friends+kids+gorgeous weather = exhausted Monday morning

You know you had a great weekend when the alarm goes off and there is not one ounce of energy in your body that wants to pull you up off the bed to go get the kid that is yelling for you in the next room and get moving for the day. We had so much fun, played hard, sang to a game on the Wii way too much and loved every minute of having so many people in our house. Unfortunately we had an unexpected plumbing issue (I guess plumbing problems are never really expected!) which meant that the fun Mexican dinner I had planned for Saturday night turned into order pizza because I had no kitchen sink or dish washer. Hard to feed 11 people when you have to wash all the dishes by hand in your laundry room! I felt like a complete failure of a host but they were all great sports about it and the pizza worked out fine.
Sam loved having other kids in the house and was just enthralled with the older girls. I was also excited that she never showed an ounce of jealousy when I was holding Bryce, the adorable little man that reminded me just how much fun babies are!!
Okay, just a few pictures from the weekend. Not too many but hopefully Holly will be posting pictures soon and I can direct you all to more cute pics on her blog!! (better get those pictures up Holly you wouldn't want to disappoint the three people that read this blog! HA!)

You are definitely NOT a failure as a host...so stop it! You were a fantastic host and dealt with everything wonderfully! We had such a great time, and what a pleasant surprise when I just sat down after coming home from the gym to see pictures of the weekend. Thank you again so much for a fabulous weekend. Bryce was missing the attention today. :)
I second the fact that Holly needs to post pictures! ;)

I second Amber in that you and Chris were fantastic hosts!!! We all had a great time and the weekend was all Ella and Lily talked about yesterday. Now, about those pictures. ;-) I haven't even downloaded them to the computer yet, so you may have to wait another day or two. But I'll get them up as soon as I can. Of course, my mom is still waiting for a post on her birthday and my MIL is still waiting on a post on Easter. But I may just have to jump ahead and backtrack. :-)

Abbie, I hope your pipe issue wasn't as horrible as it seemed it could be.

We can't wait to hang out with you guys again! Thanks so much for a fabulous weekend!
