| Gore & Westville visit
      for Brodie's 6th birthday March 2018 | |
| I was honored to visit my family and help them
      celebrate Brodie's 6th birthday one March weekend.  I made the
      dubious decision to bring along Buddy, our newly-adopted dog.  He was
      not yet adjusted to his new home and I am still not adjusted to being a
      dog-mom, so that aspect of the weekend was a little shaky.  My family
      was super patient with him though, and a good time was had despite our
      dog-management and other issues. | |
|   One of my gifts to Brodie was a set of fake mustaches.  It was all
      fun times until he tried |  | 
| Next, he decided to wear his magician's outfit that I had given him for Christmas, but that scared Buddy into a barking fit that had us all a nervous wreck. | |
|   Next we tried playing with the funny headband joke gifts I gave him,
      which finally did not |  | 
|  |  | 
|   On Sunday evening, we had the official party.  He had this cool
      dinosaur cake and Desirae |  | 
| That Tuesday was his actual birthday, so we all met up in Tulsa for one more day of celebrations at Incredible Pizza. (Or Credible Pizza, as Brodie calls it.) | |
|  |  | 
| He is so funny to watch when he plays video games, he really gets into it! | I lost pretty bad at whistle wars | 
| The following are some cute pictures from the past year that Desirae shared with me. | |
|  \ He is so thrilled to be starting school! |  | 
| His form is just like his Aunt Steph's! (Who played for Arkansas in college.) | |
