Birthday Buddies

Kian and his cousin Mel share the same birthday. Jack likes to refer to them as "Birthday Twins". He's starting to become more aware of relationships and tries to apply his knowledge whenever possible.


Kian and Mel will always have a special bond due to this, but I don't think they'll mind. We were off to Mel's party on their actual birthday, but stopped to celebrate our family meal at El Rodeo on the trip down. Oh, and that was only after we went to Jackson's soccer game the morning of. We've been quite busy here lately, cramming everything possible into our schedule. The boys love the hustle and bustle all while Kyle and I lose more and more sleep. Oh well, we will catch up on that sleep one of these days. Until then, we'll just have to learn to live it up!



I just realized that we failed to take a picture of Mel and Kian together. We'll have to put that on the list for next year.


Even though Kian and I are attached most of the time, we don't have many pictures together. Here's a decent one.


Papaw Hop was so nice to sit with Kian as he ate some birthday cake and ice cream. Oh, and he made sure Kian had ever bit of icing possible. This included letting him stick his finger in the cake prior to it being cut. Sorry Mel! I wasn't sure this was the best idea since we had a 2.5 hour drive back home, but he passed out within 5 minutes. Thankfully he slept the entire trip home. Not a fun drive with all of the storms we encountered.

A silly picture of the girls surrounding the cake. (L to R: Katy, Brooklyn, Mel & Sydney)





Jackson and Bo are very good buddies. They grew quite close last summer when Jacob spent the summer with us. It seems as though they always pick up right where they left off. And that usually involves being silly!


Jack grabbed the camera to capture a few pictures as well. Here's one of the birthday girl with her mother, father and cousin Sydney.

We had a great time at your party Mel and look forward to many more.

until next time...lc
