The Gopher's Birthday

Happy Second Birthday to the Gopher. It is hard to believe that he is two. We have a tradition of birthday donuts. So here is the Gopher with his donut. We sang happy birthday and the sisters helped blow out the candles (after he tried to touch it). For his party we decided to have a cowboy/Rodeo party since his now rolling around the house. The invitations said Rollin, Rollin, Rollin, and we certainly had a Rollin good time.

Since we were having a cowboy/Rodeo themed party, we had a wagon wheel cake. Plus round is easy. So the Gopher had his own little cake with candles. He needed a little help from his sisters to blow them out, but he enjoyed the cake part.

Who doesn't like cake (except maybe cousin Kacie). But the Gopher sure does. This year he was able to get his hands into the cake. I don't think much of what he touched made it to his mouth, but he had fun making a mess. His Daddy and sisters helped with the getting to his mouth part.

He wasn't too interested in opening presents, but the Bear and the Goose helped him out. He got lots of new pajamas and some new toys too.

The following is the Rodeo part of the party. We tried to get Spencer to ride the goat, but he wasn't interested. So Brandon decided he would give it a try. So here is our addition to America's Funniest Home Video. Note, no children or goats were injured in the making of this clip.
