Five!


He did it! 

And he did it in style. 


 He turned FIVE!



We served the L'il Emperor his breakfast in bed and the stinker was wide awake and just waiting for us. He knew it was his turn and he was not getting out of bed until we brought it to him! 

I then sent him and his sisters off to Vacation Bible School while the big the boys and I put the final touches on his Big Party! A pony party. I know. I know. It sounds like we may have gone a bit overboard for the the little guy. But, I bid on and won this thing at an auction for a homeschool co-op. I ended up getting it for way under the value..... and so, the boy got a Pony Party!


Meet Rosie!


Rosie was a big hit with all the kids..... except, Asher really couldn't have cared less. 

Naturally. 

He rode her once, but could not be bribed to ride her again. 
He said he wanted to play with his friends.







Which was really fine.
Because it left plenty of pony time for others!


And they thoroughly enjoyed it!


Sarah and Maddie


There was a mile long line for Rosie!

 Almost as long as the line to throw water balloons at Asher's brother! 
Noah was such a good sport and let all the kids soak him. Of course.... some of the kids looked like they had been on the receiving end too when it was all over with!

 Like Asher!

And to make things even more fun....


We had a face painting station! Sweet Tricia got hearts!


And Gray got a cool snake!

Even better......



We had teenagers serving ALL-NATURAL Snow-Cones!

What?

You didn't think I'd let a little thing like snow cones take me down, did ya?
We had four flavors and they were a big hit!

Without high fructose cornblah!


Asher, Gavin and Colson enjoying a cool treat!

And Asher enjoyed the afternoon, 
which had perfect weather by-the-way, 
with some of  his best buddies! 

 Stephanie and Abby were a big help too!
 


CJ is such a good friend, 
he came to Asher's party and it was HIS birthday too!


Actually, I think everyone pretty much had a blast! Even the littlest party goers!


What a crew!
Thanks to everyone that came out and made his day!
 

 It was definitely special!


Happy Fifth Birthday to our L'il Emperor!
 It's been so fun to celebrate your life!
