Birthday Party & Horses

We had a birthday party for the boys the Sunday after their birthday.  Hudson tried to talk to the minion cake IN MINION which I really wish I had on video.  So funny!!  I think he actually thought the cake was a real minion which was the best part!  8.24.14

The SnoShack stopped by too!  My kids LOVE snowcones!!  And it is super easy and not expensive. Love!

After the boys' party, we went to a Cardinals preseason game with my soon to be new sister-in-law, Kim and Jaafe's brother, Joe.  I would love to go to more games if it wasn't so far away!

Steel and Hudson got this racetrack from our friends Bryan, Berry and John David.  All three kids loved it!!  In fact, they have been playing with it everyday since the party!

Jaaten got a big girl horse!  Jaaten had told me she was over our pony, Frannie!  Huh?!?!  I told her she was too young to be "over" anything!  She kept telling her Dad she needed a big horse to be a cowgirl.  He caved.   I was really nervous about Jaafe getting her a big horse but this horse seems to be just what she wanted and we were hoping for.  Jaaten named him Journey (no clue where that came from) and she wakes up asking to ride him....everyday!  And Jaafe has been really great about taking her everyday. ;)  Last Saturday, Jaafe and Jaaten took journey to Jaafe's friend Justin's house to ride with his little girls.  There is no better way for a little girl to learn how to ride a horse than from other little girls.  Jaaten said she had so much fun!  Justin told Jaaten she is THE BOSS of that horse when she is on him.  Jaaten has been eating that up ever since!  She made sure she told all of us, especially her brothers, she is the boss because Justin said so!  Ha!!  She looks so small up on that horse!!  Jaaten is the little girl on the sorrel (brown) horse in the pictures.
