The Wheeler Family

This weekend started off with a bang with Becca’s Thursday night arrival! She was able to get away early (Thank you Aunt Elise!!!) and get here Thursday so we would have some extra time together! That night we played cards with Drew and Erin and watched 27 Dresses into the weeeeee hours of the night. Friday, we dragged our bootays out of bed around 11:30AM and then headed out to the Salvation Army to discover that $0.25 FRIDAYS ARE BACK!!!! We were thrilled and my kids enjoyed looking through ALL of the clothes for anything that had a yellow tag (rendering it a QUARTER).

Friday night Drew came over and we played some more Euchre and Durock (that is sooo not the way to spell it, but it’s Russian so I have NO clue). It was great fun! After Drew pooped out and Chris headed to bed, Becca and I watched The Perfect Man. It was mindless and fun, but we were up late AGAIN!!

Saturday brought even more fun as Becca, Chris and I prettied ourselves up (and the kids got to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Staley…THANKS Mom and Dad!!!) to attend the wedding of Sarah Benson, one of my friends from school It was a beautiful wedding and a fun reception! When we got home from the reception Drew came over yet again to get some more card playing in! We had to kick him out by midnight however, because we all had to be up early to head to Muscatine. Chris was meeting his friend Lori for lunch at his favorite restaurant Peking while Becca and I were heading to our friend Jeanna’s Garden BABY SHOWER

We arrived early and took in the beautiful decor and the yummy food

Soon our other friend Danaka arrived and we sat together to gab a bit waiting for the festivities to start

There were several fun games, one being Baby Jeopardy which our table totally RULED on! We all got fun prizes! Then it was time for opening the gifts and cake Then it was time to head out so that we could pick up the kids from my Mom and Dad, but not before saying goodbye and talking about when we would all get together to play SingStar again !!!!

As we picked up the kids from my Mom and Dad we were lucky enough to get to spend some time with Uncle Ben and Dom, Nova, and Lola! We always love to get to see THEM!!! Sadly, soon after Becca had to head home and even sadder, I couldn’t go with her… It was still a GREAT weekend!!!
