Ada's 3rd Birthday Party

Kinsley had the best time at Ada's birthday. Her party was given by her Mom and Dad (Jill and Zac) but was at her Drammie's house (Dianna). The backyard was perfect for the water party. Toys were set up, pools and slip and slides. The weather was great, since it was in the afternoon and friends and family were all over the place. Their family reminds me so much of our large family...all getting together and having a great time.

It was nice to sit and relax with Dianna and to know that we were done with Kids for the year! Sigh....

Kinsley on the slip and slide, aka, for her, walk and walk!

And more walking....

In the pool....

Pool fun with Ada's cousins.

Kinsley heading back to Mommy and Daddy! Don't get to far!

Hanging out in the pool again! She was loving being out in the water!

We had a huge cookout and we ate on our blankets in the backyard - which Kinsley just thought was the best, aside from drinking out of princess big girl cup!

Sprinkler fun, she has no idea, they were turning it on - hehe

But then she figures it out! R-U-N

Staying to the outside edge of the sprinkler....Who would want to get wet????

Out with the bubbles....

Kinsley was having a blast!

The party went crazy when Chris got the water guns out and the big kids and adults started having a water fight. Gregg told Kinsley to pour water on Me with a cup he was drinking from and dang that girl, if she did not have an accurate aim. She soaked my front...while I was standing up telling everyone and getting on to Gregg...She filled up her cup again and did the back of me....With my pants being white and a bit see-through...I decided we should leave....It was a bit chilly for me....heheh

Here are Ada and Kinsley having a great time at the party!

We had a great time and it was one of the best birthday parties we had attended in a while- fun for all ages!!

Gregg's College Graduation Party

HE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!

We were super excited to find out, that Gregg got his degree! After many years of working hard and determination - he finished! We will be attending graduation in a couple of weeks where we are making him walk!!! But we wanted to celebrate the day by having all of our friends over to share in his accomplishments! He of course, wanted it low key and not a big deal...We compromised for a Big CookOut! It was a perfect day and I was so glad to see all of our family and friends sharing in our excitement! WAY TO GO!

Tons of our food! Mom and Dad helped so much with the cooking. We could not have fed over 65 people without them! Thanks!!!!

Kinsley was loving all the people over and getting party! But mostly, she sure loves her DADDY!!

The party is over and Kinsley decides instead of helping clean up, she will eat some more!Mommy and Kinsley bought Daddy lots of presents quite some time ago - we kept it a secret for 4 months!!!!

Gregg got his New X-Box 360, that he has been dreaming of - since forever!
Extra controller and tons of accessories to make the console complete!

ROCK BAND!!!! We were all excited about this one!

So we got the house cleaned and back in order and then we put Kinsley to bed and ROCKED OUT! Gregg was the best at drums, but Joe was a close second!

Rachie and I were on vocals (um scary) but we had a great time!

Robby played the guitar, which he was an expert at - of course!

Rock on, Daddy!

The next morning, we were still rocking out - Kinsley wanted to give it a try and she loved it!
