Okay, so I'm waaaayyy behind on posting anything and I have so many things to share.  It's 9pm right this very second, so we'll see how far I get:)  First up, the Friday before we left for KY (so the 18th, I think) Westen's preschool celebrated a Daddy Day.  Dads only were invited to come into the classroom to interact and participate in some activities with their kids.  I love that they do that:)  Austin and Westen made a tie together, Westen shaved Austin's face with cool whip, they traced their shoes and compared foot sizes, and more.  Anyway, I mentioned to Westen that morning that maybe he'd want to dress nice (meaning just not running shorts) and he insisted that he wear a tie and white shirt because that's what Daddy wore!  He wore it proudly all day at school and him and Austin were the only ones there wearing them.  I thought it was so sweet!  Here he was that morning...

So, two days later the boys and I left for a week trip to KY.  They did great on the flight and were so excited to get there.  I'd say this was one of our most fun KY trips.  Julie and her kids were out of school so we got to spend a lot of time with them.  Daniel got to come up for the Memorial Day weekend and had his girls all weekend too.  Really, it was awesome!  The only thing missing was my husband.  And as much fun as I had, I was wishing he were with me everyday.  Regardless, I took quite a lot of photos, so I won't try to share them all, but I will share my favorites.  And, for the most part, I'll let them do the talking...

The boys LOVE going to the park and Mamaw knows it, so it was one of the first things we did...

Think Baron was enjoying himself???

I love that picture of Ryan!  A genuine smile on that sweet face:)  Man, I love that kid!!!

Because big kids can enjoy the park too;)

Baron wasn't overly friendly to many people while we were there, but he was handing out kisses this day, it seems...

And Westen made a new best friend...

And Baron did too...

The boys took many rides with Papaw which has become a regular request with every visit now...

Baron took a guitar lesson from Uncle Daniel...

Westen and Josie fought off all the bad guys in Mamaw's and Papaws's yard using their super soakers...

The boys just really had so much fun with their cousins, aunts, uncles, Mamaw, and Papaw...

Also, while I was in my Ole Ky Home, I turned the big 3-0!!!  Austin sent me my favorite cake of all time - Banana Dream- from TooJays which was super thoughtful (I'll tell you what else he got me in another post coming soon:) and that night, Mom and Julie threw me a party!  I thought it was just my family coming, but they invited some of my friends from high school that I keep in touch with too!  It was so thoughtful and sweet and I enjoyed myself thoroughly! Honestly, it's hard when I go home to drive around making trips to visit people that I really want to see while I'm home... so when I can see everyone at once, it makes my trip that much more easy and enjoyable:)  Thank you Mom for putting it together, and thank you Julie for once again opening your home for another party for us.  I guess I should say, thank you Dan too!  Julie mentioned a "small" get-together and didn't take into account the 18 kids that would be there - 10 of those 18 being around 5 years old and under!!!  Oh My Babies and Toddlers!!!  Anyway, here's some pics from that night...

The two stooges...And before you say anything Julie, OMG, it's NBD!!

My nieces are growing up entirely too fast!!!  Boyfriends, facebooks, and more!  I can't handle it all:)

Me, Krystie, and that sweet Baby Jael!

Okay, so couldn't little Cruz and Westen be twins if they had the same color hair and eyes??  I think they look so much alike!  And that's my girl, Aurella whom I know if I lived closer I'd hang out with a lot:)

It was getting dark at this point, but we captured one picture of my friends that were in attendance.  From left to right, my BFF from high school - Kendra, another dear high school friend - Aurella, me, one of my dearest friends since middle school - Heidi, a tried and true friend I've known all my 30 years, Krystie, another sweet friend from middle and high school, Christin.   And Shorty down there is Heidi's little girl, Sadie:)

Me and My sister who loves me unconditionally...

My sweet Ryan

My tough big brother

And me and my boys!!  I know one was taken of me and my mom and dad, but it's not on my camera.  It must be one you said you were going to send to me, Mom!!

Overall, we had such a fantastic trip!  It was so fun for me and the boys too!  I'm pretty sure the boys think they own the place when they go there...

I know I still showed a ton of pictures and talked a lot, but oh well.  If you made it this far, you might as well see the last two pictures...

Love those guys!!!  I'm calling it a night!  It took an hour for those pictures to load, but it was a lot so not too bad.  Check back later this week for a post on Westen's end of the year preschool program and picnic, Sea World, and my birthday surprise:)  Have a great week!
