My Happy List

My Happy List THIS week pretty much consists of ONE major event...My Sister Amy's BOYS!!!

Three of my darling nephews, Parker 10, Tyler 7 and Steven 4, came to spend the week with us and it has been nonstop fun since they walked through the door. I have a million pictures to share of them swimming in our pool, playing in the game room trips to the skate park and general awesomeness.

I wish I could share them in THIS post, but we are all at my in laws B&B in San Rafael and I forgot my little USB drive thingy for the SD Card....or whatever those thingys are called. So y'all will have to wait for those pics.

We had the most fun day yesterday. First...

We had some lame errands that needed to be run first thing in the morning. Both Big Daddy and I had Dr. Appointments (we have been putting them off for weeks now for fun stuff instead) in Tracy, so we loaded the kids up made sure we had snacks and junk for them to do while they waited for us and off we went. The boys were awesome, I mean really how lame is it to have to sit in a waiting room for an hour?

BTW I had to get 2 shots, tetanus and a pneumonia shot....super lame. My arm where the tetanus shot is freaking killing me!!

THEN we had a long drive to Oakland where Big Daddy had to drop off an application to take an exam for a job change he is considering...more on that another time, maybe.

Then it was off to the land of relaxation and serenity that IS my awesome in law's B&B. I love this place.

We got here, grabbed some burgers at A&W and took our lunch to the SUHWEEEETEST skate park...really awesome. The kids hoovered their lunches and got their gear on and were off.

Big Daddy stayed with them and I went with my super awesome mother in law to do a little shopping. Our plan was to go to the market to get some grub for dinner but we stopped at a cool liquidation store and Kohl's before finally making our way to the market.

Meanwhile Big Daddy and the boys had abandoned their boards and went for a hike. Big Daddy is proud to tell anyone who will listen (and since you are here) that he can beat all of the boys in a footrace.

We all met up back at the house for BBQ dinner and while we were busy getting fresh berries and watermelon sliced and cooking, Big Daddy went for a 3 mile run and then came back and took the kids to the park. I swear he has MORE energy since he started running. *jealous*

We had a great evening that ended around the fire pit roasting marshmallows for S'mores and hearing the boys sing their Scout Camp songs and tell their silly stories.

When the boys said their bedtime prayers Tyler thanked Heavenly Father for "the best day of our lives".

Yep, THAT was the Tippy Top of My Happy List.

So what's on your Happy List? Link up YOUR Happy List posts if you wanna...I would love it!
