Around Town

A few things I missed in our crazy, busy, beautiful life.  

We all got together at Gloria's and had a big celebration for Aunt Lyndsie's 25th birthday.  Lila got to sit right next to the birthday girl and was in hog heaven all night.
 

We took dad up on his fun idea to go enjoy the park one gorgeous afternoon.  The girls brought their bikes and J brought his ball and glove. 

Too bad these pictures paint a completely different scene than was our reality.  After encountering the smallest of small hills, Lila hopped off her bike and refused to get back on.  This caused some crying from her, begging and pleading from me, all to no avail.  She would hear nothing of getting back on that bike.  Instead, she said we could push her bike all the way around the pond.  Now doesn't that sound like fun?!  After trying for at least 45 minutes, we just packed it up and went home.  Womp, womp, womp!  Hopefully we will have better luck next time:)

Last Tuesday, I joined my mom and her Aunt Ruth for Meme's birthday celebration at Pappasito's.  We did it up right, too!  Tableside guacamole, margaritas all around and a brownie sundae for dessert.  Too bad I didn't get to have a rita myself.  They sure looked good!

Why should the big kids have all the fun at school?  We took Lila, Sawyer, Carter and Temple to Kid Mania last week for some good times.  They played in the jungle gym a while and then had a blast riding these rinky dink little rides.  Who knew 50 cents could be so fun?

And finally, my sweet friend Emily had her baby girl a few days ago and I got to visit them in the hospital.  Yay!  Baby girls are so very precious.  I can't wait for ours to arrive!!

That catches us up a little bit.  There have also been many, many birthday parties in the mix too.  Lots of fun with friends for sure.  Our kids are starting to think the weekend is not complete without going to a few birthday parties.
