1 Birthday, 2 Boys, 5 Ponies

Today...a dream came true for 2 little boys. Even though, technically, it was HENRY'S 2nd birthday, Isaiah enjoyed it just as if it were his!!!


There was 1 little pony outside the fence that the kids could pet. Isaiah and Henry were cautious at first...because some older siblings kept saying, "Watch out! It'll bite!" FINALLY, after much assurance from the owners, the kids understood that this pony would not bite or kick, so then they smothered the little pony.

Finally, the time came for the actual pony rides. Henry and Isaiah got to go on the first round. Then it worked out that they were able to ride every other round. For a whole hour, both Isaiah and Henry were either riding a pony or standing in the line to ride again. 

Aliya thought it was a disgrace to dress up the BOY ponies like girls. What can I say. She's kind of right....and these were definitely boy ponies!

After the pony rides, it was time for birthday cupcakes and PRESENTS! Isaiah was excited about his party favor--a book (about horses) and a sucker! The excitement soon wore off, though, and it was off to the hay bales!!!

It's hard to imagine ever having a better party than this. Definitely for 2 little boys, this was the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!

Because We're Cool

Maybe it's because they are two...maybe it's because they are so cute...maybe it's because they have 2 sweet girls watching them from the sideline...or maybe it's just because they are cool. Just a warning though, guys.  It might not be as cool 10 years from now if you're wearing a girlie helmet while sitting on a lawn mower in the backyard.  Then again...you might just be cool enough to pull it off.

Sweet Sleep

I love my kids. I adore watching them play, or laugh, or discover new things...but I especially enjoy those moments when all is quiet...and they are sleeping. I have to resist the urge to pinch their cheeks or kiss their face off.

It just so happened today, that I was able to capture one of those moments. Isaiah had resisted taking his nap...but after he finally allowed his eyes to close, he drifted off into cuteness!
