Ethan's 5th Birthday

As tradition goes, we had Ethan's party at "tunnel park" (there's a tunnel that goes under the train tracks and that just rocks his little world). We had awesome weather and a great time!

Some of Ethan's bestest buddies - Drew and Erin Kruckemyer.

And of course his older sister that he secretly adores.

Only Thomas would do for this child again this year. He sure loves his trains.

I've got to quit having outdoor parties. It has been many years since a candly actually stayed lit for more than 2 seconds in these continual Kansas breezes.

Opening one of many great gifts he got - car stuff, train stuff, a Thomas comforter and pillow, clothes, and a big furry spider from Grandma Bettye!

I'll tell you what made his birthday - pushing Cam around in the "Cammy Cart", as he called it.
That is such an Ethan term.

Well it just wouldn't be us if we weren't jacking around. We even got Mom in on it.

Brad and Dad weren't able to make it.

Had to throw in a picture from my 35 th birthday, which was September 4th.
