Bailey turns 8!

Can't believe our Bailey Shay is now EIGHT years old!  She, on the other hand, is very..VERY excited to be 8.  Especially right now since she and Brinley are the same age for a few months.

Party at the pond was on the agenda with our dear friends!  I usually take a lot more photos but I decided to really enjoy the day and talk more than taking a thousand photos.  So I only took 999.  ;)



John John loved hanging out with Sophie!

Fulton caught a nice one!

The party theme was "Spy Kids" and Marty had games planned that were awesome!  The kids loved climbing the rope ladder and doing the obstacle course.  They did some target practice shooting balloons with a BB gun.  But you know what the biggest hit of the party was??  A totally unexpected, unplanned, old-fashioned JUMP ROPE!!!   We didn't even plan on having it at the party!  Brinley and Bailey were playing with it while we set up everything earlier in the day and it was left on the picnic table.

We found out that one of our mamas was on a jump rope team in school. (Go Jennifer!)  We also found out that one of our mamas can still jump with the best of them (Go Kim!)  and that no one else could keep up with Kelly and her double-time jumping!  We also learned that the birthday girl's daddy could jump too....sort of! 

Yep.....a rope and a bunch of girls and you've got a recipe for a jump rope marathon!!!

























Just a note for our family's future reference when we look back at these photos.  Where was Brinley???  She was too busy running around playing with her BFFN Ethan.  
She told us last week that Ethan is her "best friend for now".    ;)
