Happy 8th Birthday Corbyn!

Corbyn's 8th birthday was on May 25th. We had planned on having a birthday party at a local pool on June 7th. I was notified on June 5th that the pool was not going to be open by the time of the party. I called all of the parents that I had phone numbers for. We decided to move the party to The Cove at Concord Park since it had a beach area for swimming as well as a playground.

Randy's parents (Grandma & Grandpa) drove over from Hickory, NC to visit for a couple of days and attend the party. Grandma brought "Lucy" (Grandma's cane) along and the boys were mesmerized. Grandpa played in the water with the boys and Grandma handed out treats. Corbyn played in the water with all of her friends and had a great time. After swimming and sand time, we ate hotdogs and snacks, then Corbyn ripped through her presents. She was thrilled to get spending money to take on our beach trip.

Corbyn served her friends birthday cake. Her party theme this year was puppy dogs. I failed to take a photo of her cake this year but it was really cute! The children snarfed it up and the adults didn't even get a piece (I don't even think Corbyn got a piece). After swimming more, the kids moved to the playground. All in all, it was a great party!

Thanks Nana, Grandma, Grandpa, and Alyssa for helping me prepare for the party!


Thanks to all of our friends for coming! Corbyn was thrilled that so many of her friends were able to come.

We missed those of you who couldn't attend, but we appreciate your cards, wishes, and gifts.

Aunt Sandi, Corbyn used her birthday money to buy some "Littlest Pet Shop" collectibles and a new bathing suit to take to the beach. Thank you so much!
