The day before we left Kentucky was Erin's 6th Birthday!! She got to open a present and then we headed downtown for Thunder Over Louisville. It is a huge kickoff to the two week party that preceeds the Kentucky Derby. There was an airshow with fighter jets, helicopters, and stunt fliers that lasted almost five hours. There was lots to see. We had a bird's eye view from grandma's office tower on the 31st floor overlooking the Ohio River. Once it was dark we were able to watch the amazing fireworks show. Every time a heart firework appeared Katelyn and Ethan would tell Erin it was just for her- because it was her birthday. How sweet! We had a great time with grandma and grandpa and Megan, Andy and Jason. We're missing you all!
When we got home from KY Erin's bday gift from us was waiting. Her new light blue bike and helmet. She had to wait until the next morning to ride it, and she did great! No more riding her brother's "old junker"!
This is my sweet baby Erin 6 years ago! I love her so much and can't imagine my life without her. I didn't know how my heart could grow enough to love another child, but it has, and more. Erin, I love your personality and spunk, your peacemaker skills, your tippy-toe walk. I love that you are a good student, always willing to help, and such a great sister. You make me smile. I love you Erin!

Erin seems like such a great kid, and I love the little mother-daughter bond that the two of you share.
We were always out of town on my birthday, but it made them so memorable! Now Erin has a b-day like that! She's a cutie! I love that she loves light blue.
Your family trip to Kentucky looked SO fun! You guys sure didn't waste time while you were there. How fun! I bet it was one of Ern's favorite birthdays yet.
That giant bat was very giant! Cool! I loved all the pictures!
Your family picture from Easter was beautiful too!
That sounds like such a fun birthday. I'm glad you guys had so much fun.
OK Erin is so cute, I love the baby pic of her you put up. I remember holding her as a little babe. Tear jerker to say the least :o)
