Pony Rides & Crazy Slides

Our friend, Emma, had a crazy fun birthday party today! She had the party at a stable and all the kids got to enjoy pony rides and play on the wonderful playground. The whole way there, Anna was excited about riding the ponies, but the second she saw them she changed her mind. Jack, on the other hand, couldn't wait to go for a ride. He loved it!

She's saying "I no want to ride ponies!"

Loving it!

Watching from a safe distance behind the fence.

After the pony rides, they had a blast checking out all the different slides on the playground.

This one was everyone's favorite . . .

because it made your hair look like this.

After they announced for the last pony ride, Anna decided she was brave enough to go for a ride and begged to have a turn. The nice girls made a special stop so she could have a chance to ride the pony.

She's concentrating so very hard on holding onto the reigns!

After cake and presents, the kids had to have another go at the fun slide.

Ryan was Jack's BFF today. He called her name at least 100 times and was never far from her side.

We had a great time at the party!
Oh, and Sam was there, too. He did a lot of this:

Jack is our inquisitive firstborn. At five years old, he’s extremely interested in how things work and will ask a ton of questions until he gets a satisfactory answer. He's an active kid who enjoys running, jumping, and playing outside. However, give him a video game and he would sit and play all day if we let him. Lover of anything "Buzz" these days, he's definitely all boy. But don't let him fool you, he still has fun playing princesses with his sister! He is a great helper and loving big brother and his deep dimples melt our hearts every time he smiles.

Anna is our spunky three year old. She wants to do everything her big brother does, as long as she can do it while wearing a dress. She is Miss Independent most of the time, and certainly has her own sense of style these days. She loves being a helper around the house, and when she's in the mood, she's the best cleaner upper in the family! She enjoys reading books, singing, dancing, coloring, and playing dress up with her brothers. She will always be our baby girl, and has the biggest, sweetest blue eyes we’ve ever seen.

Sam is our stubborn number three. He's a stinker who manages get into EVERYTHING! It's hard to resist that wide smile and mischievous giggle, though, even when he's up to no good. He's a boy on the move and will do anything to keep up with his older siblings. He loves balls, trains, playing outside, and wearing everyone's shoes but his own. Some days he's still our snugly little boy, and that's quite alright with us because that boy with the toothy grin has brought an enormous amount of joy to our family!
