Fun with friends downstate!

Last weekend was a busy one for the boys and I!  We made our way downstate on Friday for a pool party at my cousin Carmen's house with Julie (all the way from CA) and all six of her kids!  Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures because taking care of 3 little boys around a pool and in a new environment kept me too busy.  I think my Aunt got a few though, I'll add those when she posts them!  The boys and I moved on to Mason Friday night to visit with other friends, while my mom stayed the night with Aunt Sharon.  We are super thankful she was there with her because she had a scary emergency that was most likely caused by dehydration with these crazy extreme temps we've been having.  She is feeling better now though and getting ready for another move that mom will help out with this week!

Friday night the boys and I stayed in Mason with Kerry and her two boys (Colin & Jackson) and Amy and her oldest (Sean) came over too.  It was HOT but the boys had a blast playing on the trampoline and pool and making large messes, in general.

Saturday Amy and both boys came over and we had a little get together with Katy and her daughters and a surprise birthday party for Emily, who will be turning 6 while they are on vacation at their place on the Silver Lake Sand Dunes.  Since Emily was going to miss out on a birthday party with her friends from home, we figured she ought to be spoiled by 7 boys and her sister, not to mention it FINALLY gave us three girls a chance to finally buy some PINK! ;) 

The "good" pictures below are Amy's and the not so good ones at the end I took with my camera on my phone!

Colin and Brody, cruising:

Austin:
 
Austin always enjoys a good cupcake.  And by cupcake, I mean frosting.
 
I'm pretty sure that is the best photographic evidence of "the stink eye" that I've ever seen.  Could Jessica be any more adorable?

Emily making a wish and blowing out the candles! 
 
And Amy did a fantastic job getting a group shot! Kerry's boys are in the back row in the middle, Amy's boys are on the right, mine are on the left and Katy has the girls!
 
Funny how these two have never seen a trampoline before, yet they knew exactly what it was and what to do:
 
Best place to be on this hot day!
