Regan’s PaRtY!

This is Party day.


This picture of Regan sums up nicely how excited he was and how much fun he had at his party.

We did a Toy story theme this year. Regan was briefly Mr. Potato head.

Little Green men cupcakes.

He was also briefly Woody.

I think everyone had fun.

So I didn’t realize until downloading pictures that we didn’t get any pictures of all the other decorations. Bums me out. I found these really neat Andy’s drawing recreations that we printed and hung up. I have them hanging up in Regan’s bed nook. Maybe I’ll get a picture of them there….

Anyway we had a banner, streamers, and TONS of balloons.

We played pin the badge on Woody, and get the snake in the boot. Here I am explaining that they would each get three tosses.

First little guy got it in on his first toss. I panicked at that point as I had promised prizes to all who got the snake in the boot. I thought I was going to run out of prizes… He ended up being the only one to get it in.

Regan was THRILLED to wear his hat and blow out his number three candle.

“Regan, say cheese!”

He did NOT want to stop playing to open presents. Uncle Josh had to get Regan’s little bear to comfort him as he was forced inside.

He got over the trauma of it all quickly. And enjoyed opening (Watching Josh and then Jon) gifts.

He finally got his super cape. He LOVES it. He HAS to wear a cape when watching Super Why.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one Jodi made for him. I LOVE that he has two. Meaning one to play with and one for back up when the played with one is in the wash. He has been enjoying both capes.

We got him Toy Story 3. He’s more excited about it than he looks.

He loved smashing his Emperor Zurg piñata. LOVED.

I reenforced the top, but the loop didn’t hold up to the pounding and Jon ended up holding Zurg by the horns and trying not to get hit.

It was a fun party and we really appreciate everyone who was able to come and celebrate our little man with us.

***I got all the cute ideas from people on pinterest. I just searched “Toy Story party.”

Wedding weekend

Jack’ee and Jason’s wedding weekend was lovely. Too tired to write about it, but we are SO excited and happy for them. I can’t wait to see the photographer’s pictures.

Papusas and Super Heroes

The weekend of Jack’ee’s shower we were SO lucky to have my Abuela travel down from Utah with my parents, brother, Aunt, and cousins. LUCKY. She taught me and Jack’ee how to make papusas. You know since she is “…dying and will never see you again to teach you.”

We are fairly certain Kaylee gets some (if not all) of her drama queeness (it’s a word. promise.) from her Abuela. We are also certain that Abeula is going to out live us all. But we are all still so grateful that Aunt Maggie and Abuela out voted my Mom’s, “It’s too much work.” And spent the many hours teaching me and Jack’ee how to make AWESOMENESS.

Also Barry brought his childhood cape (He wore his “SuperMan” all the time whe he was Regan’s age.) to get some sweet photos of him and the children “flying.” I would e-mail him photos while he was serving his mission, and he LOVED the ones of Regan wearing a cape, and was super excited to get photos with him. Kaylee of course couldn’t be left out. So she donned her cape as well.

Enjoy the random photos. I was cooking, and taking photos of everything allatthesametime. Didn’t want to miss a moment. It involved LOTS of extra hand washing, but was worth it.

When my Dad woke up from his nap. He took over the pictures. He’s cool like that.

Kaylee much to the DELIGHT of Abuela took off her cape and put on her apron to cook with us. She did amazing. She made two (with help) mini papusas.

Those not cooking or flying where well, flying. Jon set up his flight simulator up on the T.V. for all to play while awaiting awesome, delish, glorious food.
