Superhero Birthday Party!!!!

I had a really fun time planning the boys party this year.  Ever since Halloween Weston has been really into Spider-man, Caleb has been into Batman and well by default Tyson loves Superman :)  So we decided to make it a superhero party this year.  All of their birthdays are in the spring (t-Feb 29th, c-Apr 12th and w-Mar 11th) so it just works to do them all together.  This is the invite I used.  I didn't make them this year....too much this time.  I found them on etsy and the girl did an awesome job on them!  I was very pleased!
My sister of course made the cake and did amazing!!  It not only looked amazing it tasted amazing!!!  I'm so lucky to have her to do all our birthday parties :)
She did some cookies to go with it too.  They were so cute!!!
I painted this backdrop to have behind the table.  It's Gotham City...can't you tell???  It took a little bit of time but it was sure fun to use as a backdrop for the kids pictures.
 
I had 3 different tables for the food and cake that coordinated with all 3 superheros.  We had "wonder dogs" (hotdogs), "catwoman claws" (bugles), "joker's juice" (juice boxes), "marvelous mac-n-cheese", "mighty nuggets", "fighter fruit salad" and I can't remember the rest :)  I also did 3 different tables for everyone to sit at that coordinated with all 3 superheros. Somehow I didn't take any pictures of them :( 
Since we just moved back to Weatherford it was mainly just family at the party.  Cassy and Paul and their boys came but besides that it was all cousins. Here's Kai and Weston
Scary Batman....aka Eli
Cutest Batgirl :)
Super Aunt Mal and Super Nate :)
Super Pawpaw and Super Pops :)
My little Superman
My Batman
After everyone ate we did the Spiderman pinata.  My spiderman gave it a good beating :)
 
 
After the pinata was the best entertainment of the entire party.  Rick, who is like another dad to me, dressed up as Batman and came in on the tractor.  Batman on the beloved blue tractor....it doesn't really get better than that for little boys!!!  He was hilarious to say the least.  He didn't really know what to say or do and that made it more funny.  My boys told me it was the real Batman that flies from the sky.   
 
 
 
He sorta started acting like Santa Claus which made it even funnier.  They were sitting on his lap.  I think he was ready to make his exit :) 
I think these might be worth some money one day :)
Then we did cake!  I had superhero masks for everyone too....just cut out of felt and elastic tied on for the band.
We sang 3 times :)  First to my big 5 year old!!! (Spiderman)
Then to my big (almost) 3 year old!!! (Batman)
Then to my big 1 year old!!! (Superman)
We had been practicing blowing out the candle so he had to do it again :)
He went for a little fly 
Now it's time to dig in!!!  He knew just what to do....lots and lots of icing!!! 
 
 
This is my favorite....it's purple because the red and blue have mixed :)  Love that face! 
The amazing cake maker :) 
All my grandparents were able to be there too. 
We did a silly string fight in the yard after that too.  It was fun!
We got the boys bikes for their birthday.  They are loving them!!!  We've been going on many many walks in the neighborhood.  They love riding them on Pops long driveway too. 
One of our boys favorite toys in their big dump trucks.  They push them everywhere and load stuff in them.  It's been a favorite for a long time.  So we decided Tyson needed his own too.  So that was his birthday present.  He loved it! 
 
 
I made them all capes for the party with the letter of their first name on the back.  Nothing fancy....just cut them out of cheap black material, cut out the letters from sticky felt, and ironed on velcro tabs to take them on and off with.  Here's some pictures of them.
 
Mimi and Pawpaw 
Grams and Pops
My hubby who thinks he is Superman...oh I mean my hubby who is my superman! 
 
Cousins on my side
Cousins on Logan's side
My parents got them cowboy boots...this picture makes me laugh....spiderman in cowboy boots with sunglasses on.
Tyson got his new carseat from Mimi and Pawpaw.  He loves it and I love him facing the front!!
Fun fun day celebrating my 3 boys.  I love having them all together at one party.  It was a really fun day and great to have all of our family with us to celebrate.  I will say there was definitely something missing without all our Boerne friends there.  There will always be something missing at our parties without them there :)

Tyson turns ONE!

Well I didn't really know what day to pick to celebrate my little leap year's birthday.  Since he was born in February we went with February 28th.  He woke up to balloons all in his crib.
We always do a candle at every meal on their birthday....so here's his oatmeal :)
That night we did a little party for him with my parents. 
He didn't feel very good that day.  And for not feeling very good he sure knew what to do with that cake!  I think he loved it!
We sure love our Tyson (aka Chubby).  He is so so so much fun!  At his one year checkup he weighed 24 lbs and 10.5 oz (91%) and was 31 1/4" (97%) long.  He's a big boy and fits right in this family of big boys!!!  We love you Tyson! 
 Happy 1st Birthday!

Last few Weeks.....

My bath time boys.....they are getting big!
A few days after our trip I made a REALLY quick trip back down to Boerne for one of my sweet friend, Chantel, baby shower.  It was SO SO fun to see all of them and catch up.  I wish it could have lasted much longer.
Later that same week Jenifer was over in Weatherford seeing her parents and Brittany was in town seeing her parents so we all 3 got to hang out!  It was a lot of fun and a lot of boys!!!  And I guess I contribute the most :)  6 boys under age 5....really cute!!!
Brother fun....wrestling and lots of laughing!
Caleb gets sad when Weston goes to preschool so we packed his lunch and pretended that he got to eat his lunch in a cool lunchbox like Bubba.  He loves it because it's Batman!
Fun with Pops.....erector set....they were building a radar with it.  Weston loves this set that he got for Christmas.  It builds all kinds of things.
This is a motorcycle me and him made together.
Funny face.....Tyson "oohing" over and over.
Walking practice with big brother
We've started changing the look of Grams and Pops yard.  They bought a playset (aka "pirate ship").  It was quite a project putting it together for Logan and my dad but it's finished and a lot of fun!
Dinner at Rosa's for Pops 59th birthday.....love that Caleb is never happy in these group pictures :)
Spaghetti.....yummy!
Big brother helping brush his teeth
Crazy sock day at preschool
Weston is playing soccer again and is having a blast.  He doesn't really have a clue in the games but he sure does have a good time.  His favorite part is the gatorade :)  I love my boy :)
