Jake Turns 6!


Jake celebrated his 6th birthday with a trip to Nascar Speedpark! He had a great time racing cars with his Daddy, playing mini-golf and getting wet on the bumper boats. He got some great presents for the big day including a rocket launcher and a nerf dart board. But we all agree that he enjoyed the trip to the speedpark the best. I even tried to persuade the people at the park to let him drive in the bigger cars since it was his birthday, but his feet wouldn't reach the pedals. Guess that will have to wait until his 7th birthday!

Happy Mother's Day


My boys treated me to a wonderful Mother's Day this year...camping in a cabin in Boone, NC. We were able to go with two other families with kids their age and everyone had a great time. We especially enjoyed the nights around the campfire making smores. The highlight of the camping trip for the kids was trout fishing. Jake caught a nice big fish that we were able to have skinned and take home to eat! Of course it was at a trout farm where the fish were lined up waiting to be caught, but the kids really enjoyed it and the fish was delicious!

The real treat for the Moms was on Sunday morning when we got to sit and relax while the hubbies made and served us pancakes :)
Also, on Sunday we went for a nice long hike around Price Lake which was a lot of fun. Dylan of course got to ride in style high up on Bri's back.

A few days before, Dylan's preschool treated me to a Mother's Day brunch and he made me a cute flowerpot. Jake made me a tile handprint at his school and a wonderful homemade card.
