Summer Track

This year the boys joined the summer track program. We didn't make it to a track meet because we were gone on vacation.  However, we thoroughly enjoyed some of the practices. They were the youngest kids out there. We will definitely have to work on form and want-to, but they did pretty good. 

Superhero Birthday Party 4 1/2

As I usually tend to do, I went a little overboard on the twins 1/2 birthday party this year.  It was a  Superhero theme and the boys were Super excited about it.

Mimi sewed 20 superhero capes and embroidered each one with a different superhero character for boys and girls that attended the party.

Mrs. Keva came down with her family and stayed the weekend with us.  After making the cake on Friday night, we spent ALL day on Saturday before the party decorating the back yard.

This was the city scape that was going to be the back drop for the cake table.

This was one of the games we had set up.  Each "Evil Villan" green balloon was filled with candy.  One at a time, each child was given a Nerf gun with a dart that had a tack glued to the end.  When they shot the "Evil Villan" the candy fell out like a mini pinata`.  All of our Superheros had a chance to take down the "Evil Villans."

Unfortunately, about 30 minutes before the party started it began to rain and hail.  At first I thought it might be a quick little shower to cool things off and then it would be over.  I was wrong.

It rained for another 45 minutes after the party started.  We had to move everything and everyone inside.  It was God's way of telling me that I over plan.  Everything turned out alright.

Even our "photo booth" had to be moved inside.

After a while, the sun came out and dried out the water and we were at least able to play our balloon pop game.  The kids loved it.

It was a SUPER fun birthday party.  Happy 4 1/2 Heath and Hunter!
