Stephen's 5th birthday party

I realize I haven't blogged in quite some time.  Its for good reasons and I hope to get back soon.  Not right now.  I have some things to work on.  With racing coming up soon I am going to start watermarking my photos.  I don't want my photos used or copied for other peoples use.  So for good reason's my blog title will be watermarked on the actual photos.  I wanted to put Stephen's photos up from his birthday and so I am doing this post with out the watermark, but from now on I will be doing family pictures and any with my children watermarked.  So I know their are some friends and relatives that like to print them out for their own use. Just email me and I will be happy to send you the file without the watermark.  ANYWAYS!!

Stephen wanted a Toy Story  Woody party!  Bart had the great idea of Stephen dressing up as Woody so I bought the cowboy boots off ebay for $9 and that included shipping!!  The hat came from party city for $1.99!  He is wearing his PJ shirt and a pair of old jeans!

Jade Ramey made the cake.  Look her up on facebook if you aren't already friends!  Let me tell you that cake was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!

one food table.  After Jackson's 10th bday party my husband kindly told me to go easy on the food money.  I spend like a TON of money on his party and it was all a big mistake.  Hardly any food got eaten so we sent it home with a bunch of people and alot of it got thrown out. :(

Stephen LOVES gum!!!  So I wanted to do some cute little decorations  to fancy it up!!

We had BBQ Cocktail weiners.  So I named them Slinky's Dog.   I love making me some  name tags for food.  They might be corny, but I think it gives it a special touch!!

Fruit and Veggie tray.  aka Mr. Potato Head's spare parts!!

You saved our lives, we are eternaly grateful!!  complete with aliens just like the movie!!

Aliens without their mouths!!

More gum balls!

We had over 20 kids and I think it was an awesome party.  Just wished I would have taken more pictures!

Celebrating Jackson's 10th birthday!

Wednesday night at Church I surprised Jackson with a cookie cake from The Great American Cookie.  One of his faves!! 

Saturday we invited his football buddies over to celebrate.  What other way to celebrate?  With Football of course!  They played football and we served them some tailgate food!  Below are some pictures from the party!  We had a good time!  Lots of smiles from sweet little boys!

Loved getting to do some ideas I found on Pinterest!!

Opening presents!

Aunt Jo holding Grace, and Pam holding Jayden!

Had to take the ring pop away from him ;)

Love the expression?!?!  Not sure what he was thinking!!!

This is where Aunt Holly was telling him it was really hard for her to buy him GT stuff and that she must really love him for her to buy him that!!

I love that Jayden is looking down at her little sister and the smile from Holly and Jody is sweet!

Hay ride time!

Don't worry Maddie Kate didn't drive, papa did!!

Most of the kids that rode the hay ride.  They all had a ring pop!

ring pop out for a good smile!!

Priceless!

They all had a soda and a ring pop!

I had a photo booth, but sadly we were the only ones to par take in it :(  They boys had to much fun playing football.  boo

Over all it was a great party, good turn out, good fun and great getting to see everyone.  BUT most of all it was a blessing to see Jackson happy!
