So when I was thinking ahead to what we had to do this weekend the answer was - nothing! I love weekends like that! So on Friday night Adam and I took the kids to Spiritfest. It was a Christian concert and had some great artist. The girls love the song "overcomer" by mandisa and so we were pretty excited to hear her sing live.
Saturday morning I woke up to a birthday surprise! The kids made me the most adorable gifts. A painted jewelry box, a painted cross and a picture frame. Adam got me a new sonic care Roth brush and electric floss, new sun glasses (which are awesome, I think it is so hard to pick out sun glasses much less for someone else - so well done) and my parents spoiled me with a few new shirts, precious pjs, a bracelet, robe. I was feeling the love and surprised bc my birthday is still a few days away!
We also went car shopping. I really hate car shopping. Adam has been researching cars for about a month every single night to find deals for us. My car has been having serious problems and it has just hit over 100,000miles. He also was on the hunt for a new car to replace his truck. His truck is amazing but he is the only one ever in it and it is a gas guzzler. He decided if he was going to save he was going to save the most he could. Here are Hank and Adam working deals!
And check this out - if you are thinking what I was telling Adam - below it is the ugliest car ever. However it is saving a ton of money, gets 44miles to the gallon and my sweet Adam didn't care what color it was as long as it got him from point A to point B.

Then we came home from what was a long day...to a tiny surprise party and a beautiful cake made by my amazing neighbor June and her soon to be daughter in law Christina. Adam quickly poured a few glasses of wine for everyone, whisk the kids off to bed and we enjoyed an adult game night! It was a total surprise and so much fun. How sweet is this dance cake! It tasted like heaven!
They forgot candles so they lit matches and started singing to me! How cute is that!
Game Time! Oh yes and we raided the kids Halloween candy - that is what you see all over the table!
Somebody was having a little too much fun!!! He fell straight out of his chair while trying to guess the answer
Then Sunday we went to church and came home and Hank fell asleep on me - HEAVEN!
While we were busy with our weekend the rest of our family was celebrating sweet Harper's 1st birthday. It is amazing to think last year I was there for that incredible day and now she is 1. She is the sweetest, happiest baby I know!
Loving her cake!
And of course sharing it too!
