The Kid's birthday party

I love planning parties, most of the time, but after the HUGE Sock Monkey bash we had last year for The Kid's party and the big Ready to POP shower we had for my sister, I just wasn't up for a huge family/friends party this year. That's okay, The Kid was more than happy to have just pizza, cake, and presents with a few family members... so long as ELMO was there :) I did mostly store-bought stuff this year, with the exception of the cake (Momma made), and the Make-Your-Own grilled pizzas, courtesy of Nana Linnie I hope you enjoy the photos!

This weekend The King and I had the pleasure of attending our first concerts ever!  Thursday night we saw Sting's Back to Bass concert at the Bangor Waterfront Pavillion, and the following night we went to the Jana Kramer/Rodney Atkins/Darius Rucker concert.  These Were Amazing!!! I mean truly amazing! We had so much fun, and can't wait to go to another one!  Anyway, enough chatter, here are some photos!! Wish I could have taken my good camera, but cell phone and bloggie camera pics will have to do!

The Kid's first hoop!

She loves to play with the ball... but up until now couldn't make a basket on her own without being lifted up... well that all changed recently:

She's so proud of herself! and we're so proud of her!!
