18 Years!!!

Well, it's been 18 years that Eric and I have been married! Sometimes it doesn't seem that long but yet other times it seems like we've been together forever (in a good way). This year we celebrated our Anniversay at The Melting Pot and we took J.J. with us. It was fun to share the Melting Pot experience with her on such a special night.
We had to convice J.J. that apples really do taste good dipped in cheese.
She tried it and finally agreed.
But of course her favorite part of the meal was the DESSERT!
Isn't it everyone's favorite?

J.J. - The Social Butterfly

J.J. went to a birthday party a week ago Sunday for her friend Abbey. The party was at Andretti Park. The kids had soooooo much fun!
This is J.J., Abbey and Desiree. When they were all in Dr. Rose's class last year I called them "Partners in Crime" because they used to all seem to get into trouble together.
But I guess that's the best thing about having friends.

At Andretti Park they rode in the Slime buckets. (Their version of the Disney Teacups) This was after Pizza and Ice Cream Cake. I don't know how the kids kept it down.
They rode this ride at least 6 times!

They also got to drive their own Go-Carts! This was J.J's first time.
I think I was more nervous than she was.

J.J. also played the Dance Machine with Abbey's sister.

Besides all this, they played miniature golf and rode a train.

This place was awesome!

Then this past Sunday, she was invited to a birthday party for her friend Hailey.

Things didn't start off too good. J.J. is still deathly afraid of dogs even after we have tried SEVERAL things to get her over it. I was a bad mommy and forgot to ask if they had dogs, when we got there we were walking up to door, the dog ran out. J.J. ran back to the car, got into the car and the dog chased her in and even jumped up into the car with her. She was trapped! She screamed such a blood curdeling scream. I dropped everything and had to grab the dog.
Thank goodness J.J. didn't let it bother her for long.

As you can see they had a fun "Pool Party"

This is J.J., Desiree and Hailey.

Don't they all look alike, especially J.J. and Hailey.
