Fun night out with the girls

LAURA :)

Tonight Laura came over.

She had dinner with us two weeks ago.

She came over tonight and we hung out again.

This precious girl I babysat when she was 7. This little one who came to my wedding.

In just over a week, we will be at hers. 

And I couldn't help but let the kids stay up an hour late and get one more piggy back ride from Laura Terrell. Before she becomes Laura Heiden.

Love her!

Way back Wednesday (a day early)

I had a friend send me this video.  It's blurry because she filmed the TV.

I was in second grade.

Taking it WAY back....

Jack is EIGHT

Ordinarily I would celebrate my birth for a month. But ever since Jack was born I have learned to share October.

I'm generous like that.

His birthday party was at the movies (Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day) and a playdate at home.

Since today is his actual birthday, we celebrated here today.

Lots of photobombs in these pics.

Birthday weekend Part 3

On Sunday of my birthday weekend, we had a Ranch Party.

Technically it wasn't part of my birthday celebration.

And technically it was a work party.

But it WAS my birthday weekend so I'm lumping it in as "part 3".

Lisa, one of my teachers, lives in Plano but owns a beautiful ranch in Blue Ridge.  We invited the whole staff to come out Sunday night and relax, eat, and play.  Relatively speaking, very few of us were able to come, but those of us who made it out to Blue Ridge didn't regret it! 

It was a beautiful night.  The kids had a great time.  The food was delicious.  It was a perfect way to end the weekend.
