Payton had such a fun 4th birthday party!  We celebrated with her on the cutest kid-friendly farm last weekend.  The Pond girls had a blast enjoying all the farm animals and hanging out with their buddies!<\/p>\n

Rara came to town to help me with a doctor\u2019s appointment the day before, and since Mike was working on Saturday, she also helped me take the girls to the birthday party.  Love her drop-in visits to love on us!<\/p>\n

Big horsey, little pony! <\/p>\n

This pig had a lot to say!  He was hilarious and had the girls laughing up a storm!<\/p>\n

I told Rose her eyes were so pretty in the light in the barn and asked her to show me her eyes so I could take a picture of them.  This is what she did.  She\u2019s so funny!<\/p>\n

Noelle is definitely our animal lover.  Always has been!<\/p>\n

Payton, Anna Kate and Avery are such sweet little 4 year old friends!<\/p>\n

Noelle was off feeding the goats before I could turn around!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0745\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Noelle was teaching Ethan all about goats!  <\/p>\n

\"IMG_0752\"<\/a> \"IMG_0735\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Kate and especially Rose enjoyed the washing station very much!  Rose was soaking wet by the time the party was over!  Of course she was, right!?!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0754\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the kids enjoyed playing with all the animals and eating cake and ice cream, they got to go on a super cute, fast little hayride!  That little tractor has some speed!  The kids loved it!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0756\"<\/a> \"IMG_0610\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Along with the pig, the donkey was quite entertaining too!  I\u2019m cracking up thinking about the crazy sounds they were making.  The kids loved it!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0761\"<\/a> \"IMG_0772\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Aww sweet little friends!  Payton takes good care of Rose!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0763\"<\/a> \"IMG_0767\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Payton and Anna Kate have always hit it off and played so well together!  They actually adore each other.  It\u2019s so sweet! <\/p>\n

\"IMG_0775\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I caught the birthday girl loving on one of the goats and enjoyed her special day!  <\/p>\n

\"IMG_0778\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Right as we were getting ready to leave, Anna Kate faced her fears and fed one of the baby goats!  Great job, Anna Kate!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0600\"<\/a> \"IMG_0604\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have some cool kids who love their friends very much!  Their fun, happy, encouraging, celebratory and friendly hearts make my world go round!  Wishing Payton the happiest of birthdays!  It was so much fun celebrating your big day with you, Payton!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
