Birthday Party Pony Rides and Hayrides - Yee Haw!

HAYRIDES = FUN

Holden and Branson

Today was so much fun!

Branson and Holden had their birthday party at a little farm in Blythewood. We invited a bunch of little people to help us celebrate. We had pony rides, hayrides, a pinata, pin-the-tail on the donkey and plenty of dirt and space to run and play! Both Birthday Boys picked out a BatMan cake; didn't see that one coming, but hey, who am I to judge? BatMan and Pony rides seem to go together just fine when you're 4 I guess. The weather was so perfect today too! It was a good day for all little cowboys and cowgirls.

Birthday, Easter, Spring Bash, etc.

I have pictures from Easter morning, which was also the day Branson and Holden turned 4! I'll post them here soon. Where did 4 years go?! I'm amazed at how fast they grow.

HAWAII!! GO BIG... or go home!

We took a family trip to Hawaii the week before the boys turned 4. It was actually for 10 whole days! Also, the boys' first plane ride; I mean if your gonna do it... Just Do It! right?! They were so incredibly good on the trip I was amazed. I'm not just saying that as a biased mother either; I was a little anxious knowing that the airplane flight time alone was 10hrs - not counting time getting to and from the airports or layovers... so I was holding my breath hoping for the best. It's all about attitude. We were so excited to be going to paradise that we were thinking positive thoughts leading up to the trip and it worked!

Thanks Grandpa & Susie for the trip. They took our family, my sister's family, and my brother and his wife. We had a blast. I think the boys' swimming progressed 200% ~ by the end of the trip they had turned into little fishies!! The luau was the big highlight. With dancing, music, temporary tattoos, fire throwing, etc. Too cool. Hawaii was an awesome trip.


I'll post some pictures on this post soon!!
