Party Time!

Long time no type! Well by my standards for content on this site, this is actually quite timely.

So last weekend Elizabeth, Jake and I traveled to Alabama to see family and friends. We stopped in Anniston on Friday night and stayed at Dad and Susan’s house. Since it is Lent, Dad made us all fish for dinner (vs. our standard BBQ). Now you know that I am not a big seafood person (unless it is shrimp from the Kani House), but this was pretty good. I know Dad was not happy with how the frying turned out, but it tasted fine. I honestly was not too worried about the appearance.

It was just great to see everyone; we had not seen them since Christmas. Additionally, Grandma made an AMAZING apple pie. I really enjoyed eating that over the past week. Seriously, one of her top 5 pies of all time!

So after Dad’s excellent breakfast, we headed out on Saturday morning and made our way to Springville. It was party time!!! Little Jack Gatgens was celebrating his first birthday, and Jake was pumped about seeing his friend. We had a great time seeing Kevin, Tiph, Jack, Kevin’s parents, and the Walkers (Lynne, Scott, and Jillian). Jack had a baseball themed party (Go Team Gatgens!) and a cool Cubs cake. Kevin has posted pics from the party on his website.

While we were there, Jake had a chance to play on a mini inflatable bouncer. I have posted a new video on the Movie page. Check it out!

Well that is all for now. Hope everyone is doing good. Later!
