Two Birthday's in one day!

Well a few weekends ago, Mother's Day weekend to be exact. We were invited to 2 birthday parties on the same day. Luckily they were at different times. The first was for our friend Jaime's little boy Aiden, he turned 1. Aiden's story is an awesome story, he started off as an embryo made by another couple...who was frozen indefinitely. Until this couple found out they could adopt out their embryos. Jaime and her husband adopted their little embryo and he was born in May of 2008! Just a side note...Jaime is now pregnant with Aiden's sister, his sister embryo!

So we started off at Aiden's party, which my girls LOVE Ms. Jaime's house...see Jaime has horses. We fed her horses and played with bubbles and opened gifts. Here are a few pictures from our time there (sorry no pictures of Aiden, I didn't know if his parents would approve):

We left Aiden's party and headed to Seth's. Seth is Ms. Neva's grandson. He was turning 3! Guess what kind of party Seth was having.....yep.....a barnyard party. His grandparents live on a farm and show horses. It rained the first hour and a half we were there, but we still had a great time. The party was in the barn itself, so the kids fed and pet the horses in between games. Here are a few pictures of the party.


As you can see the girls had a blast! We were tired and wet by the time we got home, but it will always be a day to remember.

Cinco de Mayo at Work

Hola! Ok, so I'm up for any reason to have a party. I am a very social person. So last week I thought....we should have a Cinco de Mayo party at work! Why not? So I sent the email out and right now our 2 fridges are bursting with food! I have the best group of guys (and guy's wives), 40 of them! It's the perfect situation...I'm the mothering/coordinating/organizing type and they are, well they are men! Not to worry, no margaritas on the job...although we did think about it! haha

So at 11:00 we will head back and lay all the food out in our new kitchen, make our plates and gather around our 42' lcd (another idea I had) in the breakroom. Then when it's all over, I'll have to guilt them into cleaning up...but that's ok...they'll do it.
