The Adams family came for a visit the weekend of Chad's 40th birthday. And how lucky that on Chad's big day they closed on their new house in Watkinsville. Being so close to Athens, that when we drove everyone to see the new house - Roxie and I decided we would take the kids to campus to run around. And...since Uncle Jim had never seen it either, we brought him along. It was such a great time - although really hot! The kids had fun ringing the bell, running around all the green space and playing in the fountain. We stayed on North campus and toured the rest by car - but not before heading downtown for some ice cream to cool us off a bit!
Happy 40th Birthday Uncle Chad!
Hard to believe we are all approaching that milestone. Since Chad and family were busy on his actual birthday moving and such, we decided to host a birthday celebration at our house. Derek and Grandaddy Wayne visited the party store for decorations and were sure to remind Chad of his age - old age that is. The kids had so much fun getting ready for the party. It is great that they are living local now - so the boys can see each other more often. It was wonderful to have all the cousins together so they could play and create new memories. The boys are all 2 years or less apart...so they will likely be somewhat close as they grow up. Uncle Jim made ribs and Derek and I finished all the side dishes.
It didn't take long for Derek to corale everyone down to the basement to play Rock Band. I think everyone took turns playing at least one musical instrument - or singing. Here are some of my favorite pictures.
Grandaddy Wayne and all his grandchildren...couldn't get one where everyone was looking at the camera and smiling...this was the best one!
Before everyone left Sunday morning, I got this cute picture of the boys all telling me who was tallest...too cute! They are each near exactly 18 months apart.
