Copening's Cowboy Corral

Tyler had a big 30th birthday party on the 23rd of July. It was cowboy themed. The general idea was that, Tyler was WANTED. Someone kidnapped me to get the ransom money and left ransom notes at various locations. Tyler had to follow the ransom notes to get to me. Before he could get to me though, he was taken into custody by the sheriffs, who brought him to the party.
Some of the guest anxiously awaiting the birthday boy's arrival.
Jennifer in her cowgirl getup.
Mom C. in hers.
Reach for the stars!
Oh no! I've been taken hostage!
When Mama was putting this belt around Tyler's waist, he said, "I hardly know you." It was all Mama could do to keep from laughing.
Tyler on his trusty steed.
He was so disoriented when they took the blindfold off of him. (It was on to prevent him from knowing where he was going.)
Emma and Evan enjoyed surprising Uncle Tyler.
This crew was a great big help in setting up and tearing down. Thank you!!

Pinata time! Vivian got to swing first!
Evan was giving it all he had!

Emma was really giving that thing a beatin'.
Even Tyler couldn't break it with the plastic bat we had. Eventually, he broke it with a thick stick.
Goodies!
Picking up the last of the pieces.
The pinata was of a cowboy boot if you couldn't tell before.

Yay! Workout socks!
Thanks y'all for comin' to my party. Hope y'all can come back around real soon!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to everyone who helped out with this party. I couldn't have done it without everyone's help. We are really blessed to have such wonderful people our life.
