Lincoln and Miles' Birthday

We went to Lincoln for one last hurrah before Jud's parents move to Texas this fall.  Jud played with his dad in the Hilcrest Member Guest Golf Tournament.  Miles turned two while we were there so we did lots of celebrating.  It was so much fun because he really understood that it was his birthday.  He pretty much had a birthday week and a half since the boys combined birthday party was after we got back the following weekend.

The night we got in GraMary cooked a great dinner at home and made triffle for Miles for his birthday.  Can you tell he's loving every minute of it.

The boys love to wrestle with Daddy on the carpet (we don't have carpet in our house).

No trip to Lincoln is complete without a visit to Val's.  Miles even had a birthday cupcake there.  He looks so big in this picture.  

The morning of his birthday, Miles woke to balloons and donuts.  Does he look excited?

 He loves singing Happy Birthday and still asks for it at bedtime some nights.

GraMary and I took the boys to the Lincoln Zoo for Miles' birthday while Jud and Grandpa Max played their first round in the tournament. 

I love this picture!  Miles usually won't hold Miller's hand and he just reached out and grabbed it.

 Choo Choo!

Posing on the front step in the almost matching cowboy shirts GraMary and Grandpa gave them.

  The theme of the member guest this year was going back to high school.  Each night they had a dinner for the golfers and spouses.  Some people dresses the part and wore things they would have worn while they were in high school.  Here is a picture of us on the second night.  Jud wore his high school basketball practice jersey and a lovely pair of jorts (jean shorts).

 Jud and Max were paired with a buddy of Jud's from grade school and his dad.  Jud hadn't seen Rob in almost 20 years.  Here we are with Rob and his wife Ally.  We had so much fun with them!

The last night was "Prom Night".  There were so many fun dresses (think lots of big poofy sleeves and taffeta).  I found a lovely sequin dress with shoulder pads at a thrift store.  Well worth the $20.

 Jud and Max played really well.  They won their flight and came in second overall in the entire tournament.  Way to go guys!  Here they are with their trophy's.

 Here's the six of us before we left Lincoln. We had such a good time.  Thanks Grandpa and GraMary!

We flew out of Kansas City since it was way cheaper and so we could visit with our friends Ricky, Shae and Amelia.  We met them at an indoor play place and then went to lunch.  Shae managed to snap a pretty good picture of the three kiddos playing.  We don't get to see them enough and miss them so much.  I can't believe sweet Amelia is already one.
