Border Bash 2012

 
Stryker was BEYOND excited to go to Border Bash this year and meet... COCKY! Friday afternoon we drove up to Aiken, picked up Nana & Poppa and headed over to Augusta Common for the yearly event!
 

First things first, we had to stop at the Hooter's tent for Stryker to practice his spiral! What a good looking lad in his jersey... Even if it's USC ;)


 
Nice form!


After playing some football, checking out the vendors and grabbing some food, we headed back to stake our claim in front of the stage. We listened to the band, ate, people watched then... There he was! COCKY! I grabbed my camera and Dan grabbed Stryker so we could say hello!


At first, Stryker was a little standoff-ish....



But pretty soon Cocky & him were Best Buds!


We headed back to our seats and finished our dinner. Stryker was intrigued with the UGA cheerleaders and watched as they mingled around us.


And I, of course, took the opportunity to take some super cute pictures!






 
LOVE this! He doesn't even know they're there!



Soon, it was time for the pep rally portion of the show to start. UGA cheerleaders and Hairy took the stage first..
 
 
And then the USC squad and Cocky made their way on stage..






We ended the night fairly early because one little one was ready to G-O! What a great tradition this has been to enjoy with Nana & Poppa! The Gehlken's are all smiles!

A Weekend of Birthday Celebrations!

This past weekend we celebrated THREE birthdays! We had a very busy weekend ahead of us!

Before the festivites could begin, Saturday morning we had a little craft project to complete. While I could breakfast, Stryker went to making his beautiful master piece for Mammy.

 
This child LOVES to paint... Heck he loves to craft anything actually. It was the highlight of his morning to be able to make the plain ole pot pretty!

 
 
After painting, breakfast and getting ready, we were all set to start Birthday Party Day!


 
Our first stop was Palmetto Islands County Park in Mt Pleasant. Derrick is turning 4 soon and we helped him celebrate at the Big Toy playground! It was a perfect day- not too hot or cool, bright and sunny. Stryker LOVED running around with Derrick and his party guests and also loved checking out all the cool stuff to play on!


 

















We had to leave a little early to make it back to Goose Creek for McKinley's FIRST birthday. I didn't snap any pictures of that party, but I can assure you that it was good time! And the little Princess enjoyed the party and the attention!

 Sunday, Grandma, Stryker, Dan & I loaded up to hit Lowe's for a flower for the pot Stryker made Mammy. He picked out a beautiful flower and we were on our way to deliver. We had a nice afternoon chatting with Mammy & Joe and catching up. And she LOVED Stryker's handmade gift!
