August 11, 2011 was Peter's 11th birthday and I don't think he could have waited another day for it to get here!This was one excited little boy! We had a day of celebrating Peter and he loved every minute of it!

All Peter wanted for his birthday was to have his two best friends over, Tyler and Lucas and to have his uncles come and play poker with him! Luckily he is in the coolest family ever and his uncles all showed up for Meat pizza and Root Beer to play some cards!
Getting ready for some serious poker!
Tyler, Peter and Lucas talked all day about their night of poker! They thought they were SO very cool - and they were!
Lizzie refused to leave the table where her godfather was - she did everything that she could to get his attention! I love watching them together!
Serious poker faces!

Nate and Tony had a birthday party at Bounce U and Randi and Chris invited us back to their new house after. We had a cookout, saw the house and just had a really relaxing and nice time with our friends! It is always so fun to be with them!

There is nothing like a fun day with great friends and we also realized that Chris and Randi now live even closer to us so we will hopefully get to see them even more!
It has been a terrific week and celebrating the birth of our eldest child was the highlight!
Happy Birthday, Peter Westley - God blessed us when he sent you into our arms and we are so grateful and happy that you were born! We love you like crazy!
