Party Time

For some reason, my children have a pretty good number of friends with Spring & Summer birthdays. So, party season has officially started for us. We attended Amari's 8th birthday party this past Saturday, and have another party to attend this Saturday. The kids had a great time at his Pump It Up party, jumping and sliding on all of the bounce houses. Demaris came along with us to the party.





After we left the party, we headed over to Don & Shirley's for a late night cook-out. Grace and Derrick spent most of their time ewwing and aghhhing over baby Devin with breaks in between to jump on the trampoline. The boys played video games and jumped on the trampoline. We ended up leaving with an extra kid when Dillon decided he wanted to stay the night with Hunter and Demaris.





Sunday afternoon, I met up with some girlfriends to carpool to our friend Susan's non-shower baby shower. Susan had asked that we all bring an appetizer and a bead, but no gifts. One of our friends is stringing the beads together for Susan to have with her during her birth. I hope it reminds her of the love and strength that will be sent her way on that special day. I had a blast at the shower eating yummy foods and hanging out with my tribe of women. I have been so blessed in the last few years to really develop an awesome core group of friends to share my journey of motherhood and life with. The first few pics were taken by the amazing Rebecca.

Susan is really funny. Just ask Donna.


The beautiful backyard

Oh, and I forgot to tell ya'll. Hunter has been saving his money up. This weekend Wes took him to Academy to buy a skateboard. He's been asking for one for a while, and I kept reminding him his birthday would be here soon. I guess he decided he didn't want to wait. He's been riding it everyday. I see ramps and rails in our future. How freakin' cute is my sk8er boy?
