Day of Births, Never ending bike rides and super dads
What a weekend! After the bed and breakfast bust, I was praying for an uphill climb to the fun time station. Saturday, I had planned on riding the yellowride bike ride with Brett in memory of my papaw Gilliland "Slick" and in honor of my papaw Pritchett, Eugene. He was planning on riding the 37 mile course and I was contemplating it, but pretty sure I would stick with 10 with the mountain bike I was borrowing. I mean, Brett trained and T did not. However, humans are much more capable than we think and mix that with T-rolls will power to do it...shazam! 37 miles in Bay Minette with many hills tested my strength, but I had a great time! I am absolutely in for next year. Here's some pics for your viewing pleasure...don't mind the oodles of perspiration.
Sunday was a wonderful day for the fathers. Kade got Kev a very cool Boston Red Sox hat, clay footprints and a dog tag necklace which he hates. It was more for the keepsake aspect of it, because I was in a cheesy...let's try to make it special kind of mood. Oh, well...went right along with the rest of my gift giving. :) Then, we celebrated 4 birthdays at moms (me, Kev, Brett and Amanda). We actually had 4 cakes..yes, my mom had to get a cake for each of us. For some reason, I was super stressed out. I don't know if it was Kade's mood or the new vitamins entering my system, but my nerves were shot and it felt like I needed another weekend. However, I did enjoy spending time with the family. Ed, Alicia and fam were also in town. Amanda's family came to the party as well...it was so good to see everyone.
Today, my actual Birthday was complete with a very busy work day and a trip to the dentist. Ugh. Can you believe I accepted that on my calendar? To finish the day and make up for the misery of work and dentist, mom bought all the girls movie tickets!!! Holla. I was super excited. The Proposal = highly recommended. Well, I will quit blabbering for now. I appreciate everyone's kind words on this birthday. Love you all.
