Birthday Mayhem Part 2

For F's 5th bday we celebrated early by visiting Prescott for a classic Corvette show. He had no idea. As we walked down the street he saw one, then two, then three Corvettes. He began shaking with excitement and glee as he noticed Covettes lining both sides and the middle of a 3 downtown streets. He was thrilled with his early present. The pictures say it all.



Hmm. What's that I see?



How does that work?


B and my favorite. I like the old Stingrays too. We are not really Corvette-philes, but F has taught us to appreciate them.

Now, let me tell you about my car....

F's favorite (aside from the Stingrays). He liked the way it opened up.

He thought this one looked like Ramon, from Cars.

On Oct 4th, we had a very simple friend party at a nearby park. Z & F each had a small group of friends come. They played happily on the equipment and splashed in the spray pad. This party was by far the easiest and most laid back party we've had yet for Z & F. O even enjoyed himself.

As I look back over the last almost 8 years, I am so thankful and happy with how blessed my life has been. My children are amazing. They have taught me lessons, I would never learned without them. I have a compassionate and loving husband, who encourages me to be my best. I have supportive and caring friends. The past 8 years have not always been easy, especially with all the moves we've made, but I have always been blessed at each point along the way.

  2. I'm so glad the party went well. Sam's 2nd was a nightmare. Makes me not want to do another one. And I'm glad you know you're blessed! I know I'm blessed to have you in my life. =) Love you!

  5. Wouldn't Blaine have been his hero in college?! F. would have gotten to ride around in one of those cool corvettes.

  6. I think he would have adored Blaine and his car.
