My 30th Birthday

I'm sad to say that yes, I did turn 30 this year! I think that you always joke and say, "I'm getting soooo old", but it seems you don't truly feel old until you hit the 30 mark! HA! This year I think I actually feel it! It may be bc. I just had a baby 4 months ago and my body will never be the same, or bc. I haven't really been able to exercise in who knows when, or simply bc. my body is just getting old?!?! Anyways, it is here to stay so I guess I should embrace it all! I have had several people tell me that your 30's are the best times of your life.....so bring it on! Anyways......now that I have felt sorry for myself, here are some pics from the weekend of my birthday. Some of my closest friends and I went out to Chaucer's for some great sushi and fun! Also, my parents took E for the night so we could have fun with everyone, stay up late and sleep in! Thanks GiGi and Papa.....I love those nights! I also got some great gifts, a spa gift card from the girls, a Mani, Pedi, and Starbucks gift card from my hubby, some bath and body works from Anna and Brett, Shoes from my parents, and a great picture frame and Taco Bueno gift card from Amo. It was a great 30th, and I am so glad I had lots of friends to share it with! Thanks!!

Landry's Birthday Party

August the 14th was, Ryan's niece, Landry's 7th birthday. She had a pool party with all her friends and family this year in Bridgeport. We had pizza and some yummy cupcakes. Everyone had fun swimming, but Eli and I just observed!

Here we are enjoying the festivities.....

Opening presents and enjoying the cupcakes....

Random cute pics

Here are some pics that we took of our sweet boy. We were trying to get a good shot for the picture that we submitted for his baby dedication at church this past week (pics soon to come). He was being a little ham and was giving us some sweet faces, so I though I would share our joy!In every picture is looks like he is trying to say something.....

What's up?

I love this one, its the "what can I get away with" look!...HA!!

Awe man.....another picture.....

Ok, here is your smile!

August-Denise's House

Before this school year started, we took a weekend trip to visit some of Ryan's family in Whitney. We always have a great time hanging out with his sister and the boys. Colton is a junior this year and Dillon will be in 8th grade. Every time we visit, Denise is known for making Ryan cookies, and this time she made at least 5 dozen! I didn't get a pic, but you should have seen all the cookies....mmm they were so good! We had a blast and had plenty to do! Here are some pics of us riding around, causing trouble!

Ryan in Greg's hunting buggy...so goofy

A visit from Aunt KK and Susan

August started out great with a visit from Aunt KK and Susan. They finally got a break from work and came down from Tennessee to visit. We were all pretty excited since Kelly hadn't seen Eli since he was 2 wks old and Susan never had! We had a blast, shopping, uncle julios and the circus was in town so we got to go.....it was Eli's first circus trip!

lunch after church at our favorite....Uncle Julios

Ready for the Circus!

Papa and Eli

The Elephants, my favorite part!

Big boy in the bumbo and tummy time...

A couple of weeks ago we got out the bumbo seat and Eli tried it out! He was a little shaky in it and I don't think he is totally ready for it yet, but we got some cute pics and we wanted to share them. Here is our big boy, I love those cute toes!

Eli is not a huge fan of tummy time off of his boppy pillow but this was a good day for him, he was so curious.
