Monster Truck Party

MONSTER TRUCK BIRTHDAY PARTY!

Ok so every year, my husband and I decide on no more parties at our house. We've been saying this for the last 3 years... of course we waited till the last minute to decide what to do that we ended up having Jacob's 5th birthday party at our house. There's not much that I can do differently except change themes and use different colors..... So.... this years theme was monster trucks. Jacob became obsessed with Grave Digger a few months back that the theme seemed very fitting. I actually love the colors! Let me rephrase "party" It was more of a small gathering. Just a few of Jacob's friends. It doesn't take much to make him happy :)

Texans 1st Game of 2014

Football Party

1st game of the season for the Texans so we had to celebrate! Pool party with lots and lots and lots of food!!! So it was football and eating all day long! Texans got a Win and we got to party. 

Football field table with a few sweets 

 I didn't get to take a picture of all the food but this was just one of the many foods on the menu

 Im pretty proud of those "bleachers"

Foam Glow 5K

FOAM GLOW!!!

So..... this was NOT my idea. A certain someone asked if I wanted to do it and it spun off from there. We had a great time (except for the running part lol) We were soaked from head to toe from all the foam. I think my toes were an orange color for a few days :) Can't wait till the next one!

 Pre Foam Party

WE ARRIVED!

You can tell who was late! lol

Minutes from starting the run

Sorta clean still!

My face was already stained with the pink foam and pink dust!

1st Day of Pre-K

1st Day of Pre-K

The day finally arrived! Feels like I closed my eyes and time flew by. I woke up that morning,  sat up and wondered what my baby would expect that morning....While pregnant, when I felt his little flutters in my tummy I would sit and wonder who he would look like, what kind of personality he would have, the first steps and of course his very 1st day of school. I just can't believe that day has arrived! I just wasn't ready for it... but he was. He kissed me and waved goodbye- no hesitation-  and walked away and entered his "big school" .... 

He had a great first day and I'm sure he'll have a great year! My baby is no longer a baby....

Jacob's Pirate Party

"Pirate" Party

I am going thru all these old pictures and realized I skipped over Jake's 3rd birthday :o 

Haha! Well I really didn't do much for this party. Party theme was inspired by his Halloween costume- PIRATE! soooo..... we went with that 

This was the picture I used for the invitation
