Aidan turns EIGHT!

I can't believe our little boy is turning eight today! Where has the time gone? His friend Brady from school has a birthday three days after Aidan's, so his mom and I decided to do a joint birthday party for the two of them this past Friday. We invited all the boys from their class, and each of them invited a few extras. We hired Game Truck, which is a company that brings a huge truck filled with video games for the boys to play inside! So after pizza and cupcakes the boys piled in for an hour and a half. Plus Avery got to play with her friend Ryleigh, who is Brady's little sister. Everyone had a great time and slept great that night! Thank you Brady, Chase, Tate, Jamison, Ruben, Chad, Connor, Hayden, Andrew, Blake, Braden, Tyran, Trevor, and Caden for celebrating with us!

We celebrated this morning by letting Aidan open gifts before church, then we went to Babe's for lunch with Grammy before she flew home (thanks for a fun visit, Grammy!). Happy Birthday to our early rising, always smiling, sweet-toothed, competitive, inquisitive, goofy, huge-hearted Aidan! We are proud of you every day and are thankful God chose us to be your parents. We love you more than you will ever know :)

Sara's Shower

We went to a baby shower yesterday to celebrate my cousin Sara and her baby girl who is arriving next month! Tracey, Aunt Jeri, and my mom were the hostesses and it was a beautiful and fun shower. Anything is fun when you add Jolly girls to the mix :) Avery hunt out with Clara and they had such a good time together. I wish the two of them lived closer to each other because they are peas in a pod!

D.C. Trip

Daniel and I took a trip to Washington, D.C. over Easter weekend to see a friend and co-worker of Daniel's (who works in the D.C. office) get married! The wedding was beautiful and we had a great time touring the sites and hanging out with the PWC gang! Most of the cherry blossoms were gone but we did manage to see a few that were still in bloom. At the rehearsal dinner we got wanded by Secret Service because Michelle Obama was dining there! We never got to see her but it was still cool :) I also got to see a police-escorted motorcade outside our hotel but I'm not sure if Obama was part of it (no limousine, just SUV's).

My parents came to keep Aidan and Avery...they went with Jason and Kelly to see Pa and Gamma one day, then took the kids to Park Cities (the church we went when I was a kid) for Easter! Thanks Grammy and Papi :)

Bluebonnets!

My mom just flew in town to keep the kids while Daniel and I travel out of town for a wedding! After we picked up the kids from school today we drove to a great bluebonnet patch in Sachse and take our annual bluebonnet pictures. This time Griffin got to join in!
