It's Your Birthday

And yours
And yours
And mine, and if I could add, my sister's brother's and mom's. Well, not today, but all with in 2 weeks. The kids start talking birthday in April. Which got 5 of 8 all excited. Everyday she would ask "It's my birthday next?" And I would have to tell her, no, we will have babies first. She'd say, mine's after that? And I would say, no then its 2 of 8's. Then. mine next? And I would say, no then 1 of 8. Mine next? no, then 4 of 8. Mine next? No, then me. Mine next? No, then 6 of 8. Mine next? No, then daddy's. Mine next? YES!. Then 3 of 8. We have a few less now than when she started asking in April.
Yesterday was 2 of 8. Thursday is 1 of 8, and Friday is 4 of 8. We will have 4 of 8's party tonight, because my sister is getting married in the Oqquirah temple on Friday. And for their birthday I let them pick out their favorite meal and desert. Yesterday was breakfast burritos and chocolate cake, tonight chicken fingers, fries and pasta, tomorrow beef strognaff and pecan pie. On top of all that, I have to get the house ready for the babies blessings, and the luncheon after. Thursday is half shot, because we have 7 of 8's (hopefully laast) biliruben check. Friday is completely shot, because this wedding will take all day, and Saturday, I will have to squeeze in the last of the prep. Like all the salalds and meat I'm making for the, Best Bites french dip. I'm hoping I can get my house put together. It is going to have to be done last, because with 8 kids... Anything done, will be undone. I did the kids bedrooms yesterday, and uncluttered the upstairs today. I will wait to do floors until Saturday. Trent is in charge of outside. There were a few remodeling projects I wanted done before this, but I have to not think about it. It is what it is. Everyone has seen our 'project' before. So, maybe I'll survive and check in Tuesday. Oh, maybe not, I forgot I am going to let the kids have a birthday party this year, on Tuesday.

I am so excited to see you this weekend and as a bonus, I make those french dip sandwiches all the time and LOVE them so it's a good pick in my book ;-) I was wondering how you were going to fit all that stuff in with kids in school Friday. I hope Spencers numbers are few and you get good news with him tomorrow. Keep me updated.
