Birthday Party Fun!





Have I mentioned the my kids love a good party? Bayley especially loves everything about a party...the cake, the atmosphere, the presents, the friends, etc. So this past weekend was just about the perfect weekend for Bayley. Friday night we drove up to Elijay, Georgia for my brother Spencer's 29th birthday party. It was a perfect evening filled with great food, great company and great news! The last present Spencer opened was the suprise announcement that Spencer and Leigh are expecting a baby in April! We are so excited for them! After spending the night at Spencer and Leigh's house, we drove home Saturday morning. Bayley had another birthday party to attend for one of her friends from school, so while Kendal and Trey tried to catch up on lost sleep from the night before Bayley and I attended the party. We completed the day with a nice swim together as a family and an early bedtime. Sunday was Stake Conference in Birmingham, so we made the short drive over there and enjoyed a nice meeting. It was a quick weekend but a fun one.


Our weekday nights are quickly filling up. Bayley has decided she wants to join the local swim team, so that will involve practice 2 nights a week. In addition to Kendal and Bayley's dance classes as well as youth nights at church, our nights are officially booked for the rest of the year. It's nice to be busy doing things that you enjoy, but there are many nights that Bayley comes home and complains that the days go by too quickly. I have told her that they never slow down and only seem to go quicker the older you get. I continue to train for the upcoming mini-marathon. I am going to try to run a couple of local 5K and 10K races to kind of gauge where I am at. My big goal is the finish, but I would love to be able to run the whole distance! We'll see. Here are a couple of pictures from the last week, hope you enjoy!

Sounds like a rockin party! We really wish we could have been there. We are all excited for Spencer and Leigh!!! You sound really busy with the kids.

It only gets worse as they get older. Kyle has football, golf, piano and scouts and would do more if I would only let him (mean me). Just wait until the two little guys have several activities each as well and you will quickly find yourself in the car from the time school is over until bedtime. It's crazy but I wouldn't want it any other way for them.
