My 4 Kids and More with a #LinkyParty

Hubby's 50th Birthday!

This is just a quick blog post to let my readers know that I'm not available this weekend and won't be hosting my usual weekend blog hop. I'm sure you'll understand, since it's not everyday that your hubby turns 50! We are having a family reunion in a really cool location. The reunion is to honor Hubby's aunt who turned 70 on Thursday and Robbie who turned 50 today. Good food, beautiful location, and special people equals a fabulous time. Wishing you all a great weekend too!...
