Blue Bonnet Pics by Rick

When our friends, the Smiths, suggested we take the kids to a blue bonnet patch just up the road from our neighborhood a couple of weeks ago to snap a few pictures, I wasn't expecting professional-grade photos.  But, Rick used his ninja photography skills and borrowed a fancy lens , and behold...the best blue bonnet pictures this bunch has ever had.  Rick took every single one of these pictures, and I love them all.  Thanks Holly and Rick!

Birthday@Babes

Although we had Liam's birthday party on Saturday, it was my actual birthday.  A Star Wars party is great and all, but after Liam's t-ball game, I opted for dinner at Babes to celebrate.  The very best part is that most of my family filled the long table, and with them there is always happy chatter, laughter, and love.  Babes chicken was as fantastic as ever.  And, I wore a chicken hat.  And, I did the Chicken Dance.  They did the Hokey-Pokey.  I blew out a candle that was stuck in a biscuit.  It was great. 

Liam's SW Birthday Party: Before

Liam is kind of a little bit obsessed with Star Wars at the moment, so this year's birthday party had a galactic theme.  Here are some pictures of the party prior to the party animals arriving.

I ordered most of the printables from Simon Made It, and just tweaked them a little to fit my needs. 

Williams-Sonoma had the Chewbacca cookie cutter.

The invitations came from Shutterfly.

I made the stickers for the fruit cups and Yoda soda, and Jon drew the Yoda table decorations.

Liam's SW Birthday Party

Twenty kids and twenty-five adults (not including a stranger and his child acting as party-crashers) joined in the Star Wars fun at Liam's party.  The Frontiers of Flight Museum has a little something for everyone (bounce house, FOUNTAIN DRINKS, a kiddie movie theater, friendly staff, aircraft exhibits for adults, a large enclosed play area for kids, FOUNTAIN DRINKS, little planes to climb on, the Coca-Cola Cafe, an air-traffic control tower to climb, and FOUNTAIN DRINKS).  I would definitely recommend it birthday parties.
