Tessa 7th (Swimming) Birthday Party

I'm embarrassed that it has been so long since my last post. More than two months...whew! Anyway, better late than never, right? Here are pics from Tessa's birthday party at the Lone Tree Rec Center pool where she and her friends from school had quite the splash!!

Opening her gift from Mommy and Daddy: The Barbie Dream House.

I think she was happy.

Earrings from Grandma.

She also got to get out of school a bit early for some bowling fun with the family.

Bowling Fun

Earlier in the month, the kids won a free night of bowling and pizza at the neighborhood school's fall festival. So the four of us decided to put it to good use last weekend. 

Picking out the perfect ball.

Tess giving it a roll. (Although she decided she was too big for the stand and stopped using it later in the game.)

Happy with her shot.  

T's turn!

All but one pin. or, as she says, "Aw, man!"

Daddy's turn. Remember to stay behind the line. (Yes Mommy bowled too but she was also the one stuck behind the camera. Shocker. :)

Time to redeem myself!

Wish this one was in video. She was dancing to Thriller. :)

Resting up for the next shot. 

Gotta love family nights. :)

Bowling

 This past weekend we went bowling with some friends. I was up first.

 But I couldn't watch after I rolled the ball.

 Go Paigie!

 Pretty cool eh?

 T was scared at first but after she saw everyone else doing it she decided to give it a try.

 Go Daddy go!

 You did it T!

 Kyle's turn. He wanted to roll his like the grownups.

 Still a little nervous.

 And I still can't watch.

Gotta love a little Sunday bowling. :)
