BIRTHDAY PARTIES & MUSIC IN THE PARK


One thing we have thoroughly enjoyed while living in Rochester is being so close to family(photo is Scott's bro. and sis. in-law and kids Caleb and Ivie). We are so lucky to have family, brothers and sisters who are our best friends and love us no matter what! A few months ago Lorinda and I decided that we should throw a 1/2 B-day party for Wes who has a birthday in December.... well, not thinking, we wrote it on the calendar wrong. So, yesterday we had a party for Wes on his almost 1/2 birthday. Despite the numerical error, it was a lot of fun. As always, great food and great company. Will loves playing with his cousins, he's always so happy at their house, and he loved the lime chicken Uncle Wes grilled. I made cupcakes to honor the occasion and we even got to sing "Happy Birthday" (I think this is Ivie's -Scott's niece- favorite part, she loves to sing happy birthday to anyone and everyone all through the year) and have Wes blow out his candles. Happy Birthday Wes, we love you!


We also enjoyed "Music in the Park" right behind our apt. Rochester sponsers a free evening of music every Sunday. Yesterday it was dedicated to families, so we wanted to go and show our support. They have an orchestra and a choir that sang and played Disney songs, patriotic songs, broadway hits, etc. Will loves music and he was in heaven having grass to run around on, stopping every few steps to lead the music and give us a little booty shake. We love when the community offers events like these and try to support them, it is a great way to spend time as a family.
