Dane's 3rd Birthday!

I know that I say this every birthday, but I CANNOT believe that Daners is already 3!!! He is growing up so fast and is becoming more and more independent every day. He is the comedian in our family and always keeps us smiling and laughing. He was soooo excited for his birthday at Makutu's Island mainly for the skee ball! He also is so happy that he is 3 now so that he can go to preschool. Every day he says he has preschool today and I have to remind him that it doesn't start for about 6 months, but he can't wait! He also is looking forward to taking music class and playing soccer, which will all start sometime this year. Daners had a blast at his party and was so happy that the Ropers and Uncle Sam were able to come and celebrate!

Happy birthday sweet Daners! We love you so very much and feel so blessed that you are ours! You are so silly and so much fun to be with! You are such a blessing to our family:) Thank you family for coming to the party and celebrating Daner's special day. Also, thank you for the presents and phone calls. You all helped Daners feel very special and loved! Thank you so much:)

Monster Jam!!!

Since our kids our obsessed with monster trucks (the are constantly watching the You Tube clips) of any kind, we thought they would LOVE to go and see Monster Jam...and we were right! Sam came along for the fun and baby Beau stayed home with a babysitter because we didn't think his little ears would enjoy all of the crazy loud monster trucks! 

  We didn't anticipate how loud the trucks really would be so, $40 later (an expensive mistake to say the least), the boys had monster truck ear protectors that they didn't want to wear because they were too tight...nice:)

 But, they loved to wear them and take silly pictures then hurry and take them off:)

 The boy's and pretty much all Monster Jam fans' favorite truck is Grave Digger!!!

 It was so exciting to see him especially because the announcers said he wasn't there, but then he came flying out while his theme song "Bad to the Bone" was blasting! We all LOVED it!!!

Metal Malisha was also the adult fave:)

 This is a bad picture, but one of the trucks lost a wheel. The crowd cheered with excitement whenever a truck got damaged.

The boys (Ben and Sam included) said, "it was the coolest thing they had ever seen!" Going to Monster Jam will definitely become a yearly tradition in our family! So fun!!!
