Long time no....blog

We have had a very busy few weeks. Joe's brother Josh was home from leave from Iraq so we pretty much prepared for that for 2 weeks before he got here. We wanted him to have a great time and do a lot of stuff in the short time he was with us. We picked him up on Wednesday night from there Dad's house and just talked and caught up that evening. Then we got up the next morning and went to Kings Island. Amazingly enough most of the lines we very long for a week day. We ended up riding a few small rides then heading out of the park for some lunch (Chinese yummy!)

This is Joe and his brother Josh waiting in line for the Diamond Back! Very fun but scared me to death.


We were all feeling pretty old and worn out by 5 so we left the park and went to Hooters for dinner. Josh and I ordered medium wings and Joe was complaining the bbq sauce was "spicy" wimp lol.
The boys had there guy night on Friday with Jessi's hubby Joe. From what I understand they had a great time. They sure stayed out late. Jessi and I hung out while they went out and we had a great time. Even though I talked her ear off and we didn't get to watch any of the movies we put in. :) Aiden is so adorable saying I wanna rock...now when Joe and I say we are going to play guitar hero we say "do you wanna rock tonight" :) Ashlyn really like Joe's work cell phone and he didn't mind her playing with it one bit so she was telling people she was at Kerrwies house. So stinkin' CUTE!!!!


Saturday was the big event. Joe's 24th Birthday. Josh spoiled him rotten and got him Guitar hero (which he gave him Friday, 2 wii guns, and 2 shooting games. Joe loved it all. Lame-o wife of his got him a best buy gift card and the rechargeable batteries for the wii controllers. Little did I know I would spend more when we actually went to best buy but I should have guessed. lol We ended up getting wii resort and 2 wii motions. It's fun, Joe is playing basketball right now!

Now for the pictures....

Logan was playing guitar hero drums with Joe. Very cute!




You can't see the controller well but he is holding it up to the tv...playing some wii. :)


Joe and Josh (rocking) and Brittany getting ready to stuff her face.



Joe and Jessi playing Mario Kart. They were so kind to bring it over. Thanks again :)



JoEllen and Jason also playing Mario Kart.



After everyone left we stayed up playing 500 Rum until about 3:30am. I was beat and Josh had the idea of "lets go to the waffle house". I figured he's only state side for another week lets take the poor boy to waffle house. Have any of you folks ever been there. If you haven't don't! That's all I am going to say. So we finally rolled into bed around 5am. It's taken me all week to recover from last weekend. But it was so much fun. It was really nice to be able to spend some time with Josh. We hardly see him since he's deployed/lives in Hawaii now.

Thanks again for coming over to celebrate Joe's birthday. It was one of his best birthday's yet. :)

Joe seemed to really be enjoying himself. :) we had a good time too. the food was delicious! too bad we did not get to stay as long as we would have liked though.

i almost did not recognize Josh and probably would not have except that you had said that he was in town. funny how some people change completely from what we remember them as in high school.

I'm sad to see Josh go! We had such a great time both Friday and Saturday!

It's hilarious you and Joe say ready to rock now :)

I'm glad you guys had a good time :) JoEllen are you sure the meatball didn't taste too much like meat? LOL! I didn't realize he was kidding at first.

Hopefully with us moving closer we can get together more often

I almost didn't recognize Josh either JoEllen. He has changed so much!

JoEllen said...

oh Kerri, i am SO sorry that he freaked you out like that. he can come across like a big jerk and doesn't even realize that people might not get the joke. he's a wiener. :P

Kerri said...

No its was funny :) it was completely ok. Just took me back for a second. I would have totally made him something else lol. But tell him he got me and he is a weiner lol

thanks for visiting my blog! I am glad I can be an encouragement. I hope the meds do the trick for you quickly. I know they can start to take a toll physically and financially.
