What a Weekend! Part 1

Thursday night little miss Annie and Ty thought it would be fun to get sick so close to the fun weekend. They threw-up all night. I've never disinfected my house so much. But I also haven't had a bunch of people coming when my kids are super sick. We actually have never had this kind of sickness with our kids. They learned a lot. :)

Anyways, Friday day those two kids weren't sick, but Annie was completely weak and exhausted. And I just prayed all day that Jo Jo wouldn't get it. By Friday night we were on the mend and then while we were sleeping miss Jo Jo decided it was her turn.

Um, did they forget that it was their day Saturday.

Everyone was coming to support them.

I prayed even harder that she would get better quick. That the sickness would just leave and that if the rest of us were to get sick it could wait until everyone left.

Saturday Jo Jo laid around ALL day in her PJ's not moving or eating, because if she did, she would throw-up AGAIN. Poor girl. Annie was still drained on Saturday, but by the time cousins started showing up, she was all better and ready to play.

I cleaned and sprayed my house a few more times before everyone showed up. And even though there was this sickness, I was SO excited to see everyone! Both of our families, all of them, were coming. So excited.

Then to add to the exhaustion of no sleep, I now felt super bad because the girls' church class were suppose to sing. That wasn't going to happen anymore because the twins were sick (and I didn't want to risk Jo Jo throwing up in front of everyone) and the other girl in their class went out of town. That left one boy and he wasn't about to sing a solo.

The baptism wasn't until 5pm and so I had all day to get things ready. And to hang out with everyone.

I feel bad that I didn't get very many pics -- the girls still felt sick and they just wanted to leave after and so we only got a couple. But we did make it through the program, baptism, and blessing without anyone throwing up, so that is a major thumbs up!

Here they are ready to go!

Dinner after was fun. There were so many people in our small house. LOVED IT!!
And I love everyone that came and supported our precious twinners. They are so blessed to have so many people in their life that care so much about them.

Since all my siblings were together, we took pics. And I love that it can go from this...

To this.

And from this...

To this...

And then this.

I'm so glad that we can be together forever. I'm grateful that we have the choices that give us that option. And I'm extremely grateful for my sisters and the bond that we share. I am so excited for my girls to have that bond and to be able to have friends no matter what. Sisters are the BEST!

I love you Annie and Jo Jo! I got the best gig in the world, to be your momma.
