Birthday Dinner

Darrin's Birthday Dinner was held at Mongolian Grill, a new restaurant in North Myrtle Beach. They have lots of raw, fresh meats and veggies, you make make your selections and they cook it for you on a huge round grill. Its a great concept, and they even had sushi, so I was VERY happy!

Darrin's Birthday!!!

Darrin's Birthday was July 22nd, and the girls and I decided to bake hime a cake. They did all the work, Victoria cracked the eggs, Lilly prepped the pans , they both ran the mixer and lcked the beaters and bowl. They were so proud! Then they blew up tons of balloons and we set them on the table along with the cake. We surprised him! They were so tickled. Here are some pictures.

Brittany, Lilly and Victoria.

We had a busy day going to Birthday Parties. The first was a Glam Jam for Sara. She turned 7. Her Momma, my friend Carrie, had a great party for her at her salon. Pictures to follow on a later post.

Then this afternoon was Brittany's party. Our neighbor and friend who also turned 7. She got a new bike, hence the evening bike ride! The weather has been so strange with this Tropical Storm hanging out over the ocean nearby that the sky has been the most beautiful color. I took some quick shots of the kids riding their bikes.

Gymnastics Practice at the Beach

Friday, July 18th, all the competitive gymnasts met at the beach for practice. They ran up and down the beach, and did a zillion back hand springs on the sand. It was such a beautiful day!

Lanie made Victoria into a mermaid.

Pool and Pizza Party

Our friends The Lowrie's came home from Michigan and the kids were dying to see each other, so we had everyone over for a play date, which turned into hot tubbing and pizza! So much fun! Spur of the moment parties are always the best.

Lanie, Evan, Victoria, Kenzie, Lilly and Brittany are having a great time!

Evan and Victoria have a "thing" going. They are 4. Kenzie likes to encourage them.

Victoria seems to end up next to Evan in every picture!

Kenzie then puts a baby in the picture. She's so bad!

Now Victoria is feeding the baby some pizza.
