On Saturday, after Cayce and the girls got back from their Lowe's workshop, we headed to one of my best friend's parents house for a little birthday party. I have known Carl since middle school. He was the first friend I made on the first day. I was in 7th grade and he was in 8th. We had JROTC together in high school, and we were always called the bopsy twins because we were pretty much inseperable. He is my brother. The last time I seen him was in 2010 when I was pregnant with Ariana and Sammy was a baby. He took his uncle role very seriously and still does. He went off to war and got discharged and now suffers from PTSD. Saturday was the first time I have seen him in 4 years and I got to meet his family. The funny thing is, that right when he walked into my home, we acted like the past 4 years never happened and we went back to our old ways of cutting up an laughing. He loves the girls and they were happy to have another uncle.
Right when we got to his house, we got to eat. Samantha had hotdogs and Ariana had a hamburger. Addy had hotdogs and fruit, which Carl joked that Addy was definitely his niece because she was stuffing fruit in her mouth, and Carl was eating it right off the platter.
Her mouth was stuffed with big juicy strawberries.

Cake!!!
Singing Happy Birthday!
After everyone got their cake, ice cream and brownies, all the kids and Carl, and Kim went outside to let the kids swim in the pool and play with water sprayers. It was so much fun. Cayce and I got soaked, and the girls LOVED it.
We had to restrain her from diving face first into the kiddie pool

The kids all had a great day, and was worn out after they got to build the craft. They have never volunteered to go to bed on their own. I NEED MORE DAYS LIKE THIS!!!!
