Ut trip and Paul's Birthday

We had a great weekend with our UT family! Starting off the trip with a fun 5k run where Paul rocked! He placed 2nd in his age division and 22nd overall! Erik and I walked it but sprinted the last straight away and beat Aunt Jamie, finishing 5th in my age division. We all had a great time!
Then we took a dip in Grandma JuLee's pool!

Jillian sporting her cute smile and bathing suit.

We were all a little shocked at the chill in the water. But in this picture Jillian doesn't seem to mind.

Erik LOVED the pool and trying out his new goggles and squirter. He dunked himself and gave us all a bit of a scare when he went completely under. But he was fine and kept swimming. :)

Jillian and Erik afloat!

We played hard on Sat, ending the night with a drive in movie. This is Erik's sleeping position Sunday morning. I guess sleeping in the closet is more comfortable than the bed. :)

The birthday boy!

Paul requested German Chocolate cake. This was my first time making this kind of cake and it turned out great! and so yummy!

Then we came home and celebrated on his actual birthday!

The birthday loot.

Erik and Paul are wearing crowns because they are Kings.

Erik and I have been learning about letters and today was the letter "K"

so we made crowns for the Kings in our family.

Bowling with the Kinect Sports X-BOX game.

Apparently Jillian is his good luck charm. :)

We went swimming again that night then had cake, leftovers.

Erik, again, dunked himself in the pool. He had been jumping into the water to me and I would catch him. I stopped a min to rub my eyes and he jumped. I opened my eyes and saw him at the bottom of the pool. We were both really surprised but ok.

We had a wonderful weekend and loved celebrating Paul's birthday!
