Regan’s 4th Birthday Party

Regan's birthday landed on a Saturday this year. So we had family and friends over for a Batman/super hero party Saturday morning. It was so much fun having LOTS of children running around, and Regan had a blast.

Regan has been in a "I'm only going to wear jammies today." phase for a monthish now. We got some really cute super hero hand me downs that he is LOVING right now, and insisted on wearing all day long. He wore these jamies for 36ish hours before I peeled them off.

I love how his pinata turned out. I made it EXTRA tough so that ALL 13 kiddos could have a wack at it.

Regan picked out his candle this year.

I made this pin  the bat on Batman game.  Black and white engineer blueprint from Staple, and then colored it in myself at home.

I used the pinata as the table center piece until it was smashing time.

We played musical squares. I didn't have enough chairs, but had plenty of party napkins.

For dinner we took him out to eat. He LOVES the french fries at Red Robin. LOVES.

He said he had a great day. Can't ask for anything more than that!

The weekend I turned 30

Jon was way too excited when the rest of my gifts arrived. So you get photos of me Au natural.

Meanwhile, MORE gifts?! Hello. Did he forget that he got me a Cameo? Not that I am complaining. Just pointing out how very spoiled I am feeling. In a good way. I really don't mind at all when the hubby spoils me.

Then he took me out to dinner which basically means I didn't cook for four days. Thursday, B-day dinner. Friday FSA girls night out. Saturday conference/party day. Freezer meal for Sunday. BEST.WEEKEND.EVER!

Shannon had this great idea to make conference baskets for all the kiddos. We love how they turned out. AND the kids LOVED them.

The girls got primmed and pampered (in the same room that had the t.v. for conference listening.) for family photos, and the boys "watched" conference. To be fair this was one 10 min sleepy spell. Also i must say EXCELLENT talks!

We got some cute photos of all the kids and families. Well really just a couple good ones of Regan. It was windy, and he was I thought suffering with allergies. He spiked a fever later that night.

Little man was snotty and miserable. The rest of us look great in this photo though.

This however is by far my absolute favorite photo of the day. Cutest photo bomber ever. And Kaylee and Regan's reactions crack me up!

My sweet niece Sarah is exactly 21 years younger than me. I love sharing a birthday with her. Every year I know that I will at the very least remember her birthday (17 nieces and nephews). She requested a pug pinata. Her favorite color is pink, so I made her a pink pug pinata.

And the money shot.

Birthday + Conference = perfect weekend.

Jon’s 31st

Jon decided on a quiet night at home this year. That didn’t stop me and the kiddos from decorating.

IMG_9750Kaylee and Regan decorated the pantry door with pictures of Jon and Balloons, and a game made up by little miss.

IMG_9760We are still not sure what the game was, but I had fun watching Kaylee tell all about the rules, and the boys playing.

IMG_9771The children picked out the sunglasses and I made Jon a Zurg shirt.
