And he turns one!

It has been a long while since we have posted and the Surratt Pack has been up to a lot! First, Tracy and Eric celebrated their 5th anniversary! 5 years and 2 kids later... WOW!! We've come a long way baby! Soon after, Eric and Tracy left for a fun/work trip to Vegas. As they say, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but here on the home front, the kids had a great time with Bebe and Mamo. Lexa and Aunt Darcy helped out as well one night. Since Tracy was in a conference, Eric didn't stay for the entire trip and once he got back to town, Grandma and Papa showed up after their long Tennessee trip. Congrats Grandma on your wonderful success in the 1/2 marathon!! and thanks everyone for all your help while the adult Surratt's were out of town!!

We celebrated Kyles 1st birthday on Friday May 2nd. The real day is May 1st, however, Tracy was still in Vegas (winning the Mom-of-the-year Award) so we waited till Friday to celebrate. Kyle loved the pizza but was not a big fan of the cake!! However, he'll bowl you over for a bite of ice cream!!

We also got together with our good friends the Britts that weekend as well. The weather was perfect and we spent the entire afternoon out back catching up! Tracy and Eric got to experience life with out children, because both of our kids were so into the Britt kids, they forgot we existed!

On a more serious note, Grandma came though a rather serious surgery for a melanoma with flying colors and we got the "all clear" word from the doctor yesterday!! We could not be happier and wish Grandma a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing Grandma and Papa next week! (Due to a lot of puking, Tracy was unable to drive down to NC to visit. We miss you Grandma and Papa!!)

This past weekend we spent a wonderful mothers day with Mamo, Bev, Aunt Darcy, and Lexa. Eric slaved away in the kitchen and everything was delicious! Not only did he cook dinner, he cleaned first, did all the food shopping, prepping and most importantly, cleaned everything up as well!! We love you E!

And now, the reason you all tune in...
Family anniversary dinner - 5 years and counting!!

Cathy Surratt in Vista, CA is dying of cervical cancer. We are part of the Surratt family I know I'm her husband... mum is the word, she is a superstar in my eyes. Her bio family has no idea what is going on with her. Yet she acts every day like nothing is happening to her... Please pray for my wife.
