Birthday Weekend!

We had a great weekend! On Saturday I met my friend Mollie for an 18 mile run for our Chicago Marathon training. We had a great run and the weather was perfect...hopefully we get that lucky on race day! Then that afternoon our friends Sunita, Aaron and Caden stopped by to visit as they were on their way up to Ogden for a wedding reception. It was good to catch up with them and we're so anxious for Caden to be a big brother to their new little boy that will be arriving in October! Then Andy, Brady and I met our great friends the Waters (Jon, Jenn, Jackson & Joel), the Dillingers (Travis, Ashley and Tessa) and the Fuhrmans (Bryce, Meggie and Luke) at Legends in Pleasant Hill for a little pre-birthday dinner celebration to mark me turning the big 3-0...yikes! Andy (with some help from Ashley) decorated our reserved tables with 2 beautiful bouquets of yellow and red roses and some balloons! It was a great dinner but I also think the restaurant was ready for our brood to leave! It just gets to crazy with our 5 kids! Ha ha! After dinner everyone came back to our place for some socializing and some great ice cream cake from DQ. Then on Sunday we did some much needed errands to get ready for our Vegas trip! We then headed to West Des Moines to celebrate our nephew Jaxson's 3rd birthday. It's so hard to believe he's 3 already! Time flies! He's getting to be such a big boy and it's been so fun to watch him grow up. Happy Birthday Jaxson!!!
