Happy 5th birthday!!

How is it possible that my tiny little babies are 5 years old today? This birthday has been strangely emotional for me. I guess because I know they will be starting school soon, and five is the first "big kid" age.



On another note, I think they had a fantastic birthday. They had three parties all together, and made out like bandits as usual!! Here are a few pics from their school party today, and then our "family" party with our good friends the Regans from down the street!!
Have a wonderful 6th year my angels...I love you!!!






Our biggest hit. The geo trax airport.

Cheesing with our buddy and favorite cousin, Collin!

We had our fifth birthday party at a bowling alley called Alley Cats. We had all our Texas cousins there and a few friends from school and the neighborhood. We got to bowl and play video games, and we had lots of fun!!

That ramp helped the ball go lots faster! Thank goodness!!!

Trip to Alabama

We took a family trip to Alabama last week to visit my brother Ryan, his wife Brandie, their daughter Cecelia and new baby Wallace! The boys did very well on the 10 hour car drive and we had a great time while we were there. We went down to Tuscaloosa one day to see Ryan and Bran's old stomping grounds (University of Alabama). It's a beautiful campus. I had never been there before so it was nice to go. The boys even got to run on the same track Uncle Ryan used to run on.






And of course I spent lots of time cuddling my precious new nephew.

Mommy's birthday party

We were out of town for my actual birthday so the Saturday before Mom came over and we cooked out and had cake and ice cream with some neighbors and their kids. It was lots of fun for everyone!!
