Jerod's 10th Birthday Party @ Shenanigans Bowling

I can't believe my little nephew is 10 years old. How fast time flys by. The past few years we have had Jerod's birthday parties at Mols house in the backyard and this year he wanted to do something a little bit different. We came up with the idea of going to Shenanigans in Rockwall and he loved that idea. The kids bowled, ate pizza, cake and ice cream, did laser tag and ended the day winning lots of tickets playing the arcade games!! Jerod invited boys from his baseball team, a few kids from school and Gracie and Cutter. He had a blast and I think he will remember this one for a long time to come. Brent and I even got in on the action by playing laser tag. I didn't really know what I was doing but guess who ended up winning, Brent of course. He didn't even give the kids a chance!! Happy Birthday Jerod!!!

Mavs Round 1 Game 1 Playoff Game

Little did I know when I went to the Mavs Game 1 of Round 1 Playoff game that they would go all the way to become NBA Champions!! I'm sorry to say that I didn't believe it but man did they prove me wrong. It was a fun night as we got to invite Davey and Mika to come with us. They have never been to a Mavs game before so it was so exciting to watch them have soo much fun!! The Mavs did win that night, so it was a sweet ending!!

Charity Gala for Type 1 Diabetes

Brent's mom, Vicki invited me to go with her to a charity gala supporting Type 1 Diabetes. This was dear to my heart as my little nephew's best friend who is just 10 years old has Type 1 Diabetes. He has to live his life so differently than all the other little kids and he does it with a smile on his face. He is the sweetest little boy and he never complains about getting pricked several times a day. I'm glad that I was able to be apart of something so great and the charity ended up raising over a million dollars that night. They had several guest celebrities that included Bret Michael's and a performance by Julianne Hough, she is absolutely beautiful. Thanks Vicki for a wonderful evening!!

All dressed up and ready to go
