Birthday Parties!

In the last few weeks, we’ve enjoyed going to a few birthday parties!  We celebrated Kaelyn and Shae’s 5th birthday party at Willow Bend mall, where Sean loves to play…when it’s not too busy:)  We enjoyed Chick-fil-a and pink cupcakes as well!  Sean’s favorite!

Sean also enjoyed going to Jackson’s 2nd birthday party, which was a “Dump Truck” theme!  He had fun playing in the dirt and getting to see a real excavator that stopped by the party!  Sean was a little startled by it, but it hasn’t deterred him from being fascinated in every truck he sees!  What a fun weekend of birthday parties!

 

At Willow Bend Mall, checking things out first:)

Daddy’s Day!

On Father’s Day, Jim and Sean enjoyed a pancake/waffle breakfast together!  Sean loves when daddy sits at his “little table”:)  After breakfast, we couldn’t wait to give daddy his Father’s Day gifts.  Especially the gift Sean made him at school!  After church, we took Jim out for lunch and dessert!  We had a great weekend celebrating our wonderful daddy!  We love you Jim and appreciate all you do!

8th Anniversary

Can’t believe Jim and I have been married for 8 years!!!  We dated 8 and now married for 8…16 years…WOW!  We are getting old!!  The weekend before our anniversary Jim and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner together at a French restaurant called St. Martin’s.  The food was awesome, and we had the best time talking and not being interrupted by our precious little Sean Wheeler:)  After dinner we met up with a co-worker of Jim’s and his sweet wife for some adult time, that was much needed.  Our actual anniversary night was pretty low key, with me picking up dinner at one of our favorites, Market Street.  Sean also got to do a little celebrating, with his very own chocolate, chocolate cupcake.  He was SO excited!  He definitely was the highlight of our anniversary evening together!

 

A very blurry pic of hubby and I at dinner…

Seaner so happy about his cupcake!

Memorial Day Weekend!

We had a great Memorial Day weekend playing a little golf, splashing around in the backyard, eating good food and hanging out with friends.  What a special day it is for us Americans, to remember those who have fought for our freedom!  “I won’t forget the men who died, that gave that right to me!”   Proud to be an American!
