8th Birthday Party!!!

When your mom finally lets you have a birthday party after a 5 year drought, you go big....

or go home!!!

We went big and visited our favorite local spot.... Paulus Farm Market. 

It . Was. AMAZINGGGGGGGG

When can we book next year?? :-) 

Blessed with the most amazing cake in the world... thanks Annie!! 

amazing evening of playing all over the farm. 

joseph's happy place....

i mean, if you can't take your friends to Disney, try the next best thing! 

The kids got to run around and play,

then feed the animals! 

then take a hayride and pick a pumpkin

then we partied with quick foods, and our amazing cake! 

and some after sugar rush play in the covered areas! 

a BEAUTIFUL night!! 

with amazing people!!

When we got home, we watched some of the PSU IOWA game....

interestingly --- on the night you were born Joseph, a PSU IOWA game occurred in Happy Valley.

it was to be redemption. 

instead, PSU fans got you!! !:-) 

Most fun was watching you open your cards and watch your Conquer Run total add up!!!

I loved watching your excitement to raise money for kids with cancer. 

May your heart stay this kind .

ALWAYS
