Ethan turn's 5!

Ethan had a great 5th birthday! All he asked for was a dinosaur cake and he wanted to go to Cherry Hill water park. Well we couldn't go to Cherry Hill on his birthday but that was one of his presents he got to enjoy later. (those pics coming soon) So we decided to take the kids to Sparetime with Aunt Brandi and Uncle Jared and their cousin Kayden. Their Uncle Jake came as well to bowl with us. So we went bowling and played games in the arcade. Then went home and had cake and ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa Barton and Aunt Annie and Uncle Chris and their other cousin named Kaden. He had a great day and we will be going to Cherry Hill soon to celebrate some more. Ethan also has been wanting a pet. Mostly he asks for a dog but I'm not quite ready to take on a dog with three small children so we gave him some hermit crabs as a pet. He was so ecstatic and loved em!Ethan with his new pet crabs. He named them Crabby and Crabber!
This is crabber. He is a friendly little guy and seems to be very adventurous.
Crabber and Crabby. Crabby is the one in the pointy shell and is really crabby! It doesn't like to come out of his shell at all.
Uncle Jakey with Addalyn. She isn't sure about him just yet.
Ethan's very first bowl of his life.
He insisted he could do it by himself and didn't need daddy's help so he walked up set it down and gave it a good shove.
And away it goes.....
And then Kayden helps Ethan celebrate!
Cambree's very first bowl of her life.
Gave it a push and......
Hooray...she knocked down pins.
All the kids had to watch each others ball slowly make it's way down the lane.
Kayden was constantly checkin on the baby and rocking her in her car seat and talking to her.
Aunt Brandi helps Cambree push her ball down the lane. Cambree would stay in this position until the ball knocked down the pins.
Cambree celebrating her knock down of pins!
Ok...7th frame and I'm tied for last place! What!?! How did this happen!? I suck at bowling! That's why I am on the kids lane.
At the end of the game I pulled through and ended up winning out of the kids lane! woosh....I was getting worried about getting "schooled" by small children all under 5 years old. I only won by 1 point though so I guess I can't brag too much and we had "bumpers" in our lane too. Did I mention I suck at bowling!
The three little musketeers having fun bowling! Gotta love the next picture with the hugs!
We were trying to have a little family photo op but Kayden insisted he be in the pic too! Gotta love all their different expressions.

I couldn't help add this one. Isn't she just adorable! :)
Tickets...tickets...and MORE tickets!!

Uncle Pec helping all the kids put in their tickets to the ticket counting machine to see what prize they could pick out.
Uncle Jakey came to help celebrate too!
I couldn't help put this picture in the mix. cambree thinks Uncle Jakey is the bees knees!! :)
Ethan's requested dinosaur cake! And for all you who know me well, you know I'm not a cake person at all! I don't even make regular cake in a 19X13 pan let alone make it look like a dinasaur. So I'm tootin my own horn and saying I think I did a pretty good job! Ethan absolutly loved it and thought I was the BEST mom EVER!! and that's what counts anyway. :D

We were all visiting in the living room and then noticed Cambree wasn't there. I went to investigate and this is what I found. Sneaky little thing loves cake. Really it was more like frosting. :)
