Mommy decided since she was nearing the end of her 3rd trimester, she better do things easy this year. We decided to throw Gray's birthday party a few weeks early, so as not to accidentally miss it if a certain little girl decided to show her sweet face early. His actual birthday is August 10th and my scheduled C-Section date is August 17th.....so there was a chance she may come around his birthday.

We celebrated at the Natatorium this year.

Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing Being the hottest day of the summer thus far, it was a good thing. Although it was a little humid indoors, it was nothing like the scorching 103 degree heat outdoors!

We had an amazing turnout.....all of his favorite little friends were there....including a couple of super models...
