{Ashton turns 7} Outdoor Movie Night Birthday!

Every year my sweet Ashton amazes me with his birthday party themes! This year when he was throwing around ideas and came up with watching a movie outside he knew that was the perfect idea.

I started working on a invite and used One Charming Party's cute circus invite as my outline and designed it to look like a movie ticket and a fun birthday invite...

He also wanted me to include movie tickets for the guest to bring to the show to get in. I loved how the invitation turned out all put together.

Ashton was so excited it was finally his birthday and all his best buds were coming to his movie party! He wanted to help in every detail of set up and and make sure everything was in the perfect spot.

So glad my Dad and husband are so techy or this party wouldn't of happened. Our screen is made out of a used vinyl billboard I bought on ksl and cut down to 15ft by 8.5ft. We put grommets in it and used bungee balls to make it nice and tight. Our frame is made out of aluminum pipe and PVC for the legs. 

We made these cute ticket boxes for each of our concessions....

We served Pizza, Hot Dogs, Nachos, Salad & Veggi cups, and of course Popcorn, Candy, and Drinks 

Ashton is always thinking ahead of what his guests will like and he didn't want all the cupcakes the same so that everyone would find one that they loved!

When his movie guests arrived he was the cutest greeter and took their movie tickets and gave them each their movie baggie. Each kid got a 50 tickets, a glow stick, silly glasses, and a ring pop 

Each of our moviegoers had their red carpet pictures taken in our photo booth... it was so silly and fun! 

Everyone got to spend their tickets at our concessions and eat on the lawn. 

Ashton loved blowing out his candle and opening presents!

As soon as it got dark enough outside the kids opened their glow sticks and we started our show!

It was such a fun party celebrating my big 7 year old! He was such a cute party planner and woke up the next morning asking if we could do his party again that night!! I love my sweet snuggle bug and feel like the luckiest mom in the world! Happy, Happy Birthday!!

{Chris Turns 30} Vintage Golf Party!

This weekend I helped my sister Holly throw a surprise 30th birthday party for her golf loving husband! We loved the idea of having everyone dress up in old time vintage golf outfits, so we rolled with the idea of a vintage inspired golf party!

...

Golf Cart Cake

Centerpieces

Main Food Table... 

Dessert table... and we made a
timeline banner with pictures of him from age 1-30!

Back Nine beverage bar with Putter Punch and a Water Hazard

 Party Time!!

We had a table with vintage accessories so people could add to their outfits

{Mom in her cute pink and lace spectator outfit won best dressed!}

We had a mini golf course set up and had a leader-board to track the winner

{Dad was the winner with a 1-1-2}

"Chris has done a lot in 30 years, lets see how much you can do in 30 seconds!"

We played 6, half minute to win it games, but our by far favorite one we had the birthday boy do... They tied tissue boxes full of marshmallows around their waists and had to shake their backends until all the marshmallow were out!
It was historical!!

Lastly we finished with everyone sharing memories of Chris from the past 30 years!!

Happy, Happy 30th Birthday Chris! We love you and are so glad we got to celebrate you!!

{Classic Fun Party!}

Jude loves all the fun new activities at classic fun center. So since his birthday is in November and it makes it harder for us to host a party at our house or be outside, he decided he wanted to go jump with all his cousins!

We had pizza, and cupcakes and ice cream.

And the kids got to jump, climb, skate, and play the arcades!

Jude got to collect as many tickets as he could in the ticket cube, and got to spin the wheel to win a prize!

Jude is so lucky to have such a great group of cousins (plus Aunt Chelsea and Uncle Brett not pictured) who made his birthday the best! Thanks to all who helped us celebrate and made Jude feel extra loved on his special day!

{Jude is Four!}

Today my jude turned 4!!

He woke up to his room full of orange balloons, and had waffles with four candles in it for breakfast. Then we rushed off to our 9 am church where they sang to him in primary and got a treat from the bishop. When we came back home Jude knew exactly what he wanted to do next... open presents!!

Ashton gave him a Chima Lego speedor, 

and we gave him a buzz lightyear scooter!

Next he want to swing and be outside... 

which was great, because I needed to start baking his cake!

Then we headed over Grandma and Papa Boyers

for a yummy taco dinner and party!

(Thanks for all your hard work Mom and Dad!!)

He was so cute open his presents! He didn't really understand the "wish" someone something, but Ashton had no problem helping him out.

This big four year old wanted a blue cake and the big center piece!

We love birthdays and we love the joy jude brings to our family!!

Happy, Happy Birthday!!
