Super Hero Training Birthday Fun

Hunter was so excited for his birthday party this year.

He wanted to do a Super Hero party and so we put together some fun training for him and his friends.

 

 

The party décor. 

Hunter loved having everyone scan to get into his secret lair.

Hunter and I had fun making this Spiderman piñata.

Hunter's birthday cakes.  Patrick and I had so much fun making these birthday cakes. 

We started out by helping our Super Hero get his logo on his uniform.

 

 The boys loved playing the game.

 Enjoying some yummy Super Hero food in order to get their strength.
Then our Super Heroes had to rescue their heroes from Mr. Freeze.  They had to walk across lava, go through the laser beams, crawl through the dark tunnel, and rings of fire. 

 Then they had to rescue their Super Heroes from frozen blocks of ice.

 The kids really enjoyed rescuing their heroes.
Then it was piñata time.

 

 A piñata is a must have at a birthday.  Our boys love hitting piñatas.

 Hunter was so excited for his cake and he loved blowing out the candles.

 Present time.  Hunter was so cute opening his presents and telling everyone thank you.
He had little presents for all of his friends but some villains came and stole the presents.
The Avengers put on their masks, grabbed their silly string, and streamer ropes and tied up the villains.

Watching Hunter throughout the party was so much fun.  He lit up every time we did a new activity and he was so cute with all of his friends.  It was such a great birthday party for an amazing 5 year old.

Zoo Day

We had a fun sleep over with our favorite girls and then headed out to the zoo in the morning.

 Looking at all of the desert animals.

 The chuckwalla was dancing for the boys this morning and they loved the show.

 I love this picture of all of the kids holding hands and walking together.  These sweet cousins sure love being together.

 Taking a little break.

 Grandma wanted to go to the zoo for her birthday and ride the camels with her little grand boys.  They loved riding the camel with grandma.
It was a nice warm day so we decided to splash around the splash pad.

 I love our trips to the zoo.
After the zoo we got to play with our favorite girls again.
 They love doing science projects too so we made a few more volcano explosions.

 

I love having these cute girls over to play.

Cousin Fun

We met up with all of our fun cousins at the park to celebrate their sweet little cousin's 1st birthday.

 They love playing with their cousins.

 These sweet little girls are so patient and loving with the boys.  The boys absolutely love when they are in town.

 The birthday girl in all her cake glory.  Such a cutie.

 The whole group at the park.

 Enjoying the yummy cupcakes.

 My grandpa pushing my little cousin on the zip line.  He is such a great sport and always up for some fun.
Next we headed over to grandma's house to swim.  With the weather heating up, the water was still cold but the kids didn't seem to mind at all.

 

We swam this day and the next and loved the start of swimming season.

Projects at Home

We decided to have some fun with a few projects around the house. 

The boys have been talking about plants and seeds.  They are always trying to plant different types of seeds and hoping they will grow.  Every unpopped popcorn kernel in our house gets planted.  I thought it would be fun to plant some real seeds so they can see a seed grow.

We made these cute face planters for the boys plants and are hoping to have some hair really soon.

The boys love going out every day and watering their plants.  They are so excited to watch them grow.

I love Cameron's smile.  He loves riding the Lightning McQueen around the neighborhood.

Then Hunter helped me make a secret surprise for Grandma's birthday.  It was a fun day at home.  I love my simple days at home with my two little guys.

More Elephant Toothpaste

Hunter loved our elephant toothpaste experiment and really wanted to show Cameron this project.

The boys had a great time playing around and exploring with their science experiment.  The are so curious and love exploring.
