Scout's birthday party!

Well, let me start off by saying that our camera battery died (at the most inopportune time), so we are missing a few photos of the actual cake and blowing out any candles, but there was a very fun and festive weekend around here because.... (Drumroll, please)

Scout is 5!

Grandma and Papa drove down from Sundance, and for the first time ever we had friends at our party. We had it at this great place called Pump it Up--a bounce house type of place. Uncle Jon, Aunt Lexie, Ella and Addy joined us at the party, as did our local folks Lacey and Travis, and everyone stayed all day with us at our house for a fun backyard BBQ.

Go, Scout, go!

Fierce competition between Lacey and Travis

This is two little boys boxing... however, I include this photo because apparently there was a boxing match between Cory and Alan and I missed it! So, picture Cory and Alan in this photo...

We had so much fun, it was such a great experience for all of us. But once again, whew... I'm pooped!
