Caden's 7th B-day Par-Tay!

Caden had his 7th Birthday! I can't believe how old he is getting! It really makes me sad...and makes me feel old:( He totally had this party planned! He wanted a Movie Party and watch Alvin and the Chipmunks, he wanted to invite only boys, and he wanted the above menu:

hotdogs, popcorn, nachos, candy, cheese balls, licorice, etc...All the kids had tickets and they had to buy what they wanted...they loved it!

These are the cupcakes! So much fun making these little guys! If you want a tutorial, go to my other blog...Swanky Pear!!
They played silly string tag...a favorite:)

They watched the movie...
Opened presents...
Got support on blowing out candles...
Getting ready to blow out the candles....
And spat at the candles??? What's up with that face???
He realized that spitting on them was not going to work...so he blew...that still didn't work! Oops...I got trick candles!
And they danced...Freeze Dance...to Alvin music.

Happy Birthday Caden! We sure love you!

Happy Birthday Caden!

Caden has been one busy Birthday boy! He gets 3 parties!! One at the Ranch, a Family one (on his actually birthday) and one with friends. Here he is...all decked out in one of his presents...
Thanks to Grandma Thatcher...she had a cake for him...was great because I just didn't have time to make one!
He really likes his nerf gear:)
Happy Birthday Caden! We love you so much!!

At the Ranch

Now people...I'm not gonna lie to you. There are a MILLION pictures...ok, maybe just about 30. But you know what...I am NOT going to apologize:) There were too many fun things going on this day and my sister-in-law, Wendy takes amazing pictures...I stole all of them:) We went to the Ranch where Ben's parents keep their horses and they are on 120 acres...tons of room to ride horses and see all the cows. So...enjoy the pictures and the beauty!

We went to celebrate Caden's birthday...my little boy turned 7...time is FLYING by!!

This horse was hilarious...making all sorts of faces and showing some serious teeth.

Molly and Noah rode on Chevy...such a sweet old horse.

Love this little guys eyes...sooo blue;)

Caden rode with Grandma

Even Connor was getting in on the horse action...he may just be a natural!

Will helped drive the truck...seriously...all by himself. Wendy, you need to watch it with this one! He may get some crazy ideas:)

This is Jon rounding up the cows...see the darling baby calves?? They. Were. Precious:)

Check out how beautiful and green it is!

The gang...Will, Noah, Logan, Connor, Caden and Molly

There was tons to do there...including riding the scooters.

and blowing bubbles...

and celebrating birthdays...

and the best part of all...making some smores and eating hot dogs...

It was such a fabulous day...they boys could not stop talking about all the fun...in fact, there were tears involved when it was time to go. Luckily, we can go whenever we want! Wendy...thanks for letting me steal your pictures! You are amazing!

Easter Morning

We were still at Eric and Katies for Easter morning and let me tell you...Easter could NOT come quick enough for these kiddos...Way too excited!
Connor found his right away:)
Caden's was in the dryer.
After they found their baskets it was time for the hunt outside...We have: Brent, Caden, Connor, Noah, Taylor and Peyton.
Connor just loved sucking on the plastic egg...he wasn't so sure about the grass he was sitting on...
Seriously...I think we have enough candy to last the rest of the year!
Hope everyone had a fabulous Easter! A huge Thank you to Eric and Katie for letting us stay with them! We had so much fun!
