Pumpkin Carving Party

Cinco De Colby!

I totally wanted to throw Colby a "Cinco de Colby" birthday party, being his 5th birthday and all. He was desperate for a batman party. But I told him this way we could have a pinata, and he was all for that!

His adorable cake made by my best friend Emily (Check her out here!). I told her to make it look like a pinata texture, isn't it cute?

We had a burrito bar, yummy Mexican food :)

The 'mixed drinks'... I wanted it to look like cocktails on a beach or something. :)

Cousin Ashlyn. Also, the little treats in front of her? Mini-Mexican pizzas! To die for!

Cousin Megan. Apparently I wasn't so great at giving advance notice of pictures!

The little kid table!

Parker is so good at showing me what a good eater he is. LOL

After they were done eating, they got to decorate Maracas! And how adorable are those party hats?

 My sister and her boyfriend. Super cute. And... pretty dorky. :)

She is gorgeous, isn't she?

Kaylee chose to decorate herself, instead.

Hershey is rather festive too!

Blurry picture, but he only left this hat on for about 2 seconds!

Beating an animal with a bat- cruel or a fun party game? Uncle Chicken-butt helping Parker out.

Look at that swing!

The birthday boy!

Something about this picture seems so wrong. Diving under a battered animal to gather up its guts?

Poor decapitated donkey.

Five candles, already?

Present time! Every present he opened he said "I wanted this!!!" It helps that he's in that stage where he wants absolutely everything he sees.

Crazy cousins. LOL

Enjoying cake and ice cream after a fun day!

Sesame Street Live!

We were able to take our little guys to Sesame Street live! The show was all about Super Grover losing his super powers, and several of the cast members became super heroes in the process. Perfect for my sesame street & superhero-loving little boys! There was a lot of dancing and singing, we loved it!

The Birthday Boy!

Colby turned five today!  He is such a bright, happy little guy! He is so stinkin smart, it kills me! He loves to play, jump, and shot. He is ALL boy, fighting and climbing!

But also there's his sweet soft side. He still loves to cuddle up to me in the couch. We giggle as we sit in jammies and talk about our day. He is so kind. He is willing to share, and loves to teach Parker everything.

He's so brave! And he is always up for something new. His favorite animal? He says Lions!

                             

I am almost afraid to send him out into the world. He is such a perfect amazing boy, with such a bright smile and a calm temperament.

 But I know he is going to rock it. People will see him as the fun kid who is always up for everything.
 

I am so glad that this little ray of sunshine came into my life! This has been the best five years ever! I love you buddy, happy birthday!
