Playing "catch-up"....Jen's Birthday May 23rd

So Jen turned "the big three zero" this year.....so I wanted to make it special, something we would remember. I wasn't sure I would be able to pull it off but thanks to a bunch of good friends and family members I successfully pulled off a surprise party for her. Jen had been bugging me all week to get something planned on the night of her birthday, in fact she got really mad at me for spending so much time on the computer the few days before (of course I couldn't tell her why), I told her that I called most everyone that I could think of and they all already had plans so maybe the following weekend would be better but we could still go to dinner and a movie if she wanted to. Anyhow, we showed up at the go cart racing place and she was so surprised to find a room full of friends as well as her Brother and sister along with their spouses.

Speed Street for some go cart racing and games!
(please no comments on picture quality, we know they suck)

Thanks to all those who came to celebrate with us and helped pull off the surprise!

Playing "catch-up"....End of school, Kindergarten Recital

Okay....let me preface this one with a note that the day of the Kindergarten recital was also "Crazy hair day" for the end of school days spirit week. Brody wanted a mohawk (again) so since his hair had grown out a little we gave him one......needless to say, we didn't have time before the recital to get rid of the mohawk and make it all uniform in length...so...here he is, a cross between Chuck Lidell (UFC fighter) and a missionary at his kindergarten recital.

Playing "catch-up"....Mothers day

As Jen mentioned on an earlier post, it's been a while since we have made posts so we are playing catch up.

Here are some pictures from mothers day,
Traditional breakfast in bed with the tray that I made for "mom" when we first got married

The kids all had things they made in school etc...

So I know it has been a while since we have posted and this posting is at the end of Baylee's 2nd grade school year. They had a party and there is a cute kid that likes Baylee and I told him to stand next to her. Actually, I told him to put his arm around her and he tried but Baylee ran away. So this is the pose I got after she came back from running away. His name is Trey and I think he is the tallest kid in 2nd grade and Baylee is one of the smallest.
