Calling All Super Heros...Ethan's 5th Birthday




 
Picking out a theme for Ethan's Fifth Birthday was quite easy this year- Superheros!  The party planner in me could have had a field day with all the fun super hero party things available now.  This was our very first party to not host in our home, which made everything quite simple and limited my super hero decorations!  I just had to learn to "sit on my hands" and watch the My Gym staff do their thing!  We always do a birthday banner for the birthday boy and this year's happens to be one of my favorites.  What can I say, you can't go wrong with Etsy.  This banner will end up in a Ethan's room or playroom.  


We realized Ethan's bike was way to small and gifted him new bright orange bike.  He woke up at 6 am to find it downstairs.  So this momma sipped her coffee and watched a bed headed Ethan riding before anyone was awake in the neighborhood.  



 

We gave Ethan his first set of golf clubs for his birthday.  The morning before the party David took Ethan to play his first official 9 holes.  I think they both enjoyed it!  However, next time little brother gets to go!  He was bummed when he did go:(  What can I say Bennett lives for sports and the kid is barely two!  We just have to find him left handed clubs.  



The party at My Gym was a blast for all.  The staff keep the kids very entertained from one stunt or game to the next.  Ethan had some of the biggest smiles I've ever seen!  The party favor was the super hero capes I found here which made the super hero party!  Our littlest guest got a pink super hero socks and headband set from Target.  We handed out the favors at the start of the party and kids were precious running around doing stunts with their capes blowing in the wind.  The kids were thrilled to take them home.  Before Ethan blew out his candles we surprised him with this Green Lantern Super Hero costume.  Part of the My Gym Party is coming out on this motorcycle.  We thought it would be fun to dress him up as his new favorite super hero.  Not sure where he learned of the Green Lantern?!  The kids ate chocolate or vanilla cupcakes make by a local baker who seems to nail every cake theme I give her!  After all the fun we took Ethan to his favorite restaurant PF Chang's where he laughed his way through dinner with his cousins.

Bennett's Bowling Birthday Party



Back in February we celebrated Bennett's 2nd Birthday.  What type of birthday party do you have for a toddler who adores {actually obsessed with} any type of ball during the winter months?  A Bowling Party!  Since Bennett is my little shy guy we kept the party small as possible with just immediate family.  We met everyone at the local bowling alley for an afternoon of strikes and spares.  While we bowled my handy crock pot cooked my kid favored meat ball recipe at home.  Everyone then met back at our house for a spaghetti and meat ball sit down dinner.  Keeping Bennett's favorites in mind we had Gigi's Cupcakes in the wedding cake favor for his birthday cake.  The kids wore personalized bowling shirts that they took home as party favors.  The big laugh came at the end of the night when two strangers walked straight into our house into our living room for a party before realizing they were in the wrong house!  I still can't believe my sweet Bennett Stone is two years old.  








he is such a little Mommy's boy and I soak it up!

Argh...Ethan is 4





This past weekend we celebrated Ethan's 4th birthday with a Pirate Party.  Four seems so big!  David and I couldn't be more in love with the little boy Ethan has become.  From his sense of humor to the  love he has for others amazes us every day.  We celebrated the party on Saturday with friends and family.  Sunday we took him to see the Lion King.  It was a special birthday!
