Shadd's BIG 3rd Birthday Bash

Sorry it has taken me so long to post some pics from Shaddy's Big 3rd Birthday Bash. We had all our family (both sides and all the great-grans) over for walking tacos (a new birthday bash tradition from last year), fruit, cake, ice cream, water fun, etc. It was a Cars Themed party where I had the best intentions of getting together some pretty awesome decorations (at least i pinned then on pinterest ) but a few too many irons in the fire I guess. Well, we filled up 175 water ballons, gave away water blasters, and had just about everyone soaking wet by the time they left. All in all it was a blast.

Just a few decorations - always want to do so much more but time tends to get away from me

a fishing pole - the old school kind - thanks grandma rene

a true pup tent - just pops right open. if only they made larger ones - maybe they do

blowing out the 3 candles

frama darcy's famous cake and daddy's homemade ice cream - could it get any better?

the birthday boy!

we had a hard time understanding that all these gifts were his -  as he asked for things to be put in his pile. i guess too much christmas practice

Ells pretty much spent the day in her suit - scavenging for food and drinks from just about anyone who would give her something - she thinks she is just as big as everyone else.

Shadd's new ride - if only we could reach the pedals. Need to grow a bit more!

Sporting is #3 shirt - gotta love the Silhouette Machine (more to come)

the boys in all their glory - soaked to the bone by the end of the day!

Thanks to all for Shadd's awesome gifts. Just sending out thank-yous today. Gotta love Mixbook. You can even custom design cards. It is awesome!
