Tate's Transformer Power Ranger Party

Things NOT to do at a five-year-old's birthday party...have a scavenger hunt for the "ALL SPARK." Why?? Because, everyone wants to find the next clue, everyone wants a turn, and feelings get hurt and then the crying starts! Won't repeat that one! (Picture of the All Spark below...which contained the goodie bags.)

Things TO DO at a five-year-old's birthday party...have Dad make the coolest Transformer cake ever! We have nicknamed Brad Martha Stewart=) Oh, another side note...buy enough "wheels" (ding dongs) for all the kids to have.
Another great thing to do...PLAY SPIN THE BOTTLE...no really!! We had all the kids sit in a circle, holding their own present, and Tate spun. Kids loved holding their presents and giving them to Tate and no one crowded in. Great game!!

One last thing that we did that was a success, we made mini pizzas...bagel pizzas that is. We let the kids make their own. It was so cute and they were excited to eat their own creations.

Happy Birthday Tate!

I can't believe that my baby is five! This is his school picture from preschool.

Family Pictures

We had family pictures taken. We love how they turned out and wanted to share them with you. You can look at her blog to see a few or you can go to her website (the link is on the blog) and see all of them. Enjoy!

Dad's Slumber Par-tay!

Brad made a deal with boys that if they earned so many stickers by doing chores and such, that they could have a slumber party upstairs on the blow up mattress. They had a blast!

Happy Seven Years Brad!

It's hard to believe that it has been seven years. I wouldn't change a thing!

Tate took this picture of us...he thought it was so funny that I would jump on Daddy's back.

And just for a trip down memory lane...plus I really like using my scanner (it's for work so it isn't perfect for pictures, but it's still fun)

Brad, you amaze me. You are my greatest support and strength. I love you.

Tate's Camera Obsession

You'll have to tell me if you kids do the same thing, but Tate wants to capture everything he does. It started out with him always asking me, "Mom, can you remember this?" This would be every time he moved his Power Ranger into a different position. Now he wants to take a picture of everything. Below are some that he has taken. I guess he just doesn't want to forget anything!
