Birthday Dinner with My Boys

My boys took me out to dinner tonight at Outback. Dave surprised me with the staff singing Happy Birthday and serving me an ice cream sundae! I do believe that Braiden enjoyed the singing more than me as he yelled with excitement and clapped his hands through the entire song!

My sweet boy and me celebrating :-)

Iron Aiden

In May our dear friend Leslie's baby boy was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) which is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues of the body. Aiden’s tumor grew out of his diaphragm and reached just under his right lung. Since then this sweet angel has been fighting to win his battle with cancer. While Aiden, Leslie, and Chris have a long road ahead of them they remain extremely strong and positive. Many of their friends and family have put fundraisers together in Northern VA to raise money to help pay for medical bills. One of the fundraisers was the ability to purchase t-shirts supporting "Iron Aiden."

We are all praying for you Aiden. You will win this fight angel!

Teeth

Braiden got his two bottom teeth a few months ago, but I was never able to get a picture of them! Finally I caught them :-) If you look closely you can see on little top tooth trying to come through to make a whopping THREE teeth!

Night Out with the Girls

On Friday night the girls took me out for an early birthday celebration. We headed to Neptune Beach and had an absolute BLAST!
