Case and Cole 1 & 3

The whole family traveled 12 hours to Oklahoma in order to have a birthday party for both of the boys at Chester’s Party Barn. We had a great turn out, the day was beautiful and all the kids who attended had a wonderful time. I feel so lucky to have such amazing friends and family who were willing to share the day with us. The first order of fun was checking out the petting zoo. Ponies, lama, goats, bunnies chickens and more were available for the kids to pet.

This super soft bunny drew quite a crowd.

Cole socalized with the other babies while the older kids played in the barn. Hello Tripp.

Clean up time! Those farm animals can be a bit dirty.

Next order of business was the highlight of the party. PONY RIDES! As you can see the pony rides drew quite a crowd. Scott, daddy, Uncle Quinton and Grandpa Bobby stood by waiting for the action to begin.

Uncle Jason, Whitney and Seth Alexander and Nana all lined up to see the kids ride.

Cole sat on the side lines while Case got saddled up.

Everyone had to wait their turn while the horses got ready. Case waited around with his cousins Hanna and Aaron.

Finally, a pony ride! Case had been waiting for this moment all day! He hopped on like a pro and rode a different horse every turn.

Everyone was able to ride a pony and most kids rode several times. Case never missed a turn.

Giddy up partner.

After the pony rides everyone moseyed over to the party center where the kids could have their faces pained and play on the karaoke machine while the adults socialized until the hay ride began. Can you believe Cole and Xavier are the same age?!

Case originally wanted a pair of shoes painted on his face but finally decided on a horse since he enjoyed the pony rides so much.

Load up and move em' out. It's time to for a tractor ride.

The kids called in the livestock and the horses and cows came up to the side of the tractor.

Did I mention that the horses and cows came right up to the side of the tractor?

After all the fun and excitement everyone was ready for cake and ice cream.

Cole tried a cup cake for the first time.

At first he was excited to grab at it without anyone taking it away.

Then he nibbled on the frosting.

But after a finger lick or two he was done with the cake. Maybe round 2 back in Colorado will be more messy and exciting.


With cake in everyones bellies we were ready for presents.


Presents, presents, and more presents.

Everyone was just too generous. We brought home an entire truck of presents!

The day at Cheste's Party Barn was wonderful and I hope the boys had a birthday they could remember as fun, exciting and special. However what truly made the day special was that we were surrounded by so many of our friends and family. Thank you everyone for making the day fantastic.
