Birthday Extravaganza

Eric (or E-Money as Brandon would say) celebrated his 30th Birthday on Saturday. He had an all day boy's fest consisting of 10 men and 10 sports; exertion of testosterone and competition. They wore red or blue t-shirts which Natalie had made with "Sports Extravaganza" printed on them. They played for "gold" medals which Natalie also made for the winning team. And yes, Brandon and Eric being on the same team, took home the "gold."

Meanwhile, we girls (Natalie, Emily, Bailey, and I) sat enthusiastically on the sidelines watching. No really, it was fun and entertaining. The girls were very intrigued and sat in the strollers the whole time in the morning.


Natalie and I also did much of the 'behind-the scenes' work. While the girls napped at the house I decorated cup-cakes and she brought the boys lunch. The girls also got to have some quality play time together which was super fun.

They shared Emily's pacifier and played with a plastic cup. They also both enjoyed Bailey's new walking lion toy. I wish I had a picture of the two of them. Thad hey both held the handle and walked around together; it was adorable.




The day ended at their community spa with pizza and cup-cakes. Many of the guys' wives and children showed up too. It was a fun day and evening for us to meet new people and enjoy a plethora of activities. Happy Birthday Eric; we are glad you were born!

It's past midnight, but I couldn't fall asleep. So...I decided to get out of bed and come downstairs to check in on "The Bridgmans". You can imagine how stoked I was to find this post. That was the best birthday party I've ever had. Thank you both so much for helping me celebrate my 30th. B-Smoke, your moon walk was amazing...my boys are still talking about it. Sara, you were a huge help and the cup cakes were decorated beautifully. Bailey, you are my daughters best friend and I love watching the two of you play together. All in all, just another memorable moment that I loved sharing with you guys.
Eric
P.S. We're still enjoying the apple pie bars...they're so tasty!
