Number 1

Well, its been a busy couple of weekends!! Owens was a lucky boy and got to celebrate his Birthday two weekends in a row!! The weekend of his birthday we spent up with Joe, Heather and Family. We were invited to come and attend Kendall's recital and have a belated birthday celebration for her with all the Grandparents and rest of the Hurley/Delaney Family! We cruised up on Friday evening and enjoyed a nice dinner at the Hurley's. Saturday morning we headed to the hotel pool before we attended Kendal's recital. I was a little hesitant having to bring Owen but he did incredibly well. He was so excited by all the lights, sounds and tiny dancers!! That evening we enjoyed another great dinner and a small birthday celebration for Kendall. Grace and Kendall played together like two peas in a pod. I think they were both enjoying the sisterly relationship! It was SO cute to see them interact! The next day after all the Grandparents had gone we got to have some one on one time with Joe and Heather which was WAY overdue! It is so hard to have such good friends so far away! We enjoyed some lunch and then brought on the birthday cake for Owen!! As you can see from the slide show below he really got into it even though he was a little hesitant at first! It was a really special celebration and a wonderful weekend had by the whole King Family!!!
June 29th
Today we had Owen's official birthday party/open house with family and friends. We were expecting quite a big turnout and I was so worried about the weather all week long. Forecast called for a nice 70+ degree day with some occasional showers more toward the evening. Well, awakening to a beautiful morning I was psyched, however, not for long. We ended up with big gray clouds looming and off and on showers all day! With 20+ adults and 15+ kids I was a little worried if our house could handle it! Turns out there was nothing to worry about. All the kids were so well behaved and even though it made for limited space it all worked out just fine!! It was a great party and good to have everyone here to celebrate such a wonderful occasion! Owen had a blast with Grandparents, family and friends, I don't think he was set down all day long! When it came to cake time he was a pro and dug right in!
Later on that afternoon was the neighborhood 4th of July Doll and Buggy parade set up by a neighborhood Grandma!! Ended up that only a handful of us participated at the last minute but turned out to be a fun time anyhow! Better luck next year I guess! Grace got a first place ribbon for being the most patriotic with her decorated stroller and Nicki doll!
It turned out to be a wonderful day despite the weather!!
