posing so we can capture their bellies. :)
This week was another fun one with school. A picnic with parents for Carlie, along with "Cowgirl Day". She posed nicely for me before she left for school, which doesn't always happen. This time, she was VERY proud of her outfit. :)
In Kendyll's world, school at home was all about Italy. We read the book "Papa Piccolo" and did all kinds of activities based on Piccolo's adventures. This was so much fun for all of us....and even Daddy & Carlie got to participate by eating our Italian dinner that night. Here's the silly three:
That's the last two weeks in a nutshell. We're spending this weekend with Gammy and Papa Ron (and the rest of the sisters!), so I'll return with lots of ranch pictures, I'm sure.

I LOVE that last picture! It is a classic. Your family is so sweet. You do such neat things together. Looks like you are all doing well.
Very cool! I wish you had told us about your trip to see the balloons...we would have met you there in our jammies!
Carlie the Cowgirls is so cute! What a fun trip to see the hot air ballonons... I guess those are the things we miss living in the small town. Cortni looks adorable pregnant... Do they know what they are having? Yall need some BOYS! Take care and have a good weekend!
So fun! It's amazing what all has happened over the past 5 years. Is that a sliding door I see at the balloon launch?
I still have A LOT of catching up to do with your blog. I always enjoy reading your blogs! Your girls are so precious and I love seeing the changes in them throughout your blog. So sweet! :)
