Ella's Backyard Jamboree


We had a blast at Ella's 3rd birthday party yesterday. Let me tell you, Steffani and Carol know how to throw a party! (Ok, I'm sure Chad had a little something to do with it, too...) They transformed Carol's beautiful backyard in Buda into a farmland jamboree, complete with petting zoo, pony rides, bouncy castle, an amazing balloon-twisting-artist, yummy food, a crazy cool cake, and creative (and very generous) party favors. For some reason we didn't get any pictures of the beautiful decorations - probably too busy petting the baby goat and donkey - so you mosey over to Steffani's blog for her report and more pictures than ones of just Spencer. I had to swipe a couple of pictures below from her blog, too...We didn't take tons of pictures because we were busy having fun!

Was hard to get him out of the bouncy castle!
Like herding kittens, but here are all the kids together
Corn box = major fun
My little buckaroo
Let's mosey over there
My handsome little guy
Holding the sweetest little bunny
Daddy found a furry friend, too
This little goat was only a week old
Separate corral for the big-little-animals
Pretty magnificent cake!

It was awesome to see how confident Spencer was when riding that sweet pony, Ginger. He climbed right up and didn't even bat an eye when the guy leading him around starting "clucking" to get the pony to trot. Spencer got the biggest smile as he came galloping toward us. A couple of short vids:





It was a wonderful morning celebrating a sweet girl who puts a smile on the face of everyone she meets. Happy third birthday, Miss Ella! And a big thanks to you, your mommy, daddy and Nana for the hospitality and party to remember.
