BIG 3-0

Happy Birthday to Erik! He turned the big 3-0 on Saturday. As Eliza says, he's "tir-dee" (say it out loud hehe). He got a very special present - something that he's wanted for a long, long time!
It's already a huge hit. Eliza calls it the "big phone."

Erik wants the exact same cake every year. Chocolate cake, chocolate icing, snickers on top.


After the birthday celebration, we went over to a local farm that had a pumpkin patch. It was awesome.

Eden liked to play with the hay.

They had a huge stack of hay bales with different slides coming down. Esther went straight for the tallest one, but once she got to the top she realized that she wanted a little help coming down.

Eliza saw another little girl getting her face painted and decided she wanted to give it a try. She giggled the whole time.

Such a beautiful butterfly. Every day we talk about going back to the pumpkin patch to paint our face again.

Once Esther saw the awesome butterfly, she wanted to give face painting a try too.

After the face painting, everyone wanted to jump on the big air bouncer.

Thirty and still a hottie.

I think Esther's favorite part of the whole day was playing with the wagons. She loved trying out every one.

Hooray for the pumpkin patch! We didn't get any pumpkins this time but I'm sure we'll be back once or twice before Halloween.

  3. I second Hannah's comments. Amy, we are totally going all out, dressing up and doing midnight party, so you REALLY need to be here. Ok, so no one has agreed to it except me and Hannie so far, but yeah, it will be awesome.

    I think Erik turning TURD-ee is quite crazy. I can't believe he got that incredibly cool toy that I also hope to own one day.

    DANG your kids are CUTE.
