Whew! This weekend was busy! And, I probably wouldn't have it any other way, because we spent the weekend with family and just had a blast!
A few weeks ago, DJ and I saw that Boston was coming in concert to the Hard Rock Casino. He told me that it was his dad's favorite band, and we decided to invite them up for the concert! DJ's dad and stepmom arrived Wednesday, and kept Adalyn at home on Thursday.
They had the best time spoiling her!
They took her to a nature park and out for lunch ;)
Later that evening, we headed to Hard Rock for the concert.
DJ and I were the youngest ones there, and I even got carded. Ha!
In our seats and waiting for the show!
Boston put on a heck of a show! Even though I only recognized two of their songs, and I'm not in to "heavy metal" type music, I really enjoyed their guitarist! They played four about two hours!
After the show, we decided to test our luck at some slot machines. We ended up loosing, and then DJ played craps for a while, and Dianna and I attempted the penny slots one more time!
And we both ended up winning about $100.00 each!
Friday morning, the big girls and I headed to school, while DJ and Adalyn stayed home with the grandparents. They explored Tulsa a bit!
I had a meeting after work, and since DJ agreed to pick up the girls from school, I took some time to explore our downtown.
There are the cutest shops and I've wanted to just take some time for a while and browse through them, and this was the perfect opportunity. Plus, I just felt rejuvenated after spending some quiet time exploring.
Saturday morning, we decided to head to the Rooster Days parade and carnival. Rooster Days is an annual event, and we've never made the time to go! I think after this year though, we'll have to make it an annual occurrence!
We were actually late to the parade, but since it lasted almost an hour, the girls didn't mind! And, they managed to squeeze in right up front and had a great view!
They even managed to get a ton of candy!
After the parade, we walked down to the carnival grounds.
First stop- the Merry Go Round!
The girls went through the Fun House, and the Haunted House, and Adalyn rode the cars and motorcycles, while her sisters went on a "hot air balloon" ride and rode in these little aliens.
Their grandpa also let them each play some games, which meant.......
we came home with fish!
Adalyn named her fish Scotty, because that's the name of her class lizard at school. Megan chose Goldie, and Gretchen chose Nemo.
After the carnival, we came home and spent the rest of the afternoon outside.
The girls broke in the slip-n-slide for the first time this summer.
And enjoyed popsicles.
DJ smoked ribs, and after dinner and baths for the girls we sat outside around the fire.
Eventually, two of the girls fell asleep!
Sunday morning, DJ let me sleep in while everyone else was up and getting ready! We had breakfast, and opened Mother's day presents.
DJ's parents left early so they could get home at a decent hour, and we got ready for church.
I'm so blessed to the be the momma of these three little girls!
It's exhausting and I often feel overwhelmed, but they each teach me so much, and I love watching their personalities bloom.
After church we headed home for lunch, and I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning and organizing! It doesn't sound like a fun way to spend Mother's Day, but I love being able to clean and freshen up the house. I changed out some decorations, moved some furniture, and I'm hoping that we can keep the house picked up this week, so we can start summer with a fresh slate feeling!
I hope your weekend was great too!
