SURPRISE visit....





Tuesday evening we had a surprise visit by some SUPER HEROS!
These three showed up at our house...knocking on the front window!
Gabe rounded the corner to see them peeking in the window and he instantly said
"SUPER HEROS!"... That sweet little boy bought into it in an instant.
(I was not sure if he would think it was cool or not cool..tee hee)
 
 




They came in and explained that they had heard Bruce (our dog) was MISSING!
Gabe and Ella's eyes lit up... Then started walking around the house calling for him.
Sure enough he could not be found!
The super heros then told them that the bad guy had left some clues for them...
The clues were on blue pieces of paper..
The first one was in their room!
It said they had to drive to the place where you can eat rice and beans.
So to the door they went ..
And more quickly then ever, put their shoes on!
 










Loading up the super hero mobile...



The crazy driver..
(yes i made him take it off to drive!)



My spider man...



My princess...
 The rest is undocumented...
Probably for the best... that way the story can be 
best told by my two sweeties, who had one of the funnest nights of their sweet little lives!

For those of you wondering...
They drove around town to a couple of other places
and then the last clue told them to bring the bad guy some ice cream.
So to scoops it was..
Ella of course chose pink and Gabe blue..
And the bad guy, well lets just say mommy finished it off for him!
All in all is was pure fun and Bruce was found!

Thank you again for loving on my kiddos...
Josh, Taryn, and Tyler


more celebrating....

We had strict instructions from this sweetie that he did NOT want
the music played and no one clapping....

Happy #5 my sweet boy!!!!

five.....




Well we did it!!!! 
Our oldest turned five and we celebrated!

When Gabe told me he wanted a super hero themed party I was not real 
excited bc I was not wanting a spiderman/ superman theme.... 
But in the end I actually think it might have been one of my favorites!
I tried to stay away from specific super heros and just made all the kids the super heros!
It was so much fun....




 



 










 




 


 



 




Every kiddo was supposed to gear up when entering the party...
Each had a cape and in the bags were cuffs and a mask.
They all loved the capes but the cuffs and mask were not to much of a hit.
I was thanking the Lord all day bc it was not raining...
The only other birthday that we were able to be outside with was Gabe's first.
Thank you Jesus...





Many super men and super women helped us celebrate
 but here are a few pics of some of the cuties.
 










 







                                  My little princess did not want her pic taken all night...
                                               but finally in the end she willingly
                                                took one with me and I love it!!!!!

Ella and Leah.... man my princess is a little sass!




                                I hope these three keep this up.... they are best buddies.
