A Fun Weekend with Family!!

Hello!!

So last weekend, Sam and I were happily visited by the following members of my family: My mom, my eleven-year-old sister Lacey, my dad, my brother Joey, his wife Pa Chia, their three boys, Gabriel, Miguel and Manny, and my cousin Mindi and her two boys Hayden and Brody. What a full house!! Joey and Pa Chia, crazies as they are, decided to sleep at a hotel, but there was plenty of floor room for them a la casa de Sam and Amy!

Am I obsessed with exclamation points? I think I am. I'm Elaine.

Anyways, so they got here late Friday night. We hung out until four in the morning. Sam came home from hanging out with his friends at about 2am and decided to make a midnight snack. That included me, Sam, my dad and three hungry little boys. So funny!!

We hung out again on Saturday, trying to go bowling but being shunned by all the bowling alleys. Apparently they were full of leagues and had no lanes open. So what did we do? We went and hung out at the Junction Pub with Richie! We all had dinner, and after the children were carted home, Joey, Mindi, Pa Chia, my dad and I all stayed back and had some drinks. That is the first time that I've ever been drunk with my brother. That was hell a fun! We were giggling and laughing, and Mindi yelled at me for being touchy on some guy. Little did she know was that that guy was Eric, Ryan Heise's little brother, and I'm always touchy feely on him because he's gone to Iraq a few times and I really like him. Plus, he grew this crazy beard and I wanted to feel it.

Ok, ok, that's enough. We just had some fun. My crazy drunk dad kept telling me at the end of the night: "Un dia! Un dia!" Which means, "One Day..." So after I asked him "Un dia que?" over and over again, meaning, "One day what?" He accused me of not being able to speak Spanish. Little did he know, he just wasn't finishing his train of thought. I have no clue what is going to happen "one day," according to him..........dork.

So below are some lovely pics. I've tried to spice them up because it's fun. Please enjoy. I'll be heading back up to Minnesota during the weekend of Easter. Gabriel is turning eight and we are going to have a little party for him at a water park. Gabriel, you're so old...

Ok, Ok....

Yes, we had an exciting weekend last weekend. My whole family came down to visit me...well I guess, not the WHOLE family, since that would be like 80 people, but my immediate family. We did take pics, but my dork boyfriend has stolen the camera for his fishing trip this weekend. I'm sorry to disappoint my few blog readers, especially the stranger in Roscoe, Illinois who seems to be checking for our new news every day. We'll just have to wait until Mr. Samuel gets home before I can show you the fun and craziness that occurred last weekend. Tootles!

March Boats, Kitties and Sweet Families

So I ventured back up to Minnesota last weekend, got a kitty, and visited with my brother, his boys, my cousin Mindi, her mom and her little sister Kayla. Fun and exciting! Here are some pics...

(pay no attention to the koolaid mustaches...)


Teehee! AND...my Aunt Kelly brought over her sweet pug, Angus. How cute!!




Of course I have to add new pics of my baby Lucy. She's so sweet and tiny, and she's very cuddly and loves to snuggle and give kisses...



And Mr. Clapper is currently on his maiden voyage of the SS Clapper. Of course he went without me, ignoring my pleads to wait for me. I wanted to be a part of the maiden voyage man! But no, he went with some guy named Jeremy. He's gone, and there's no telling when he'll be back. That's ok, I've got my little baby Lucy to keep me company. I'll try to get him to take me out on the boat this weekend.

Stay tuned for next weekend, my whole family's coming down to visit Sammy, Lucy and I. I'm super excited!!!
