Birthday Bash

We decided to have Asher's birthday bash while my mom was here for Antique weekend and my dad could come for the weekend. I had been getting things ready for a few weeks before so the night before we just had to make some cupcakes, get some food ready and finish a few little things. It had been forecasted to rain since we planned the party, but we lucked out and had a great day on Saturday. We did a cowboy carnival theme and had lots of fun at the park. We ate hot dogs and pulled pork with lots of different sides and then brought out the hit of the party - a cotton candy machine! I think Mabel takes the cake with her love for cotton candy that day - I think she had 3 of them! Asher didn't really care for the texture, but he loved his cupcake later on. We played a few cowboy games having stick horse races, playing horseshoes, bean bag throw and roping the pony. I was so glad the kids loved the stick horses and loved taking them home with their cowboy hats. Asher had a lot of family and friends there and we are so glad that they could celebrate with us. We finished the party with cupcakes and gifts and thank everyone for all the awesome gift that Asher received. He sure loves all his new toys and books! We weren't too good at taking pictures and celebrating so if anyone has some that they want to share we would love you to send them to us. Here are some we were able to get!

so so sad we missed it. i think i mentioned stick horses to the boys. you may have to show me how to make them. i'm not sure they even realize that we missed the party. it's probably better that way. can't believe these guys are all get so old so fast.

I have plenty of pictures, but most are on Mike's camera and he doesn't have a cable here to download. when he gets to Mexico he can download them and them send them to you. Thanks for a GREAT Party!
