1st basketball game and TWO birthday parties!

Oh my goodness, what a busy day!! Basketball and two birthday parties!

First up, Eli's team (The Nuggets) played the Spurs in his 1st basketball game of the season. It was so much fun to watch them. Coolest part of all.....Eli scored the first basket of the season!!! Woo hoo!!!

The kids play different positions throughout the game - here Eli was the point guard. He does really well dribbling down the court. 
Let's go Defense!
Get 'em Eli!!
My little basketball heart smiles watching them play. 
Silly face!

After the basketball game, I took Cole to his friend Sona's 4th birthday party at a farm. I thought it was super cool but Cole wasn't very thrilled when chickens (free roaming) came up to us. When we got there, we were given a bucket of feed and could go see / feed the animals. There were chickens, goats, bunny rabbits, pigs and a llama - pretty cool! The kids all got to see and feed the animals and then we went on a walk through the pasture. Farmer Mary talked to us about the property and animals. Then it was cake and pinata time. Cole wasn't too interested in eating, he much preferred swinging on all the neat swings.

Hello Mr. Rabbit
Cole was ok with feeding them
He was not too thrilled when the goat came to get it out of his hand. There's Farmer Mary!

Cole LOVED the swings. Looks like a perfect thing to get for Grandma's house. =)
This tire horse swing was cool. 
Hello Mr. Goat
And Mr. Llama - wonder if he's mad at his mama? 
The kids had fun trying to break the pinata. It was a tough one to break open!
Lots of fun candy and Halloween treats inside. 

After Sona's party, we all headed to celebrate Evan's 2nd birthday (our sweet little E!). Thankfully we were the first ones to arrive so the boys go to enjoy the huge Monkey bounce house by themselves before the rest of the little people arrived. The party was a super cute safari / animal theme.

Cole must have gone down the slide 50 times - he partied himself out!

Eli was so sweet and left Evan a message on her driveway. 
Happy Birthday Evan!!
