Happy Birthday Cowgirl Layla!

YEEHAW! Our friend, Layla...one of the sweetest little girls in the whole wide world...turned 5 years old! Her parents threw a righteous cowgirl bash in her honor...complete with petting zoo and ponies! There was entirely too much fun going on...which often leads to me taking too many shots....here are some of my faves, then some compilations of more super fun shots, too.

there are many more shots on my flickr

You've gotta look closely, there's a LOT of fun going on..don't want ya to miss anything!

Happy Birthday sweet Layla!!!

Happy Birthday Natalie!

One of Mia's friends is now FIVE years old!!!!! Her parents, Geni & Kel, threw a fabulous party...jumper and all. Speaking of jumper...if you would have asked Sam what he wanted in the whole wide world...it would be to be jumping in that jumper with the big kids! He would not be thwarted! Check out Bonnie's view of the occasion to see all about it :)

Happy Happy Birthday Sweet Natalie

Happy Happy Birthday Orion!

Orion, our little friend, turned one! Yes, that makes him One-derful! Sara, Russ, Leilani and more of the family and friends celebrated the birthday boy on Thanksgiving morning...perfect way to say thanks for this sweet lil boy. Linda, Sara's mama, went all out with a super cute monkey theme. Monkey puppet craft, song with other monkey puppets '5 lil monkeys and a crocodile', a bean bag throw game with bananas and a hungry monkey, CUTE monkey cupcakes and an AWESOME goody bag with more monkey paraphernalia including a Orion's Monkey Mix CD loaded with monkey songs! She used to be a pro party planner...and it showed!

Too much fun was had by all...can't even write down half the stuff, so the next time you see me, just ask me all about it!

Orion got a gluten free pie and after a little help blowing out the candle, he dug in. Then, the rest of the kiddos had their cupcakes. It's interesting to see how many different ways kids can eat cupcakes....and then there's Sam. Oh, that Sam and his cupcake...then his brothers. You MUST continue through the oodles and oodles of photos for that yummy messy series below.

And then there's Sammy!

He takes the cake...literally.
