Happy Birthday Na!!!

Well this weekend was Na's BIG 3-0 BIRTHDAY weekend!!Friday night, Tiffany organized his ideal birthday party, for sure...all of his best buds met at the Ponderosa Hunting Club (a cabin in the middle of nowhere Berlin, TN that he and Tiff's dad and brothers built...and the boys' favorite spot to just hang and be boys) on Friday evening, and well--- we have no idea what they did (or what they ever do there, for that matter),but we are certain it has to do with sitting around a fire, laughing lots, telling very TALL tales, and getting very little good sleep! Still, that is Na's kind of party...and this is HIS birthday, so the cabin it was!

Us girls, meanwhile, had a fun night at the Calmus house- where we were, as usual, very outnumbered by kiddos...

... and where Livi Drae held her own with Cason and Coleman in wrestlemania, and then they pretty well sacked out on the couch together!

Then later that night, Shaelyn Jade pretty much took over the "big bed" all night at our house...but what can I say, I love every snuggle I can get with this girl!

On Saturday, we met at a cute little restaurant called Marcy Jo's... just on the edge of the middle of nowhere Berlin, TN... and had a fabulous breakfast!


...and then the kiddos found a very fun set of steps out back (this kind of fun could only be found at a place like Marcy Jo's, mind you!) that they must have jumped off of no less than 100x each (remember when you used to jump off of things and it NOT hurt???)!!!

(...LOVING the little Bear with his hands in his pockets like a big man...)

...and those who couldn't jump off steps yet just sat in the yard and ate leaves...

(Jadybug and her good buddy Cate)

Then it was off to PHC...

...where we rode...

...walked...

...fished (see the little fishy this girl caught with her hands???)...

...and CAVED!!!!!

Let me mention, here, that the boys have never wanted girls to even get near this "hallowed ground", but recently they discovered a cave on the land and they have been so excited for us all to come and see...and they weren't kidding!

You literally crawl down between jagged rocks...

...and slide down mud...

...and then you find yourself in a cool, damp, dark CAVE! A real cave right there in the middle of nowhere Berlin, TN! It is SUPER cool... and for once, they didn't exaggerate! :)


...It's totally dark in there, so getting a good picture was a trick!

The day was perfect---sunshine, outdoors, and our favorite peeps...all celebrating my wonderful brother Nathan!! Tomorrow (March 29) is actually his 30th birthday, so if you know this guy--- this TRUE outdoorsman...

...make sure you wish him a HAPPY HAPPY DAY!!! We love you Uncle Nate!
