Jace's 6th Birthday Bash

Okay so the theme that Jace wanted for her big day was transformers. So I get online for some ideas. Can I just say there are some pretty creative ladies out there with lots of fun ideas. So I printed off some games and then below...this is our "pre" party activity...coloring transformer pages! They loved it! We did this until all the guests had arrived!


Jace and his birthday badge.

Even cousin McKayla got into the coloring! Pretty coloring McKayla!

One of my fun games I found. I think this one was bingo!


This was a game...not sure if it had a name or not but I printed off the "good" transformers and the "bad" transformers (I know they have specific names but I can not think of them at this time) and they had to find the bad ones I think. I did learn a lot planning this party...all about the transformer world. Kind of fun!

This is the "don't eat Pete" game. This game I got from a friend of mine a few years back and it has become a HUGE hit at all my kids parties. They love it. I just print off a grid of charactors. We then have one person leave the room, another person chooses who is going to be "pete". The paper has a candy on each charactor. The person who leaves the room tries to eat the most candies...when them come to the charactor that is pete, everyone in the room screams "DON'T EAT PETE!" The really do get into it.

Opening presents!




The kids posing with their transformers masks!

Now funny faces!

Cake time!

Look at this cute cake! Well I thought it was a cute cake on short amount of time. Rather then buying a fancy trasnformer cake pan or trying to do something on my own, I just made a regular rectangle cake and added transformer figurines on top. Jace loved it! Then Mike strategically added the candles. He had fun with this too!

Make a wish!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning is always an exciting time in our house. Here are some pics capturing this event!














Remember I was pregnant at the time...just wanted to remind you as you look at these pics! That is a baby...not just a big belly!
Mike using our Christmas present...a new camcorder! Yeah!


Boy was this the ever exciting present of the year! Kids could not stop screaming!

Games for the Wii!



Ella by all of her Christmas present! Santa spoiled her!

Jace by all of his goodies!

Halle showing off her new toys...except for that hot wheels item...didn't realize that was in the pic! :-)

I had to add this picture in here. This was after Christmas but this is Ella sitting on the heater vent. This is where we always find Miss Ella...she loves the warm air coming out!

The Lights at Temple Square

I have been wanting to take the family to temple square for the last few years and we just never find the time to go. This year we did. We probably have not done this since Halle was real little. Anyway, the evening was pretty chilly but the kids liked seeing all the lights! Just beautiful!







Halle took this pic (above).
