Trip to L.A.!

So sorry it has taken me so long to fill you all in on our L.A. adventure! We arrived on a Thursday morning and it was a beautiful, sunny, Southern California day. We were there visiting our friends the Olsen family and they were fabulous tour guides!! We immediately headed downtown to tour USC and attended the musical "On the Town".  The next six days were filled with Kids Choice Awards (Black Eyed Peas were amazing) , Dancing with the Stars (we enjoyed seeing ourselves on tv), watching the taping of General Hospital and the new Disney series ANT Farm, visiting Pepperdine, UCLA, and the Malibu Pier, shopping on (and off) of Rodeo Drive, searching for the "perfect" prom dress ( Ashley O. gave me some great suggestions), and staying at The Beverly Hills Hotel! It was so exciting to see Bruce Willis, Michael Bolton, Jay Leno, Elle McPherson and many other celebs. It was even more exciting to meet Chad Michael Murray at the Polo Lounge!

 Two days after returning to Arkansas we welcomed a tiny new member to our family! Hart Manning Byrd was 7 lbs 1 oz and had a head full of blonde hair (like his "K-Kate"). After having all girls in the fam it's so great to finally have a boy!

 Prom 2011 was a huge success!! It is hard to believe we will all be graduating soon and going in so many different directions. This is the end of one chapter of our lives but the beginning of a new and excititng one. It is truly bittersweet.
