FIVE!!!

My boys are officially five and we did our first "kid" party!  I thought I would make it easy and go with just boys and kept it to two hours.  We also has a soccer game in the mix, so we went with Saturday morning.


We did a space theme this year and I didn't go too Pinterest crazy.  Space is such an easy theme for fun things, but I just didn't have any great decorating ideas with it this year.  We still did a few fun things.  

 

 

 

The first thing on the agenda….SILLY STRING!  I think all the boys had fun with this one.

 

 

 

 

Next was a trip to the moon.  I didn't get any good pics, but we had some black paper and made the storage room into the "moon".  We had a bunch of moon rocks (rocks with silver spray paint), and I covered the floor with bubble wrap, so lots of popping when all the boys were in the room.

 

Keith did a few dry ice experiments for the kids

 

 

 

 

Piñata - the boys were so excited about having one!

Cupcakes and snacks

Then they played like crazy in the basement!  Overall, I would say things went pretty well!  

BABY SHOWER

My girlfriend Nicole is due with a little boy late July, so Autumn and I did a little shower for her.  So much more fun planning showers with the power of Pinterest!  

 

Check out these cupcakes!  Autumn picked them up at Scratch in Des Moines and they were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!  I went by on Sunday to pick one up, but they are closed on Sundays.  I tried a couple kinds, both were awesome.  

Autumn found these fun drinks, sherbet ice cream and champagne- fun and tasty!

 

My friend Jackie gave me this last-minute idea.

 

Keith was a trooper during the shower and took the kids to a couple different parks.  Not too bad with the boys but Olivia can be challenging since she is entering the turbo mobile stage.  And it was a bit toasty that day.

When they got back Jess was there with baby Jace.  Olivia was giving him all sorts of hugs.  And this picture officially makes her giant.  She was LOVING him!

Can't wait to meet Baby Boy B. this summer!
