Busy weeks!

Okay, I know it's been forever since I've blogged. SORRY! I've been consumed these last few weeks planning a birthday party for Royce and also busy working. Hopefully I'll get my pictures downloaded soon so I can post them too. First things first:

Isaac tried cracking his head open AGAIN. Luckily Royce's mom was here (Sandy is a nurse) and was able to tell that he was fine AGAIN. This time he pulled the fireplace screen down over him and sliced his head in the exact same spot the last ER run was from. Honestly, the exact same spot. This one didn't swell as bad, but it did cut it open, and the swelling is much harder lasting longer. BOYS.

Next was planning Royce's 30th birthday party. The party was great. A nice-sized gathering with all guests wearing lovely cowboy themed clothing to make fun of Royce's childhood pictures of him naked on a spring-horse, showing his cattle (dressed this time), etc. It was a lot of fun. Thank you to those of you who were able to make it! Royce and I appreciate you all so much.

Yesterday was Royce's actual birthday. I was painting in WaKeeney all day but made it back to town for Royce to grill his own birthday dinner (he wanted to!) so we ate steaks and baked potatoes. Yum! Then Royce and Chloe had a sports class together at the Rec center. Isaac and I went to watch but we won't be doing that anymore. It was torture for Isaac to have to watch on the sidelines while Royce and Chloe played soccer with the other kids. It'll just be Daddy/Chloe time from now on. Chloe had a blast seeing all the kids there and kicking the soccer ball. So cute.

After class we came home and put Mr. Isaac to bed. He was a big-time grump yesterday. So after he was in bed we cut Royce's birthday cake (lemon bundt, as always!) and Chloe and I sang to Royce. I couldn't find my regular birthday candles so he just got the "3" from Chloe's last birthday:) It was enough. Then Royce opened his gifts and we had a nice night even though the little grump missed the fun. That's okay, Isaac has his birthday next so he'll get his fun. But really all that means is another party I have to plan! At least this one doesn't have to be kept secret.

Okay, I'll try to get pictures downloaded soon and will post them. Our friends from KC Brian, Courtney, and Emma are coming this weekend as they had a change of plans and couldn't come to Royce's party. We are very excited to have KC company come visit us!

Everyone enjoy their week!
