The Hoedown!

Finally, as I promised...pics from the kids' birthday party a week ago.
I think it is going to become a tradition around here that we have a moonbounce at every birthday party. Harper just doesn't think it is complete without one. This year, Harper picked a different one with a sports theme. It was so much fun and the weather was perfect. Richard cooked out hamburgers and hotdogs, my mom made some fabulous potato salad, and we all had root beer to drink. It was a cowoby-riffic time!

{The best part of turning ONE!}

Owen got his very own cake and boy did he love it. He already has a sweet tooth, but this topped it all off. He dug right into the cake and wasn't holding back. When he finally got all of the icing off, he grabbed the cake and pushed the entire thing off of his tray! Needless to say, he got a big bath after this!!!

{Anybody want a kiss?}

{Wishing BIG!}

Happy Birthday Daddy!

The world's most fabulous Dad, Husband, Teacher and Friend turns the BIG 29 on Monday! We love you so much Rich!!!!

A Cowboy Birthday...

was held at our house on Sunday to celebrate Harper's 5th and Owen's 1st Birthdays with family and friends! We grilled out hotdogs and hamburgers, drank lots of Root Beer, jumped on a super fun moonbounce and ate yummy cupcakes! I just had to post some pictures of the decorations. Some more party pics to come...

Harper is FIVE!!!

On Sunday, Harper hit the big FIVE year mark! Wow, five sounds sooo old. She is so excited to be five and is looking forward to going to kindergarten next year. She LOVES school and is so much like a sponge. She just soaks up every tidbit of info she can get ahold of. Harper is such a sweet, fun, smart little girl...who is quickly becoming my big girl! :)

To celebrate her FIVE years...her are some pics of each of her Birthdays!
