Caden's Basketball 8th Birthday Party

Caden was very opinionated this year regarding what he wanted to do for his birthday party.  We had his party at a local rec center, and the boys just played basketball. 

Working on the cake.

 

A few pics with the cake before we headed to the party. 

 

 

 

The only picture we took at the party.  Brian and I were busy the whole time supervising. 

 

After the party, I headed to the club for an Aloha tennis event.  It was so much fun to dress up silly and have some laughs while playing!  My team before the tennis started:  Amy Moore, Amy Timmerman, Holly Myers, Wendy Thomas, Laura, Carrie Miller, Hilary Baker, and Jenny Everett.  Hilary had ordered a shirt to match Jenny's, but Amazon didn't deliver it in time.  So she scrambled to put together a costume in the two hours before the party, and then Hilary and Jenny ended up winning best costume!

The next day was Annabelle's last soccer game of the season.

After the game, we headed over to the Darley's for a Kentucky Derby party.  It was such a fun night! Jenny Darley, Robyn Tilger, Hilary Baker, and Laura.

 

The kids ran around their house and played games in the backyard for hours!

 

The kids went roller skating for the first time the next afternoon at Annabelle's friend Belle's birthday party.

Later that night, I hosted a Covenant Auction RSVP Tennis party.  It was so much fun, but I was ready to keel over from exhaustion at this point in our weekend.  A pic after two hours of playing a 105 tennis game.  Back row:  Brooke Penley, Danielle Raindl, Jen Farrell, Hilary Baker, Megan Evans.  Front row: Laura, Lena Bryan, Cherry Shaw, Kerry Scott, Casey Schumacher, and Danielle Swann.
