Birthday & Ironman...

I can't believe I'm 28!!! AH!  I'm getting so old! =)  I had such a perfect birthday this year.  Pretty much all day I was teary as I was reminded of all the blessings I have to be thankful for this year.  I had so many of my dear friends who live in various parts of the country calling to wish me a happy birthday.....which always makes my birthday extra special!  As far as the pregnancy...I'm starting to feel a little better each day so that always makes a day so much better......especially when I get to feel our little girl wiggling around inside. =)  We drove over to Panama City Beach on my birthday evening to spend time with my family and Jer's family for the weekend.  My dad was participating in his first Ironman and my two sisters and their husbands drove down for the long weekend!  It made for a very special birthday celebration!  My sisters gave me cute little girl outfits and some fun little baby things.....along with some cute things for me too!  My mamma gave me my first pair of maternity jeans.....very cute for maternity!! =)  Mamma Lloyd gave me a sweet little girl outfit with a precious little matching white sweater!  It sure gets me so excited!!  Here are a few pics from the weekend...

Me, Brit and Linz on the porch of our beach condo.....

All of us together right before Daddy headed to the gulf for his 2.4 mile swim...Linz made us all shirts to wear......sisters wore "Go Daddy Go"....mamma wore "Go Hubby Go" and husbands wore "Go Pappa Boyd Go"....the bottom of the shirts said "Champion Family" (because when I was a little girl and my daddy did really well in a race...I said, "Dad, we are the champion family!"....so it's stayed with us!!) the back of the shirts had the verse from Hebrews 12...."Let us run the race with perseverance.....let us fix our eyes on Jesus."




We were anxiously awaiting dad's finish.......2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run makes for a LONG day!!! =)





GO DADDY GO!!!  He did amazing!  After 11 hours of racing....he even finished with a strong sprint!!!  We were all so proud of him......even my baby girl was wigglin' around all day for him as she cheered him on! =)
