Barnum & Bailey Circus

This year we decided to take the kids to the Barnum & Bailey Circus. The last time we went was when Ty was 2 yrs. old. So, basically this was the kids first circus. Oh what fun we had. I loved the circus. Brooke loved the circus. She was soo cute. At one point there was an elephant right in front of us. He was so close, you'd think he was looking right at us. Brooke was waving at the elephant. We had really good seats. We were the second row from the floor. I knew with all the animals Brooke would have a fit. She is my animal lover. I think Ty liked it but being a boy, he doesn't express it like Brooke does. I highly recommend the circus for children that are over 5. We went with my girlfriend,Dana, and her family. In the above picture is her son, Jared. The kids were all given fake noses. Ty wouldn't wear his.

Ty's Birthday

Boy, I sure manage to get behind on my blogs. Let's see If I can't get caught up. Ty's birthday was back on January 21, sadly we were not able to have a party. We had a bowling party scheduled, but mother nature had different plans. It snowed that day and their was no telling if it was going to stick. Sooo, we cancelled the party. We thought we would reschedule but after talking with Ty, we told him if he didn't want a party we would buy him a WII. Of course, he chose the WII. That game system is so much fun. Since we didn't have an actual party I don't have many pictures, but here are a few.
I had make a cake for someone else, so I had made some cupcakes. That was Ty's birthday cake. Not really, we ordered him a cookie cake, but it didn't make it home to take a picture. Everyone ate it in the car on the way home.lol
We also went to dinner at Benihana's. The kids always enjoy the cooking, just not the eating.
