Reptile Fun

Today we went to a birthday party for Brayden's best friend. He had a reptile party and the boys were in Heaven.

 The snake was going in his shirt

These baby tortoises were 3 days old. They grow to over 200 pounds and can live to be 100-120 years old.

 This tortoise liked Brayden. This is what they look like at 1 year old.

This tortoise is roughly 15 years old. He'll continue growing and will get about 40-50 pounds heavier.

Brag on Bryson!!!

Bryson is in Kindergarten this year and they had their year end award ceremony this morning. Each child in the class got an award and his was the Academic All-Star award. 

Then he got the Boy PE award for the ENTIRE Kindergarten (there are roughly 120 kids in Kindergarten at his school) AND he got the Boy Music award for the ENTIRE Kindergarten. 

He also has not gotten his clipped moved off of green all year long. I am so beyond proud of him!!!

Nerf gun birthday party

 We had Brayden's nerf gun party last weekend and it was a blast. None of the kids were ready to leave when the party was over.

The candy bar was a huge hit. Each kid got to fill a bag with whatever candy they wanted.

Some on the yummy food.

 The kids flew through the drinks since they were running around outside.

Happy birthday, Brayden!

Shark Party!!!

Brennan turns 4 in a week and we had his birthday party this weekend. He really wanted a shark birthday party. I had a lot of fun planning this party and thought it turned out pretty cute.

Brennan saw this cake online and really had his heart set on it. My sweet friend, Nicole, did a fabulous job and Brennan squealed when he saw it.

Shark fin and life preserver cupcakes

I made some signs for the party since the park we had it at is a little hard to see from the road.

My 1st attempt at doing water bottle labels, and I think they turned out pretty cute.

Shark tooth candy necklaces

Shark gummies

Swedish Fish

I'm not sure if you can see, but Dustin cut shark bites out of the sandwiches

I made some shark infested jello...these were a big hit!

I haven't had a chance to pull the pictures off my camera, but here are a few pictures from my phone. My friend, Nicole, did an awesome job on the cake, cupcakes, and cookies!

Bluebonnet pictures

Our friend, Maleigh, took pictures of the boys in the Bluebonnets this week. I'm amazed at how easy it was this year compared to years past. The boys are really growing up.

Last year we had a severe drought and there were no Bluebonnets. Our friend Erin took these pictures for us instead of our annual Bluebonnet pictures. If you want to check out even older pictures, here are our Bluebonnet pictures from 2010, 2009 and 2008. I can't believe how fast time has flown!
