Birthday Party

Because the kids bdays are so close, because we had a brand new baby, and because its easier to get family down just once for a bday party and not twice, we did another combined bday party for the kids. I asked Kyler what kind of party he wanted....COWBOY was his reply. So after looking around at a few easy ideas this is the party we came up with. I think birthdays are a big deal. Its a day to make them feels special. This year was harder with Parley being so new, but i tried to make their days special and make their party big.
I think it turned out great. The kids had a great time and thats really all that matters in the end. Thanks to everyone who made it.

 We ate some food

 played some musical chairs to western music

 We busted open a homemade pathetic looking pinatia with a stick horse!

 All the kids got pool noodle horses i made...they were pretty cute

 and we had a race

 Then we had cupcakes!

 Then opened a slew of presents

 Brookie in her new hat and with her new baby stroller and baby doll

 Kyler got his hat and Uncle Travis gave him a "real" gun in Kylers eyes. That day alone we went through over 600 snaps

My absolute favorite picture this year

 At the end of the day they sat down, hats and all, with another cupcake on the kitchen floor to watch Lady and the Tramp while mommy cleaned up. Perfect day i would say!
