Mommy Denial

We went to the birthday party for The Prairie Kid's "first friend" last night. I can't believe (and definitely don't want to accept) that our boys are turning 4 this summer. These friends of ours lived locally until Dec 07 and then moved to California for over a year. Now they are back in the area but live about an hour away. It was nice to get to leave the ranch early and relax at the birthday party. I ate way too much and enjoyed every bit of it.

Here is a little reminiscing about their friendship...

Our first visitors at the house just hours after coming home from the hospital...The Prairie Kid is one day old and William is on month...

Here they are playing with another friend at small group...The Prairie Kid is 7 months old here And right around 1 year...

So, last night we celebrated William's 4th birthday. Sigh. Here is the group of cuties that played and played and played. They're just waiting to take turns to try to decimate the pinata.

Here is The Prairie Kid's turn...

Swing, Batter-Batter, Swing

But no one could break it so they resorted to pulling the strings and releasing the "trap door"

And the race is on!
