Good Times With Friends And A Birthday...

This is mainly going to be a picture post b.c we had a lot of good times with friends in mid August, and we celebrated a very special birthday as well-my mom's. :) Her birthday was Aug 14th, and that was the same day that Brant also celebrated his 1/2 birthday. :) Love time with friends and family, and am so thankful for both! :)

We took Braden to meet up with his buddies at Open Gym at JW Tumbles on Saturday morning. He loves playing with everyone and running around checking each area out. :) Caleb was a big fan of exploring too. :)

Caden found a toy that fit him perfectly..... Caroline and Braden walking down the ramp....Caroline was stacking her blocks very high. :) Swing time is great! :)
And of course Braden had such a fun time with Jon. He and Braden have literally become best buds (as they are in the same class at preschool), and literally see one another 5-7 days a week between various activities. We asked Braden a question the other day....... if he ever had another brother, what would he want his name to be? Braden answered with no hesitancy at all-"Jon". They are so cute together. :)We celebrated Mom's bday at BJ's Brewery with some scrumptous pizza...and of course a birthday Pizookie-YUM! :) Brant was chilling out at dinner..just taking Mimi's birthday all in. :) Braden was too busy eyeing the Pizookie and wondering when he was going to get some of it to even pay attention to the camera. :)
Happy Birthday Mom!! We love you! Man I LOVE this thing! :) I wonder if Mimi would notice if I did not let her have any on her bday? :) More fun that weekend included some good quality time with close girlfriends from college. Brant and I went and met them for lunch....and he loved getting to see his godmother Monica. :)
He was able to get some love from sweet Steph too. :) And last but definitely not least, we loved dinner with our friends the Harthcocks and Tyners...and the kids had a great time together too! :) Britt and Meredith were so sweet to have us all over for some awesome food and great company..and of course lots of laughs. :) The kids had a great time outside.....and Sophie was showing us her swinging skills. :)
What do you call a tee-ball and football mix? :) Drew was running all over the place. I bet he slept good that night. :) Come on Jack...this is how you do it. :)Meredith and Brant just hanging out.... Sweet Drew.... Jack was loving the slide.... Pretty Soph.....you look just like your mom! :) Jack found a toy he was pretty into. :)

Thank you guys so much for the fun at your casa! We loved it and cannot wait to do it again! :)
