Just in case you were wondering, it was delicious!

 Happy, happy birthday sweet boy!

 Guess everyone thought he was a monkey!

While we all celebrated, Miss Lexi got her first BIG GIRL haircut.  I like her better all fuzzy.

Girls' Night!

While the boys went to a sleep over at the Crawdad's baseball stadium, Amanda and I took our girls to have pedicures and out for dinner.  During dinner, the girls decided they wanted to spend the night together, so Amanda took one for the team and offered to keep them.  Little did she know that they would stay up past midnight giggling and playing.  Bless her!  I enjoyed a nice, quiet evening at home and was in bed by 10:15.

 Dinner at Zaxby's

Matching PJs for the sleep over!

August Adventures - it's a long one

Lots of things have been happening in August, and we're only half way through.

Harris moved to the 4/5 year old classroom

 Cara moved to the Older 3s classroom.

And Nick is officially a 2nd grader with Mrs. Brown!

Nick also go to go flying for the first time with his Boy Scout Troop.  My dad has already offered to pay for his to go to flight school when he gets older if it is something he wants to do.

While Nick was flying, Mom, Cara, and I went shopping for Cara's dance supplies.  Isn't she precious?

Later that day, we helped several friends celebrate their birthdays.  First up was Ben's 8th birthday at Hickory Dickory Dock.

Next we headed over to celebrate Lauren's 5th birthday!  Nick really enjoyed riding Lauren's pink John Deere tractor!

 Happy Birthday Lauren!!!

Speaking of birthday parties, I found these pictures from a party we had in June.  Better late than never...

Reunion Day with the Moose's!

And here are some random August pictures I found on my iPad.
