It has been a busy week for us. Owen had his 8th birthday on Monday! I can't believe that my baby boy is 8. Time has sure flown by. We gave him 2 of presents on his birthday but he will get the rest this weekend. My family will be here friday and Saturday so we are going to have a little party with them. Then on Sunday we are having a party for Ashley and Owen with our friends! So I have been spending this week cleaning and fixing up stuff. I redid the caulking around the boys tub and got their bathroom cleaned. Then it was on to the basement to clean the walls, fix the dehumidifier, and do the laundry. I have dusted, cleaned floors, and it looks like I will be doing it all over tomorrow before everyone gets here. Between the kids and the dogs my job is never done. But on a lighter note the boys have both learned how to do a front flip off the diving board. Ashton mastered it first then Owen did. I was so proud of both of them! They are quite the little swimmers! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and I will post pictures from the parties this weekend!
