ETHAN TURNS 7!!! And 17 awesome kids came to help us celebrate!!

We had a huge swim party for Ethan's birthday this year, and it was SO FUN! The kids had a blast! Afterwards we went home and proceeded to TRY to make cookies (didn't work out...lol) and play with some of Ethan's new toys...Yesterday was long and crazy, but in a good way. :-)

Here are some great photos from the party and last night... cheers!!!

 Ethan's little girlfriends!

 So handsome....and so grown up!



 His first time off the diving board!! Peer pressure...
 There he goes!


Ethan and Holdy...so cute!


 Chilling in the hot tub....

End of Summer fun...!

The end of summer came fast, but we all had so much fun!

We made two trips to the fair (because of the kids schedules), and we ate WAY too much! I don't know why I think I can eat 5000 calories at once and not feel like I'm going to die, but I try to do it every year! 













I also spent a morning at Ethan school cooking breakfast for 24 crazy kiddos!



Can't wait for the Fall season to really get started! We've got Ethan's birthday party next Saturday, and it feels like the holidays are just around the corner. This is my favorite time of year!
