Tyler's 3rd Birthday Party!

I finally have all of Tyler's birthday party pictures uploaded! 

Enjoy :) 

Tables set up in the garage. I bought the caution tape at Lowes. 

 Tyler sneaking some snacks before people arrived!

 The drink station! The cone cups are from Celebrate Express (super neat online store for all different kinds of parties) 

I also bought the yellow cups from there too since I couldn't find any in the stores. They were the same price as the solo cups. 

Funny story.. I cut up a bunch of lemons for the drinks.. and forgot to get them out! I was so bummed!

 I taped caution tape all over the place!

 The snack table. The dump truck idea came from Pinterest. It's filled with cheese puff corn. The cookies were made by a local woman. I made the veggie tray. The candies were a last minute thought. I thought it would be neat to color coordinate them! 

 The present table - the cedar chest. 

 Reese Pieces, Reese Cups, Lemon Heads, and orange and yellow star bursts. 

 The kids loved the popcorn! 

 Looking back I should of cut the HUGE baby carrots in half.. oh well, they still ate them! 

 I think it all turned out pretty cute!

 Caution tape in the door way. 

 on the windows. 

 Snacking on a pudding before the party goers arrived. 

 The kids table.

 Another view of the sanck table.

 I had Matt air up balloons to throw in places. 

 The cookies looked awesome! I gave her a picture of an idea I had and they look identical to what I asked her to make!

Waiting for visitors!

 The chaos has begun! 

 These kids all tore his room apart in about 3 minutes! But I'm glad they all had fun!!

 The kitchen is always a hit!

The boy is Paul, and the little girl you'll see in other pictures is Catherine. Glen and Allison brought them along. They were SO well behaved! 

 Snackin' 

 Visiting!

The menu: 

Fried fish & frog legs

fried potatoes 

broccoli cauliflower salad- made by me 

baked beans- made by my dad 

cornbread- made by mom 

strawberries 

Big shout out to mom and dad for helping out with the food- and to dad for hauling his fryer out and frying everything! It was a big relief to not have to cook everything!

Yum! Wish I had a frog right now! : ) 

 I love these potatoes! They're always a hit! 

 Dad's baked beans! They were so good! 

Chowing down!

 The boys ended up wanting to sit on the bar : ) 

 Malinda doesn't like her picture taken : )

 He loves his party hat from Rata's! I always keep them for his scrapbooks : ) 

 The overflow of people in the garage. I know our house is Small- that's obvious. But I love the homey feeling of having his party at home, so I'd never have it anywhere else. So until we get something bigger/or add on, everyone will have to be in close corners : ) 

 Driving his cookie! HA!

 The kids loved the party blowers that I got!

Hanging out in the living room!

 Tyler purposely sitting on a whoopee cushion! LOL

 Jake! 

Presents! 

He sure does love tractors!

 He was a pro opening all of them! 

 Jake loved riding in the box!

 He was getting carried away by grabbing a couple at a time!

 Puzzles!

 More Books! 

Mose came in later on in the evening! Mose really does make the party better! :) 

 This cat cracks me up! Licking dip off of celery! HA!

 Loving all the attention!

 Having fun playing!

 Run for your life, Mose!!!!

 Mose making his rounds!

 Isn't Lauren looking grown up?!!

 Mose likes to party! 

The kiddos! 

We missed Caleb, he had a horse thing going on that weekend. But I'm pretty sure he would of  hated taking the picture, since he's been too cool for group pictures in my last attempts :)

I think this one is the winner! 

 And because it's funny to show how many takes you have to try to get 5 kids to sit still, I'll post some of the funny mess ups : ) 

 Love Lauren's face!

 Good group of kids right here!

Cake time! 

 Help from Lauren! 

 He loves when people sing happy birthday to him! 

How does my cake look?! I'll post the recipe later!! Both the icing and cake are homemade! 

 Happy boy!

 Everyone enjoying the cake!

 Yum!

 Sugar Rush!

Mose moved onto Barry!! 

 Barry got to hear a lot of stories from Lauren!

 Already playing with his new toys : )

 Loving on Mose!

 I have a full picture of his shirt to post too. I bought it from Etsy! I'll link the site when I post the better picture! 

 HA! Love this!

 She put caution tape around her to make a sash! 

It was such a good time! Thanks to everyone that came over to make it an awesome time! And thanks to those that have sent cards, gifts, etc to Tyler since you couldn't be at his party! Everyone means so much to us!
