Rodeo and Martina McBride

Our wonderful friends Ashley and Chris invited us to go to the Rodeo with them and I was so excited! And to add to it he had AWESOME seats! We had a blast! Thanks Chris and Ashley!

Ethan's 5th Birthday

*CAUTION: LOTS OF PICTURES ON THIS POST!*

The long awaited day finally came!! Ethan was very excited this morning! We made our way over to Incredible Pizza to get ready and wait for our friends. We were the first ones in there which was nice because we had the game room to ourselves for a bit. We played for a little while guests arrived and then went to the party room for pizza and cake. Then it was back out to the game room! It was a fun day, a little crazy, but Ethan had a blast and thats all that counts!

Cool riders

Unfortunately, Reef was sick the day of the party and unable to come so Troy stayed home with him. Josh took Jonas on the race cars in Troy's place.

And he won first!!

Ready, set, GO!

Jayden was the big winner of this round.

Ready for a nap...

Ainsley beat us to it!

Happy birthday my sweet boy! I can't believe how fast these 5 years have gone by. Slow down a little will you? I can't wait to see what God has in store for you in the years to come!

Ethan's Birthday Dinner With the Ebroms

This evening we went over to Mike and Tina's house for a birthday celebration for Ethan. They weren't going to be able to make it to the party on Saturday and wanted to have a special bash to give him the long anticipated gift Mike had been planning since Ethan's 4th birthday! Now, I was not really on board with this plan but of course daddy was so it is what it is! Mike had Ethan close his eyes...

And then rip into it...just look at the excitement on his face! Look Dad!

Uncle Chris and Aunt Ashley got him a never ending container of bb's and some targets to go with his red rider.

Yep, that's right, he got a bb gun folks!

Here he's practicing on his shooter eye.

The gun is just a tad too big for Ellie...

Even though it was dark out and FREEZING, the men still went outside so they could "test" the gun.

Wait, I thought this was Ethan's gun?

Thank you to our wonderful friends for such a special night! We love you all so much!
