Brian's Birthday Bash

The first weekend in August we celebrated Brian's birthday at the lake with some of Brian's close friends and his family. We had a really wonderful time catching up with friends that we haven't seen in a while.
One of the highlights of the weekend was spending time with Brian's dad, his wife Michele, and Brian's brother Tyler. They even brought a very special, surprise gift that has Brian has used so much since his birthday-a Bumblebee remote control airplane. After a little bit of work putting it together...

and a few false starts...

Brian has finally become an airplane-flying expert...

We were surrounded by people we love, cupcakes, and homemade ice cream...it's hard to find a better way to celebrate such a special birthday boy!
