Happy Birthday Party-Post 2

All the kids had to get a hand in there and help play with the toys.
Here we are singing happy birthday to Hunter and my dad (they share the same birthday) Hunter of course didn't understand the whole blow thing, so mom blew for him.
He loved his cupcake and ice cream. I think he had more of it in his seat than he actually ate but he loved what he ate.
Here's all of his presents. He got way too much stuff. Talk about SPOILED!!! He loves everythign he got.
Nick & Farelyn & the kids got Hunter a Mr. Potato head. He loves the glasses. He thought it was quite fun to wear the glasses himself instead of Mr. Potato head wearing them.

I have more pics from his party at daycare but I have to load them first, so stay tuned for that adventure.

Hunter's Birthday Party-Post 1

This is going to take me 2 posts cuz I can only add so many pics on a post.
These are Hunter's cupcakes. The soccer balls didn't turn out quite as well as we hoped. Josh actually did all the decorating. He did a good job. But soccer balls are dang hard to make, when you're not a pro.
Hunter was taking a nap and when he woke up there were all these balloons. He loved them. He never even popped one and we just got rid of all of them yesterday. He thought they were so much fun .
I fixed lunch for everyone. We had pulled pork sandwhiches, coleslaw, potato salad, a new tortallini salad, and a relish tray. My sister thought she would be funny and try and eat Hunter's food. He didn't like the idea, and he got food all over her face. (you might have to look close to see it)
My sister gave him this elmo chair. He LOVES it! When you sit in it it vibrates and elmo giggles. He is alwasy sitting in the chair and he's learned how to shake his but when he's in it to make elmo giggle.
Here's him and dad opening his 1st present. At first, he picked it up and started walking to his room. He didn't want anyone to know what it was nor did he want to share.

To my Hunter:

Happy Birthday Hunter!!!

I can't believe he's 1 already. Time went by way too fast. Here's a few things he's accomplished in the last year:

*He can walk

*He has 6 teeth, 4 on top and 2 on bottom

*He eats prettty much anything, including radishes and vinegar chips (not the potato chips, the cucumer vinegar chips)

*He can wave bye-bye (only when he wants, not on command)

*He can say mama

*He can say dada

*He know how to give kisses

That's just to list a few, there are many more but we must get ready for the day.

Happy Birthday buddy!

4:30 A.M.!!!!

Yep, that's right Hunter woke up at 4:30 (actually 4:20) and wouldn't go back to sleep. I have no idea why he woke up but he was wide awake. So, of course if he's awake we're awake. Cuz if we weren't we'd have a tornado. I tried putting him back in his crib but he would just cry and cry and cry some more, cuz he was ready to play. He really only wanted to play with dad, but of course mom had to be awake with them. So, Josh went to work early and I got up and got ready. By 6:15 this morning I was ready to go for the day. And it was about that time that Hunter went down for a little nap. I feel so bad for his daycare today. :) He's gonna be a pill! Even though he woke us up that early he was still just so darn cute, Thank heavens!

Steal of a deal

So these are the cupcakes I'm going to attempts to make for Hunter's little birthday party we are doing this weekend. They won't turn out quite the same I'm sure but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Anyways, to the real reason of the post:

I saw this cupcake holder when I found these cupcakes (obviously, cuz this is the exact thing I found the first time) and I fell in love with it. It's just so cute and simple and fun. They are made by Wilton, I'm sure there are other companys but, this was by far my favorite design. They make them in a smaller size that holds 13 cupcakes. I didn't want a 13 holder, I wanted the one in the pic, a 23 count hold. I couldn't find the darn thing anywhere but online. Everywhere on line it was like $30 plus shipping and handling. I wasn't going to pay $40-$50 for a darn cupcake holder. So, I finally found one at Michaels. They are my life saver! They had one for $29.99 which was still more than I wanted to pay for but I've had my heart set on it for sometime and so I broke down and went to buy it. It was the only thing I bought, I got to the counter and the lady said $15 and whatever the cents was! She scanned a coupon she had for 50% off!!! SWEET! So, I paid my $15 and went along my merry way. It was truly the highlight of my day. It made me so happy. To put it into perspective: The 13 count holders are between $12-$15. Talk about a steal of a deal! It made my day. Okay, enough rambling!
