Happy Halloween!

Pace has had a great first Halloween. We met her friend Lanie who dressed up as a Ladybug for lunch and the two got a lot of attention! We also ran into her friend Jack at lunch and he was dressing up as a shark. They were a cute crew for sure! Her Daddy came home early to celebrate with her and she was pooped from all the activity. I have posted two new videos...enjoy!

Surprise!! Eric was definitely caught off guard with the big surprise party. The official party took place on Friday, October 5th. Luckily, I had a lot of help and the evening was a success. The Davis' came over first thing that morning so that I could get some help with Pace and some help in setting up. Eric's dad helped me fill tiki torches, set up tables, etc and we were doing all of this in the pouring down rain! I just knew the evening would be a washout!

Luckily, the rain held off and I was able to get a bigger tent just in case. Although the tent did not get set up until about 15 minutes before the start of the party, it all came together. It was humid and muggy, but at least no rain. Everyone seemed to enjoy the BBQ, the band and the beer (not necessarily in that order!) and we had a lot of good friends come to support Eric. We even had a surprise guest...Kenny Chesney. Well, not quite the real thing but a lifesize cutout made an appearance in honor of the occasion. My family came later that day to help with the final preparations and then Pat Dunn was my diversion for Eric. It was hectic and busy, but a lot of fun.

Happy 30th Birthday! Enjoy the pictures...sorry they always seem to crop too far to the right, but not sure how to fix that.

Eric is officially the big 3-0! We celebrated last night with a cookout and despite the rain it was a lot of fun. Kevin and Linda Lokey and their two children Collier and Aiden came to help us celebrate. We ate a lot and even saved room for some of the 9 layer chocolate cake! Eric actually believed that Pace and I baked the cake and was quite impressed. Sugarbakers did a much better job than I ever could!

It is still raining over here and hope it will clear out soon. Eric is fishing in a big tournament this weekend to benefit cystic fibrosis. We are going to a silent auction tomorrow night and then to a big dinner on Saturday night. I am actually having a social life this week. The Davis' will be coming in from Albany for the weekend to see Eric for his birthday and to babysit Pace so that we can go to the dinner.

Enjoy the pictures of the birthday and I will update again in a day or two!

Happy 30th Birthday to Eric today! Pace is excited to be throwing a party for her Daddy tonight. We are having our friends (The Lokeys) over for dinner and we are going to celebrate Eric's big day. Pace and I have been cooking all morning. We were going to bake a cake, but when Eric said he wanted a 10 layer cake we figured we better order one. We are going to pick it up when she wakes up from her nap.

Yesterday, Pace and I met her friends Jack and Brody down by the Pier for some lunch. A lunch with a 7 month old, an 8 month old and a 1 year old is not as relaxing as you might think it to be! The three little monkeys kept us busy and we enjoyed a stroll down by the ocean after lunch. Rain showers cut the day short, but Pace was ready for a nap anyway. I have included some video of her and her friend Jack (8 months old) down by the water.

That is about all I have time for now since we have a party to get ready for! Pace and I will put some pictures on the blog later this week of all of the festivities!
