Hey Everyone if you can't tell from my title I'm a little excited because I'm on VACATION from work and I couldn't be more happy about that! Yesterday at work I found out that I actually had miss counted my vacation days and I was missing two days so...my vacation is two extra days long...so I don't go back to work until August 16th...so if anyone wants to do something fun, let me know because I don't have anything too exciting planned other then relaxing and enjoying not working...ahhhhhh... I'm so happy to be on VACATION!!!!!!!! But enough of my excitement!

So this week has been a long one knowing that I was going on vacation but it's also been a fun one because we were able to have some friends over to our apartment. Monday night Phil, Sonja, Ethan and my brother-in-law Jaccob came over to hangout...the boys stayed at our place and played video games while sonja and I went back to her place so that she could show me all the fun things she has for her little baby girl that's coming in October! It was super fun and soooo cute, she has some really adorable outfits for the baby and her crib bedding is sooooo pretty, I would want it for my bedding but I don't think brandon would go for the pink. Ethan's little room is really cute too...with his little bed with the fun bedding too it's a really cute room for a little boy!! I took a few pictures while I was there and these three were some of my favorites!!!
A cute shot of Ethan, every time I'd take a picture he'd come over and want to see it! too funny
a shot of sonja and baby girl Nelson, too fun!! Sonja had the cutest dress on that night!
The newest member of the Nelson Family...I don't know if I'll spell the name right but it's schuie...and everyone he is as cute as sonja made him out to be on her blog, he is so tiny and soft and cute and adorable...I wanted to just take him home!!!! Love him!!!***
So Tuesday after work I rushed home to make some fruit salsa which turned out delicious because the girls were coming over that night to have a games night before Nicole headed back out west. Kerry brought a new game...a version of Cranium called Pop5 (i think) and it was so much fun to play...a new twist on our favorite game. I think we played it two or three times that night. Brandon even joined in on the game playing and was a great addition. I feel really lucky that Brandon is able to get along so well with the girls, they are all such important parts of my life that it would really stink if my husband couldn't get along with them. Brandon is always so funny when the gals are around. He was a good sport especially with some of the interesting events of the night, but I won't get into that on here. We also played the game Apples to Apples which nicole brought and I want to buy because it's so much fun, hours of fun!!! It was such a great night to just hangout with the whole group...normally we are two down with nicole living out west and denise in Ontario so it was such a great night. I love the girls so much and am always so glad when we get to hangout, I think the highlight from that night would have to be Laura being the Kool-Aid Man...hahhaha....sooooo funny!!!
A group shot of the girls with the cute letters Kerry brought us back from miss tiggy winkles, I'm going to make mine a magnet for the fridge. I love how all our colors work together it's almost like we planned it. Just so everyone knows who is who, here are our names from left to right... me, Kerry, Nicole, Natalie, Denise and Laura.
I wanted to also post this picture of me and denise, it had been almost a year since I saw denise...she was here for my wedding...so its been super awesome to have her in town again. Her and her boyfriend Kevin came into visit me at work and we had a super awesome long visit, it definitely made work go by faster!!! Thanks guys love ya!!!!***
That's about it for now...I'm taking this first day of vacation to just relax and do nothing. I'm sooooo happy about that. I have some cards to make eventually today, but that's relaxing to me, anyway hope everyone has a great long weekend. Oh and I need to send a shout out to Jessica and Sarah who both got their ears pierced this week and were both super brave, and also Sarah scored a goal in soccer....way to go girls. Earring pictures to come soon!!!

I didn't realize you weer on vaca that long. I'm on vacation the week of the 11th too so we'll have to do something. The pic of Ethan is too funny! So hard to take pictures of him right now, he wants to be the photographer!
Yay, I'm glad the girls went through with the ear-piercing! Apparently the first attempt wasn't a success!!!
Have a great vacation! We've been looking forward to August ALL summer too! It's finally here!!
SO guess what....Cameron not only knows his ABCs now, he can SIGN them. It's crazy! Oh, and he doesn't skip '9' anymore when he counts!!
I'm so glad to har you're on vacation! I hope you fill it with all kinds of funstuff. I certainly hope we can squeeze a card night in there too. The girls' night out looks like a roaring success. I know what you mean about your husband getting along with your girlfriends too! It's a good thing when they do.
