A Good Weekend

This weekend was packed full of fun for the Alvarado Family. On Friday Merrek spent the night at our house. We had a blast! Andy helped the girls make their very own mini pizza. This in itself was the highlight of my weekend. I could have swore it was like Christmas when I got home from work and it was finally time to make the pizza. Merrek and Kaidence sat patiently as Andy made the dough finding it very hard not to eat the cheese and pepperoni while waiting. I am pretty sure they enjoyed making the pizza more than eating it. Although Merrek was very protective of hers when they were done. The second reason I found the pizza to be my favorite part of the weekend was Andy. He is such an amazing dad. He always has something fun planned for Kaidence. This was her 1st sleepover with someone other than Raven and Ronin. It was kind of a big deal for her. Andy made it such a good time for them. I being the boring person I am hadn't even thought about dinner. I would have ordered a pizza but I have to say his was sooooo much better. So 1/2 a point to Andy for being smarter and more creative than me! The rest of the night consisted of jumping on the bed that Andy moved into the living room and dress up.

Once again Andy stole the show the next morning. Andy, Merrek and Kaidence made princess waffles from scratch on Saturday morning. Why is it that food always taste better when you make it yourself? Anyways, the girls loved them! We spent some more time jumping on the bed only this time they did it while eating peeps. Yes I understand that this seems like a dangerous task but trust me they were supervised. Sprockett was watching them the whole time! j/k
After we took Merrek home we went to uncle Jesse's soccer game. Can I just take a moment to say what a wonderful uncle he is. Kaidence absolutely loves him and he is so good with her. My mom raised a good boy with that one! The game was great because Shannon and Raven came also. Andy watched the girls as they played on the playground which was really nice because it gave us girls a few minutes to sit and chat. It's hard living so far from my mom. I really miss spending time with her so as you can imagine I loved the hour we all spent together. It was just simple girl talk...you know gossip about the people in FH, how my little bro is becoming a man, the dorky things our kids have done. It was a lot of fun!

The day ended kind of crappy with us going to urgent care for Kiki. It turns out she has a UTI. Not fun at all but after a talk about how this wouldn't happen if she went pee pee in the potty and bribing her with going to see Shamu I think we might finally get this girl potty trained!! The dr was very interesting...Trying to help your 2 year old pee in a cup is always a blast! Overall she did really well and hopefully this will be our last trip to the dr for awhile!

That's pretty much it so far. Im sure Andy will have something fun and interesting to post soon.

BTW I would just like to point out that I made him do the first blog but after that it was all him. He loves doing these things so dont let him make you think otherwise!
