September 29 & October 17-18, 2009 - Everett's Birthday

For Everett on his birthday, we took him to the East Texas Fair. It was the last week they were here so we splurged and let the kids ride some rides for a little cheaper than normal. The kids had a blast riding the rides. We thought they might get scared, but they loved it.

After rides, we let the kids go fishing one time. They both won a sword.

Even though it was late, we let him go ahead and open cards and get his present from us. Justin built this little table and Ella helped me paint it. We think it turned out cute and he loved it (of course, so did Ella).

October 17 - Day of the party. We mainly invited family and a few close friends.

Everett loved the bounce house.

We don't have a picture of the candles/cake - if you do, please email it to me in high-res so I will have one. But, we do have a video. Click here to see the video. (p.s. If it won't open, then right click and "save target as" and choose somewhere on your computer to save it. Once it's downloaded, you can open it on your computer wherever you saved it and watch it.)

It's present time! Everett was opening presents and you'll notice a sad face from Everett. That is because Everett opened the present Ruby picked out for him. Ruby walked off with it and it made him sad. It was a happy ending since Ruby returned it!

The bounce house wasn't picked up until Wednesday. The kids had a lot of fun bouncing on it on Sunday before everyone left town. Ella and Everett continued to bounce on and off Mon - Wed till they picked it up - totally awesome since we only paid a one day fee! :)
