Russell's in Rewind.............

Saturday, we went to a birthday swim party for my friend's twins who were turning 4. So, quite a few pictures from the party.......Camden is all about going in the pool, Case, not so much. He did go in when I would hold him, but he spent most of his time just dipping his feet in the pool. They had pizza and chicken nuggets from Chick filet-I was actually quite surprised that they were actually really good, especially dipping them in the different sauces they had. After the party we had picked Ashleigh up from her friend's house and made our way back home. Tonight was going to be the night that we would be meeting Matt-the young man she is going to homecoming with next weekend. We made it very clear that she would not be going anywhere with him until we met him and his family. So, both his mom and dad were supposed to be bringing him over last night, but it turned out his dad got called to work and so his mom was the lucky one!
Anytime, you have to meet someone for the first time, yes it's usually awkward-but that's ok. Well, being that I forgot there was going to be pizza at the party earlier that day, I had bought to pizzas from the deli the day before and so, that was what we were going to have! We played a game of Balderdash with him and Joel fell for a couple of his answers and Matt fell for a couple of mine. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with him-nobody is ever "perfect" for their son or daughter, or at least in the eyes of the parents, but he seems very nice and a good head on his shoulders. He told us that he would like to go into the airforce and fly, I guess he's currently in a military program that meets once a week, but with being on the football team right now, he's kind of taking a break from that right now. Ok, prob. more info than you really care to hear, but when all this is a whole new experience.....I prob. tend to ramble more than necessary :)
Well, it looks like I will either be dress shopping with Ashleigh today or tomorrow-wish me luck!

I think it is great that you both wanted to get to know Matt before he took Ashleigh out! He is a cute kid, love the braces. Glad the kids had fun doing some swimming. Have a great week.
