Ethan's party

Our very good friends had a birthday party this weekend for their oldest son, Ethan.  He is also know as our future son in law or Elizabeth's boyfriend.  Sadly they look more like each other than they look like their respective siblings (Liam and Anna Kate), who coincidentally look like siblings also and are also pre-determined to be soul mates.
Anna Kate continues to make us laugh with her fierce independence.  She put on her helmet and would not let us take it off, it earned her the nickname of special child.  The helmet was so heavy it would on occastion make her lose her balance and topple to the side.

Yes, all the moms thought this is super funny.  But she was just as proud to have not have anyone touch her helmet.
The party of was a Mario Kart theme and all the kids went on a bike parade.  It was super fun and the kids really enjoyed it.  Such a different idea for a party.  Please note Anna Kate on the right side on her tricycle.

Being on the outside was not good enough for Anna Kate, she moved up into the middle of the pack, creeping around the kids (now on the right in the back)

Anna Kate starting to cause a bottle neck..

Anna Kate being left behind because alas she could not peddle the tricycle and I wasn't going to bend over and push for a 1/2 mile.  I did indulge her and take her up and down the street for a bit.


Elizabeth and the red balloon.  Am I the only person who remembers the movie of the french kid that is in black and white except for the red balloon he keeps trying to catch?  I always remember it from music class at Tomoka Elementary.

This is the best picture I could come up with of Ethan.  He is the blondie in the green shirt looking at his super awesome cake.  Like a good brother, Liam is on his right beside him waiting for cake.


Elizabeth learning how to climb a tree in a dress...oh dear, we screamed, we yelled, and yes we all saw hello kitty panties.
