Amir Turned SIX?!?!???

I really don't know when my kid grew up. First Kindergarten, now he's 6 years old...

*tear*

We had a Minecraft birthday party for him. It was a BLAST. So glad we decided to do it at an arcade instead of doing a freebie at a park. Here are some photo's from that...

This cake is just too awesome for words. I'm awesome. ;)

 Yes, we all had "festive" Minecraft shirts...

 His face in this one is priceless.

 And his friends had such great reactions to everything. I love his friends!!!

 And there was "mining" for goodie bags. Super fun.

4th Birthday Party

Today we had Amir's 4th birthday party. We had a Pumpkin party at the park! We had cupcakes, the boys played in the pond and caught little fish & the kids painted pumpkins. The party turned out really awesome. Lots and lots of kids! Amir had a lot of fun with all his friends and family at the party. THANK YOU to everyone who came and made it great!

And now for a few pictures, of course... :)

Some of them are pretty blurry since he was sugared up and couldn't sit still. Ha ha ha.

5 Days 'til Christmas!

Richard & I got a kit from Costco for making a gingerbread house. So we put it together last week. It turned out pretty awesome.




In other news, we went to the MonaVie Christmas party on Friday. It was pretty awesome. For entertainment they had Kurt Bestor play. He is GREAT! They also gave out his CD as the Christmas gift for the employee's. That and candy, popcorn and the DVD; The Polar Express. That part I was pretty excited for. :)

We also went and saw baby Gus (who was born on Tuesday) he is the cutest baby I've ever seen!

Anyway, FIVE DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS!! WOO HOO!!! I'm getting really excited!

Birthday

The Saturday following Amir's birthday we had his birthday party. We went to the park to celebrate. I decided to not rent a pavilion because it was too expensive and I didn't think there was going to be anyone doing anything in mid-October. We arrived and set everything up and shortly after we got there a wedding party came over and started setting up. Turns out they didn't have it reserved either. The place they did reserve wasn't covered and it had already started to rain. We only needed two tables so we didn't care that they were there as long as they didn't care we were there either. And they didn't.

Right before we started some people showed up and said that they had reserved the pavilion and that they had a whole bunch of pumpkins coming etc. So we moved over under a little snack bar shelter thingy. We had to wipe off all the tables because they had been out in the rain. I just want to go on record here and say that the people that kicked us out only used 4 tables and didn't say anything to the wedding happening on the other side. I'm a little angry that they kicked us out and had a bunch of tables. Plus, they had a birthday party too so I don't think it would have mattered. OH WELL. We still had fun. We sang happy birthday and the wind blew out the candles for Amir. I think he was a little confused when everyone cheered for him when he didn't do anything. HA! He was so cute when he saw the cake. He kept saying "MMM! Cake! Birthday!" He didn't even finish his piece before heading back over to the cake to have another taste of the frosting. Yes, I let him take a little swipe of the cake before we cut it. He is so cute. After that we opened presents.

Shortly after that, we got Amir out of his clothes and took him home. He was so cute in the puddles but I'm pretty sure those boots he was wearing are ruined forever.
