Evan's Birthday Party

Evan had the most amazing turn out at his birthday party on sunday!
The party started @ 1pm and the first few to show up were some of my relatives that I haven't seen in awhile and it was very surprising! Even though I invited everyone on my facebook account that lived in the area, I found that the people I thought wouldn't come-came and the people I thought would come- didn't. Weird huh?
Anyway... we started out with hot dogs and burgers on the grill, tapped the root beer keg and then all the kids started swimming in Evan's new pool that we got him.  We had water balloon fights, squirt gun fights, pirate sword fights, and we played hillbilly horseshoe and cornhole, then we all got into a silly string fight in the front yard (that uncle brad gifted). We opened all presents and had cake.
I made Evan a pirate ship cake! It turned out pretty detailed and the moistest cake I've had in awhile!
We finished up with a pinata and wined down with more swimming.
After some poeple left and more people came, Evan opened more gifts and we all went inside out of the hot weather (it was about 92* allday). I think I turned on the A/C about an hour into the party.
It was nice to have all the Graham family there too, it's been awhile since the 'rents and grand'rents have seen Evan, unfourtunately.
Everyone left but Heather, Trent and the kids which was nice cause it got us a chance to visit. After a couple hours of no one else showing up I decided to start picking up the back yard. Wes had mentioned that this was the busiest party he has ever hosted and he wondered if he even was able to say hi to anyone....I just laughed!
Wait until next year...

Evan's turning 3 !!!!!!

So we are a little behind on blogging but the girls have insired me yet again to update it regularly!
We are getting ready to celebrate Evan's third birthday with a Pirate Pool Party! We are hosting it on a sunday, which is wierd I know but it's the only day I know nobody has to work. And it looks like we're going to have good weather too!! My mom and I have been hard at work for weeks finding all the right party favors to do the job! Evan just loves pirates ever since him and his Papa Tom have talked about it and we had a Pirate themed raft for raft-o-ramma this year. So ARGGG it is! I can't wait to post pics afterwards.

We had some amazing pictures taken in June from a good friend Ashley. I will attach some to preview soon. You need to have her do them, they are awesome!!

Last night me and the girls got together for some wine and helped Ashley sort through some things and clothes for a garage sale she is having this weekend. It was so nice to be out with the girls again.
I wish I could do it more, but they seem to be into having more kids and I just can't get in on those discussions because I don't have the connection with pregnancies like they do.... (sigh). That is a whole other issue though.
