Ethan's Spy Birthday

 Our baby boy is 6 already! How did that happen? He is such an amazing boy. I am thankful every day that he is part of our family and that he is the big brother that his brother and sisters can look up to. He has had a great year in Kindergarten, doing great academically and socially, loves tball and all things outdoors. He loves jumping on the trampoline, riding his bike, climbing trees, and above all playing with his brother Tanner. He's a great helper and always has a great attitude about helping with his sisters.
So it's no question we wanted to celebrate and since it's an even birthday that means it's party time! This year we decided on a Secret Agent Spy Birthday party. 
I'm pretty sure I had just as much fun planning this party as he did at it.








 Once everyone arrived the kids decoded the messages that they received in their invitations. They were told they needed to diffuse the bombs to receive their next clue.

 
 Then it was on to the minefield where they had to figure out the right path without making an explosion.

 Now to find the water bomb with their matching agent number, unscramble the letters and disposing of the bombs! 


 Last but not least they had to navigate the hallway to find their guns for target practice.


 These boys could have done target practice all day! :)





 These girls weren't about to be left out of the fun! 
This almost 2 year old pair are the best of friends!


Happy 6th Birthday Ethan!
I hope you had a wonderful birthday party!

It's Tball Time

Ethan was so excited and ready for another season of T-ball. 
He just got better and his love of the game increased. He's got some great skills despite our lack of practice in between seasons so who's to know what he's capable of in the future. 
I just love watching him when he loves what he's doing!




These little troublesome 2 year olds spent their time climbing up a big red dirt hill on a quest to a little playground at the top. We learned quickly to dress them ready for the mud! Individually they are some cute little troublemakers, but when they are together...watch out!! :)



He especially loved having his best buddies on his team with him!
