Gene is 30!

I'm running a little behind with my blogging but Gene turned 30 on Thursday! We gave him a gun safe and a cake then we took him out to eat before Gage's baseball game. We're having a party for him next weekend. The other pictures are from last weekend when Emery spent the night with us. We took her out to eat at Sumo's and she loved it. Whenever she's around it's more like having a baby doll with us. She's never bad or whines and she does what ever you tell her to do while she just sits around and looks cute. The only problem we have is getting her to leave the slide.

Happy Birthday Griffin

Griffin turned 6 on Sunday. We had his party at our house. Griffin wanted to have it at Bounce Around but after two years in a row I decided it was time for a change. So, we rented a bounce house and did a pirate theme. It turned out really cute and Griffin said it was "the greatest birthday he's ever had". He made out his own guest list and wanted to invite his whole kindergarten class but we were able to narrow it down to his closest friends and family. The only problem we had was with the cake. He just had to have the pirate ship cake, so after searching at 4 different stores we finally found one that had the kit to make it. I ordered the cake to be picked up on the day before the party and when we woke up on Sunday morning (party day) the cake had split into three pieces. I called the grocery store in a panic and luckily they were able to make us a new cake and we picked it up to make it back home about 5 minutes before the first guests arrived. So, moral of the story is no more fancy birthday cakes for us!

Go Gamecocks!

Against my better judgement, I took Gage and Griffin to the game Thursday, which means they didn't get in the bed until after midnight on a school night. We tried to leave the game early but they insisted we stay until the end. They were so good and were having so much fun that we let them talk us into staying. They even got up when I called them on Friday morning. We took them into the stadium early and they were able to talk to some of the players and I took their picture with Ryan Succop, which is my personal favorite on the team :) They can't wait until the Georgia game.
On Friday we went to Mallory's birthday party. Griffin's birthday is Sunday and it is sooo hard to believe that my baby is going to be 6!
