Ethan’s birthday!

Ethan turned 5!! Can’t believe it! We had a nice little cupcake party with our family on his birthday. Chocolate cookie dough cupcakes, so fun. Got him some nerf guns that provided some good entertainment. Love Ethan dearly, and he’s getting so big.

Lately, Kevin never wears a shirt. It’s hot, and he’s being a boy. That’s what I tell myself:)

Swimming lessons! Third year for Ethan with Miss Sandy, and he’s taking off. At 5 years old, he focuses better and is really becoming the swimmer.

Our little party for Ethan. We tend to keep it small and simple. Grateful for our friends. We loaded up a cooler with otterpops and capri suns, along with the cupcakes. That’s all kids need, and they were quite content to play in the water and gorge on the otter pops. Love it. Love my cute banner I got off Etsy.

Daddy attacking with water, ahh! It’s always so fun to be one of the few parents that gets wet with the kids. Other grown ups watched us as Shaun and I got super wet. It’s great.

That’s our little party. We’re simple folk. All you need is good food:) Gotta go conquer this week. More swimming lessons, and hopefully a ton of rock removal from our backyard, sweetness.

  1. Thank you for keeping it simple. So refreshing to read about. A relaxing, happy, meaningful kids birthday party. I would relate in detail a birthday party that I recently attended that is the opposite of what you described, but it would be on the internet forever, and that wouldn't be nice.

  2. Happy Birthday to Ethan! And don't you just love splash pads. The one at his birthday looked really cool. :)
