Dillon's turning 4

click picture for more pictures
Dillon had his birthday party this morning with his "closest" friends. (The reason closest is in quotes is because these kids are his closest friends by force. ;) Their moms also stay at home, and I am very close to them, so the kids get to play often.) From the above picture, you would think that Dillon's party was a costume party. Well.....it was supposed to be an outdoor water party. I am a planner, so my cousin and I filled water balloons last night for over an hour. Today happened to be the only day this week to rain, so Dillon's outdoor water party turned out to be an indoor costume party. I also wanted Dillon to be able to pick his guest list, and I would try to have all those people come. One family on his list had to cancel at the last minute due to a stomach bug. Oh well, you can't plan everything.

Visiting Family and Friends!

We have been busy the past couple of weeks visiting our loved ones. The whole family went to Texas the first weekend in June to visit some friends. Then this past weekend Tommy had his college buddies visit. The kids and I went to Maryland to visit with my family, and we stayed from Friday until Wednesday. Wednesday morning we left my parents house and headed to Tommy's sisters and visited with Tommy's family. We headed back today so we could be home when Tommy got back from his business trip. He went to Germany for work from Sunday night until today. It has been hectic, but fun! The kids had a blast, but they were pretty exhausted by today. They slept almost the whole ride home from Virginia Beach (where Tommy's sister, Stephanie, lives). It is great to spend time with friends and family, but it is nice to be home.

Here are some highlights of our trip. If you want to see more click on the links under the pictures.
