Pokey here we come!

Last weekend was Dani's birthday and we were really wanting to go visit but I was working that Friday nite and I wasn't sure how I would do with being up all night (it was my first night shift.) But after working til 630 then coming home and sleeping til 10 I was feeling pretty good so we packed the car and off we went.

Em trying to keep busy on the drive

We got there and hung out with the sibs til Dani got home to 30+ people jumping out and yelling Happy Birthday.




We stayed in the kitchen and let the kids run out to surprise her again. Nothing like two in a row!







Not that the evening was any where near done! Dusty, Dani's Boyfriend who was "out of town" was up next with the cake......



....and a room full of balloons. He got enough balloons and help to fill the whole room to the top



of course no one wanted to miss her opening the door.




Dani and Dusty





Tricha and Sam



Ken and Em



Al and I were sitting in the hallway and balloons just kept falling out of the room.





After the party we took a late nite trip to Walmart and headed back to Al and Kens house with Pizza and Soda. Nothing better than staying up all nite with the fam! The next day we went back to the girls to cook a great breakfast of pancakes, potatoes, cheesy eggs, and bacon. yum! and off to the park to wear the kids out before the car drive home!

Emmy and Harley


They are defiantly worth the 4 hour drive!









After the park we headed back to Al and Kens to get ready to head out and say goodbyes. The kids were really enjoying Mattie and Harleys home though...



and not to be outdone the "big kids" had to see how many they could fit it there.



It was a really fun weekend and we were really glad we ended up going, and a great big Happy Birthday to Dani!
