Cameron hits the double digits!

A few months ago I mentioned to Cameron how big he was getting.  His response was “Mom I am only in the single digits!”  HAHA!!  Well, not anymore!  My first baby boy is 10!  I made the mistake, uh, well I showed Cameron a really cute idea I found on pinterest of an Angry Birds birthday party last fall.  The rest is history and that is where we went with all the planning.  I am not a huge birthday party thrower.  It is a lot of work and unwanted stress really!  But this just looked like so much fun I could not pass it up! 

First I painted the balls with Angry Bird and Pig faces.  The kids LOVED seeing these things!

There are SO MANY good ideas online of what to do at an Angry Birds Birthday Party.  I really had to pick and choose!  But this would most definitely be what NOT to do on the Birthday…

What a mess!  Broken glass and cake everywhere!  I made two cake mixes.  This one was to be used as hills and any landscaping I thought it could use.  Instead of making another I ditched the landscaping idea and went with “easy”.2012-04-04 12.23.53

Luckily for me we got the kids the angry birds game and it had all the things I needed!  I was NOT going to make fondant pigs as some of the people online had.  I used chocolate wafers as the wood and chocolate frosting as the cement to hold it together.  Cameron’s hushed voice when he saw it was awesome!  I love when I surprise them so much they are almost speechless.  And the cake was a HUGE hit among his friends.

APPY BIRTHDAY (since Angry Birds is an App!)

Let the fun begin!  There were 7 boys invited and they all came!  They had a blast having water balloon fights, Easter Egg hunt (the one to find the white egg won), Pop the Pig, and of course an Angry Bird launcher at the Pigs.

We were so lucky to have the best weather of the week this day!  I was worried with the water balloons if we would be able to do it!  Then Cameron got to open his fun gifts from all his friends!  He was so excited!

That cake has to be demolished!  Can you find the Angry Bird in the 2nd picture?IMG_3828IMG_3829IMG_3831

The boys had a blast and Jason and Melanie had just as much fun as if it were their own party! 

After the party Cameron got his present from Mom and Dad.  He got a new Mountain Bike.  He needed a new one and loves to ride it around the neighborhood!

Happy Birthday Cameron!  We Love You!!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
