Celebrating Uncle Joe

The boys' uncle turned the big 5-0 on August 18th. We celebrated with the rest of our family over the weekend and headed out to celebrate with more family and friends. It was a surprise and I really do think that he had no idea. Everyone was in on it but Michael had the task of making sure he got to the party without suspecting anything. He did a great job.



The boys were in to EVERYTHING. There were labradoodles, a deck for the boys to admire the party guests, a big pool, a fire put, lots of mud, a barbeque area, horseshoes, steps, boys playing football and of course, Connor's new buddy, Phoebe. We didn't last very long at the party but we heard that the birthday boy enjoyed himself. Happy 50th.



note: The boys and I spent several hours at Joe and Missy's during the storm when we were out of power to get some laundry done before vacation. Connor is always super psyched to see Phoebe so I brought him into the house first and went back to get Jackson. Apparently, Phoebe was a little too excited to see Connor as I returned with Jackson to find him in tears. He was in the corner of their living room as if he was back tracking away from her. Seems as though he forgot about that incident as he was "pat" (petting) her with a big smile on his face for a long time.
