Birthday Boy

A cool rock star shirt for a cool dude

He doesn't like it....at all.

Waiting for party guests

 Knocking over soda cans with a wiffle ball.

It looks like he is showing Alex how to do it, but she was the first to try!

Go Lucas Go!

Ryan scored!  Woody (actual movie size) from Lucas and Alex

Buzz Lightyear from Busi (Boo-shee) and Grandpa!  Now he can act out scenes!

Forgive the quality of this picture.  And if you can't tell, it is red...blood red Dracula teeth sitting on top of those cupcakes!

It wore him out, but sadly he also got sick.  Thankfully that waited until AFTER the party!

Party Time!

Party Number One of TWO!  

Because when you turn 13, it's a pretty big deal.

Playing Minute to win it games.  This one involved an empty tissue box with ping pong balls inside.  It is attached at the waist and the person tries to get them all out in 60 seconds or less without using their hands.

A lot of different techniques were used.

Back Bends

Jumping

Even handstands

No party is complete without silly string!

 Fun was had

It didn't even matter that it was over 100!

The tongue helps with focus.

Yeah it was hot!

This teen had an awesome time!

Party number two was family.  I didn't get as many pictures there.  But still a good time was had.

Love that baby!

Do you recognize those kids with Kristin!  Love them too!  All in all it was a very busy and crazy day.  And I know the Lord gave me strength to get through that day without falling apart or DOWN!  hahaha.  It was a lot of fun.  I do believe I will not do two parties in one day again if I can help it.  

Birthday Celebration

We finally celebrated my birthday over the weekend.  It was a fun time with family and friends...friends who are family!   I was treated to a yummy dinner that my mom and sister made.  And cake that was somewhat Weight Watcher friendly.   Can you say presents???  Oh yeah!  So can I.  I got:  a necklace and earrings to match that my sister made.  Really pretty.  She also got me a stylin' blouse...size medium than you very much!  Yes, it fits.  My aunt sewed me a beautiful pillow case.  My mom got me a dvd of Blazing Saddles.  I have not seen it.  Yeah, I know.  She also got me a little Halloween snow globe to add to my growing collection. 

But that is not all....

Emmy brought me flowers.  It was so cute, she let Lucas bring them to me.

 She also supported my vice. And earlier in the week she took me to breakfast.  The only kid present...Ryder.  He slept.

My MIL sent me a gift card for Micheal's.  So far I have bought this yummy candle and something else not to be disclosed at this time.  I still have a lot left on the card, just trying to come up with a cool project.  Any thoughts?

All in all it was a fun birthday with lots of laughter and happy sounds!

Happy Birthday, Mom
