Birthday Weekend

We had so much fun this weekend going to two very special birthdays. Mama's lifelong friend, Tara, turned 30 and her family celebrated with a surprise party at her house on Saturday. The boys thought they were super pimp as they were permitted to drink multiple juice boxes and sit on a swing. As Uncle Brendan always says - What up, gangsta?
It was very surreal for Mama to watch her children play at a house that she visited often as a child and teenager. She teared up watching her sons play with Owen Clement, the son of Melissa & Kyle - more longtime friends. But, of course, reality set in and Mama started screaming at the boys to get the hell out of Mr. Ambrose's water fountain and to stop beating the crap out of the pinata. Annnnnnd sentimental moment: over.
On Sunday we went to another birthday party for our bestest friend, Elliana! She is 4 and invited us to the pool. Mama got tired of trying to hold Logan and rescue Sawyer who apparently thinks he is a dolphin and can breathe underwater. We went back to Elli's house and had fun in her pool.....
Jesus, Dylan. Are we so lazy that we have to place a ride-on toy in the pool?
Mama loves this picture of Luccas, Sawyer and Elliana. It is wonderful to see my own children have friends they have already known their whole lives. We are lucky that so many wonderful people care for our kids. Of course, this could bite us all in the ass, when in 10 years Sawyer asks Elliana to be his girlfriend and she says, "Remember that time you ate ribs at my house and got BBQ sauce all over your bare chest? Yeah.....we are so not happening."
