Party Time!

Matthew and Austin Airborne!

As tired as we were last night, I can surely say that our son had a fantastic birthday. From start to finish, he loved every moment of yesterday. We started the day with pancakes at Cracker Barrel and ended with a second wind of slide time and pizza. We wanted him to have a special day. We talked about it and talked about it, so when the day finally arrived he was totally pumped!
We rented a slide with an obstacle course from Air-time Inflatables. They were wonderful! Originally we were scheduled from 3-7, but they asked us to set up early because they were already going to be in Nicholasville. So we ended up with the slide from 11:30-7:15! We got a deal! With the chance of rain, we moved the party to 12:00. It poured one mile from us, but there was never a drop of rain where we were. Thank you God! We prayed and prayed over the weather. God is good!
We had the party at mom and dad's because of the back yard. It was the perfect spot! There was plenty of room for the kids to run around. Mom and dad worked so hard to get everything set up and ready for the party.
In the end there were 50 party guests. 21 of those were kids. Austin loved having his family, friends, and school friends. He is so excited about all of his new toys! Thank you , thank you to all of you who celebrated with us! Austin and Matthew LOVE all their new toys!

  1. What a cute picture of us! I guess that I should've worn my white shirt, though. :) Thanks for having us yesterday. Allison had a blast! I'm glad that Austin did, too.
