HAPPY BIRTHDAY ETHAN!

Ethan was born today four years ago. We celebrate it
on Saturday with eight other little ones. He had a great
time as did Lexxi. We went bowling, started at 2 and ended
at 3:30. Very simple and over tea time so popcorn, cake
and soda was all they needed.


Party Favors. First thing to do.
Contents: bouncy ball, puzzle,bubbles, flashlight
key chain, Pk of gummie bears,and colored chalk.


Draw the dinosaur cake. (Nick)


We do cupcakes. That is what we do. Almost every birthday
cake is with cupcakes. So we wanted to make it work.
You don't know how hard it is do make a cake in this heat.
We had no where big enough to store the boarded cake so we had
to put the finished piece in our room with the air conditioner
on. It was our walk in fridge for a few hours! We are so thankful
for even having that option... an air conditioner!!!


It is melting. The cake is from scratch and the icing was a splurge.
We can get icing here if you want to pay the price!
I thought he was worth it for his b day! Nick and
I made a good team everything was a joint effort.
I love a man who is good with his hands!


There were a total of 10 little ones. Ethan, Lexxi, Lois,
Pheobe, Ben, Alex, Joshua, Micah, Gabe and another Ethan.
The kids loved Bowling, and I was glad I
came home to a clean quiet house.


Ethan was stoked! That testosterone was so strong it
was scary. They would yell "YYYAAAA"" when the ball
hit the pins... didn't matter who or how many they all cheered.


Somewhere he lost his shirt. He must have been nervous
but he kept looking up at that score board and biting on his nails.


Everyone wants a ball... Ethan wants to know
who's winning.

Opening presents. They were all a little broken
by that night.


About to sing and eat.


His presents that are almost destroyed. Can't wait till tonka!
Overall a good day for him. We cannot believe he is four!
I love the stage both Lexxi and Ethan are in. Dinner time around
our table is full of tummy aches and tears (not because the food is
bad) but from laughing SO hard!
They are so much fun and we are so thankful to be their parents!
