Celebrations.

My family and friends sure know how to celebrate a birthday. And guess what?! I still have a GNO (Girls Night Out) in my honor on Thursday night with my fabulous friends from church! Last Wednesday, Wes' Brothers and their wives hosted a little dinner party complete with delicious guacamole, barbecue, salad, and a Cold Stone cake (thanks, wes, for sacrificing your desires and getting a cookie dough one!). Reese spent most of the evening jumping on the trampoline with her big cousins; it was the perfect birthday night. 

Wes got off a bit early on Friday, and we got to Conway in time for Friday Night Pizza at ZaZa's. My brother is in town for a while this summer teaching at Arkansas Governors School, so we enjoyed lots of time with him throughout the weekend. Saturday lunch time was a huge birthday celebration for five in my family. Uncle Buzz, Aunt Cathie, Allen, my mom, and I all have birthdays somewhat around each other, and it was quite the birthday meal and party for us. 

Oh, and that's not all. We got back home Sunday afternoon, and Wes and I left Reese with a sitter while we met some friends at Ruth's Chris for a fabulous birthday dinner. Becca, Daniel, and I all have birthdays within a week, so that's definitely a reason to have a fancy dinner date. 

Besides the celebrating, we have endured one weird night of very limited sleep for Reese while in Conway, gone swimming a few times, and talked about house options and baby names for hours and hours. We pray decisions are made SOON. The house thing must be decided soon, and the name must be determined in about 2 months. CRAZY! Enjoy our week in pictures.

I'm so in love with her, and I feel so blessed to get to call her daughter.

Loving our time in what could be the last visit to 6 Meadowbrook Drive. Don't let me get emotional.

Pool time tonight.

She LOVES the independence she has in the puddle jumper. Should have tried it earlier, but I'm so glad we had it in our stash. She still wants Momma to "hold please" which I don't mind, but her smile when she forgets I'm not holding her and she finds herself floating and kicking is priceless.
