Porter is 7 and Stella runs a 5k!


Weve had a fun week with nice weather for a change! We hosted Porter's 7th birthday party at our house on Thursday evening. To say these 11 boys were WILD and CRAZY would be the understatement of the year. But they had a blast so it was all worth it!

On Friday I went to have lunch with Porter for his bday, but he ended up going with the other kids celebrating their bday that week to the guidance counselors room. She hosts the bday kids each Friday and gives them little trinkets. So I ended up eating with Stella. If a parent come to school to have lunch the child is allowed to have one friend sit with them. Stella ended up having 5 girls with with us. Not sure how she managed that! Haha! But it was a very entertaining lunch to say the least!

Friday evening was Stella's 5k Girls On The Run race. She did great and I'm not sure of her time or place, but I think she finished in the top 10 out of 200+ girls. Hannah was 3rd overall and Stella was just a few girls behind her. Her team brought stuff to decorate their hair and body with. The body markers DO NOT come off! Ugh!!,

Great shot of Wes and Hannah in the front and Mike and Stella right behind them! 

Stella getting ready to cross the finish line. I was looking into the sun and so we can't see Mike!

Saturday the kids threw together baseball game in the backyard. A few are missing from the photo. Yesterday they were playing street hockey. We are adjusting well to having a neighborhood with kids! 

Yesterday was The day Porter has been waiting for for weeks now! His 7th birthday! His big gift was this Razor 360.  He and Stella had a blast on it yesterday! Wish I was small enough to try it out. 

He chose Red Robin for his birthday dinner. He actually loved having the staff sing to him this year. Very cute!
