Birthday Pics.

Here are some pics from Matt's party on Sunday. For some reason, I could not get into the party mode until about an hour before his party. This party was completely on the fly and very last minute. We had planned to have it outside because the weather HAD been beautiful until Friday. We were going to rent a bounce house, let the kids play in the backyard, and do the pinata from the tree. Instead, it poured, we canceled the bounce house, and let the kids play in the garage. All in all, it was a great time.

I always make Matt's cake and I have always known a few weeks ahead of time what I would do. Not this time. I didn't know until Sunday morning if I would frost and decorate or make a dirt cake. I had been leaning toward a dirt cake and by Sunday at 12:30 it seemed the most logical thing to do. It was soooo easy and it turned out cute. All I did was bake a chocolate cake, make chocolate pudding, and crush up Oreos (which were on sale!) and mix them together. I also stuck gummy worms it the cake and decorated with some other candies. Not too bad...
Matt loved it! Actually, all the kids loved looking at it but loved eating the mini cupcakes.

Pure white trash, a fiesta in the garage :)


The vultures diving in. There is even a mom in the group, you can't see her in the picture though.

Matt still in awe over all the candy. There was sooooo much candy in that donkey!!So much that the kids took what they wanted and I still filled up my Kitchen Aid mixing bowl to the top.





I love this picture of the boys. It reminds me of grown men looking at tools or a new truck. Very cute!

i know what you mean about looking at your little boy and seeing a man- it's so cool to think of how we are raising men!
