Yesterday we celebrated Eric's birthday along with another friend who has a birthday the day after his. It has become something of a tradition for all of us to get together to do a dual birthday celebration. We spend a lot of time with our friends from college who have all coincidentally ended up here in the metroplex. The last of our buddies moved to the Fort Worth area about a month ago so he could attend medical school. It is really awesome to have everyone back together. Although I am learning that they are still the same freshman boys they were all those years ago when they are together!

| Ansley, Eric, Baby Barrett, and Blayne |
 |
| Ansley LOVES the water! |
 |
| Daddy and Blayne negotiating the dowry for Ansley and Bear's marriage. I think they scrapped the idea of 12 camels for a 12 pack of beer. |
 |
| Our grill master, Craig. We feel slightly bad that we always invite him over and then put him to work grilling our food: beer brats, grilled corn on the cob and bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. |
 |
| Our friends, Monica and Wally, got married back in April. They were stealing a brief moment to dance to a sweet love song that was playing. Eric and Blayne felt the need to make it a group dance. |
 |
| A warm summer night, but at least the fan kept the mosquitoes at bay. |
 |
| I made Eric a chocolate cake from Craig's grandmother's family recipe. No pressure there! But it was super yummy! |
 |
| Chocolate cake and vanilla Bluebell ice cream |
 |
| Eating, drinking and swimming went late into the night...or early morning depending on how you look at it! A great night with great friends. |
