actual b'day

I feel so behind in blogland these days.  July is a crazy month with lots of events: birthdays, our anniversary, and a couple weddings. It's all been lots of fun and helping the summer to cruise on by. Anyway, we had a great celebration on Lucy's actual birthday just with the family, so I thought I'd post a few pictures from that as well.





Lucy woke up to waffles with berries and whipped cream, bacon and hot chocolate, along with this sweet little birthday outfit and a few other little treats.

Her major request was that we go bowling.  We didn't know quite how to swing it with all the kiddos, but it was pretty successful.  The 3 babes just chilled (for the most part) in the strollers while we did a speed round of bowling.  I won by 4, 146 to 142.  I think Wii has helped my bowling game.













We also let Lucy pick out a kite at a local toy store and then want to a park to fly it and have a picnic.  It was a wonderful day.
