Boston's birthday was a lot of fun. We decided to just invite 4 or 5 friends and their families and to do it all handmade. Usually I get on birthdayexpress.com and just order the complete package of whatever birthday they want, but I decide this year we're doing handmade for all of em. It was a lota fun.
here's pearcey with his favorite grandpa...

It was a fun birthday party, low stress and low mess.May has already been a lot of fun, and we haven't even had the fun wedding stuff!!!! The beginning of May Grandma Mulder came for a visit from Hawaii. The kids really really miss her since we only get to see her once every year or 2. Boston wanted to go home with her so badly. Hopefully she can make it out more often so they can remember Hawaii Grandma...or as Boston refers to Hawaii, "fa fa away".
She liked to wake up and help the kids with their chores and then go on hikes with them. they would go on lizard hunts and one of the days they found a really big cool lookin lizard...
Kam was scared of it at first, but then she loved holding it.
We had a lot of fun with Hawaii Grandma here...I am only mad that I didn't take more pictures...ugh! Next trip for sure!!!!

This was our first ride on the hobby cat. We spent LOTS of time on these after Jase learned to sail them so we didn't have to take a Jamaican out with us everytime.
And I'm SLOWLY learning to love my MAC. The kids have loved it since we found the photobooth.....
The first day Hawaii Grandma was here we went to tour the new Gila Valley temple. It was beautiful. When we first walked into the celestial room Boston said outloud, "WOW!". I agree.

You did an amazing job on Boston's birthday party. I don't think I would have the energy to make all the fun things that you made. I am glad Jase's mom got to come. Also, the Gila Temple is soooo beautiful! That is very adorable what Boston said.
I was wondering if you were going to start blogging again. :) Super cute bday. Homemade is fun, just lots of work. How far was the Gila temple from you? We wanted to go, just never seemed to have the time to make a 4 hr trip out and back.
I love your kids. So much. Like, if they ever tell me they don't want lessons anymore, I'll pay them to keep taking from me.
And what an awesome party!!
And before I go, I want to know if I can get a pair of Pearce's pants in the top picture. You know... in my size.
Alicia, i actually thought when I got those pants, "Alicia probably has these already". Cara Bingham (Duncan) gave them to pearcey. I love em. Um, and the kids LOVE piano, so sadly, we'll keep paying YOU.
Jolene, we're 4 hours from the gila temple too....but only 40 minutes fromt he snowflake one. And yes, I'm finally a blogger again. We just got this mac and I got confused, and didn't know how to work anything, but it's all making sense now.
You really put any other 4 yr old birthday party to shame. Love all the details!
so your dad looks like johnny cash in that top picture. that was the first thing i thought when i saw it. also, all of those little individually wrapped treats equal amazing.
