.party time, excellent.

The Saturday after TJ's Birthday we had his friend party! He handed out invitations to a few friends at school. He told me he wanted to help and this is the design we came up with. He wanted a motorcycle jumping picture and Pokemon. Makes me smile looking at it, his very own creation for sure!


Here's my Birthday masterpiece for the occasion. Its a pokeball (no clue what that is) and a fondant Pikachu.

We took a few pictures before the party started. He wanted one with is Birthday gift.

Only 2 more years we can take a Birthday picture with how old he is on his fingers. I liked that I asked him to hold up how old he was and he held up two, 4 fingers instead of 5 and 3 like I would have.

Party favors.

We pretty much played the exact same games that we did for Gage's party. They liked it just as well and it was nice not having to come up with anything new that way.

Pizza again for lunch. They were having a special at Papa Murphy's for heart shaped pepperoni pizzas. TJ's wasn't too happy about that.

It was a beautiful day, the boys had lots to do being able to play outside and inside as well. I must say though, I'm happy to be done with parties for awhile.

.six.

Gage had his very first friend Birthday party this year. This Birthday was on a Saturday, so the party was exactly on his Birthday which was fun. We ran the invitations to his friends a few days before and counted down till the big day! He wanted a 'Rustler Car' Birthday theme, (his new remote control car) but I was able to broaden it to 'Race Cars'.

I had fun researching and getting party ideas. We saved cereal and graham cracker boxes for weeks and I made traffic lights out of them. It was very easy, cute and inexpensive!

I also made this banner our of checkered material and some binding.

The cake was a huge project for me, like always! We spend two hours on this puppy! Gage was there helping me the whole time. Its a race track in case you can't tell!

Party favors for all the kids.

We first played games. First with balloons.




Then more with balloons, this time races.

Push the ping pong ball across the room using only your nose.

Then 'pass the car'. Basically the same as hot potato with a hot wheel car.

The whole group...

then down to three!

Open present time and heavy, heavy hangover.



Pizza for lunch!



Birthday boy!

The whole gang! This is my project 52 for this week. Had to do some head swapping!

make a wish!




My sweet love of a husband who was SO much help! Thanks babe!

Mandatory picture with Mom as thanks for such a great party! ;)

Grandma Kerry came up that afternoon and gave him this fantastic tool set. We attended the Temple for our ward night and she stayed over and watched the kids!
