not slowing down

Besides a dinner out tomorrow with a friend, I think my birthday celebrations are coming to an end.
Thursday (my birthday) was just a normal day out running errands and grocery shopping with all my boys, not their favorite thing to be doing either was it mine, but we survived it....barely. That night we went out to dinner, made a few more stops and had a much more enjoyable time together. Friday was spent all day cleaning getting ready for the party at my house once everyone arrived after work.
We had grilled pizza's and salad, it was so delicious!
 Cupcakes for dessert with extra frosting!
 We  had to eat in shifts because everyone's pizza's couldn't cook at the same time, but it all worked out.
 The girls enjoying their meal.
Tucker kept the boys busy playing football 
and swinging with Luke.
After presents everyone ended up outside to finally enjoy some beautiful weather.
It didn't take long before the motorcycle, bikes, basketballs were all out and everyone was taking their turns. 
The sunshine felt so good, nobody was complaining. 
Ryan's been begging for awhile now to learn how to ride without training wheels but life was too crazy there for a time, so finally he got his wish.  The training wheels came off and we all took turns helping him learn.  It didn't take long and he was doing it all on his own!  Go Ryan Go!
Almost the whole family followed him for his first ride around the circle, he even had to stop and get Ash so he could show her what he could finally do.  She was so excited for him and he was so proud to show her. Are they just not the cutest?
There was no resting once the weekend arrived.  We made two trips down to the pool, Heath helped Matt shop for a Four Wheeler,  we made it to church, I spent the day shopping with my sister and Hailey, Heath took the boys to watch Kung Fu Panda 2, washed vehicles, mowed the lawn and we cleaned up the camper to get it ready for camping and now it's Monday.
Thanks everyone for celebrating with me!
