Spring Break Fun

We have been having a very relaxing, yet productive spring break. We started the break off with play-dates with friends and neighbors. I absolutely love my neighbors! They invited us over for dinner on Saturday night for grilled pizzas. These are soooo yummy! Kaylana read to Abby and Grandma Bette while they waited for the pizzas to cook. Christina was in charge of the grill and I was the assistant, aka the "runner". If you're ever looking for some new ideas for the grill, you should try these pizzas, seriously, they're delicious!
Here's Grace enjoying her pizza and playing with Christina. Both of them were in goofy moods. Later that night we played the Wii and I'm proud to say that I did amazingly well!! Usually I'm a second place person, but it must have been my night because I was in first place over and over and over again. In fact, Christina wouldn't leave until she won a game. (I posted this one just for you Christina :)
Later we headed down to visit my sister and her family. It was my niece, Julia's, birthday. She asked for a giant cookie cake rather than a normal cake so I did a little research and this is what I came up with. I cooked the cookie in 2- 8in pie tins and then put ice cream between the two layers. It was so yummy! I'll definitely make this one again.
Here are 3 of the girls goofing around while they wait for us to sing to Julia. Don't you love the bowls on their heads?
Here she is! Julia turned 8 years old. She is a beautiful, amazing awesome, fantastically sweet girl. We love her so much!
One day we had to pick up the girls from school, so Abby and Sophie were playing around in the car while we were waiting. These two crack me up.

After school and before softball practice, I took all 5 girls to McDonalds for sundaes. There was a play area and they played together until Lauren had softball practice. Then we headed home for pizza and the movie "Tangled". We headed home later today, after some shopping at the outlet mall of course.

Did you ever think that maybe I didn't want to ruin your night, by beating you at everything, so I let you win? :)

(Man I am not good at the Wii!!!)
