End of School Party

We wanted to celebrate the end of a wonderful school year. Our boys have grown leaps and bounds this year. It was definitely cause for a celebration.

We set up our 3-D Toy Story Slip-N-Slide and invited Cody and Savanna over for a swim party.

You had to wear these wacky goggles to be able to see Buzz Lightyear in 3-D. It only came with ONE pair of goggles, so that was interesting.

The weather was also a little chilly, which was also interesting. What is with the lack of sun this summer!

They didn't really care though, they were just happy to be out of school and swimming.

I thought these would be the perfect summer drink. Orange Cream-summer no?

The kids loved it.

De.li.cious

Poor Hunter didn't feel so well.

Finally poor Hunter was done with the day. His lips were turning blue and he had a little fever, so I sent him in for a warm bath and fluffy pajamas.

Josh bought the boys some little poppers. They were so hard to do! I think we only got one to work out of the whole package.

Cody's mom, Kim brought some ice cream over

Double scoops and everything!

The kids were so silly.

It was such a fun time that the kids didn't want it to end. Luckily Savanna's family was coming over for a BBQ later that night.

Poor Hunter had a swollen ankle from a bug bite and a fever, so Josh called the doctor to make sure it was all okay...it wasn't. The doctor told Josh to get Hunter to the hospital. It turned out to be strep throat. When Hunter got back from the ER I made him a little dinner in bed (this has become a tradition when the kids are sick, hopefully it is something bright when they feel yucky). He had to stay in his room so we didn't get little Jack sick.

We weren't sure if we should cancel our BBQ because Josh and Hunter were in the ER, but we decided to go ahead and do it. Luckily Dave was okay with taking over as the night's chef.

I got to see my new nephew Jack. He is so cute! I don't have too many pictures from the night, things were a little crazy with Josh and Hunter gone. Dave and Stacey were so great to just go with the flow.

I made a trifle (check the recipe blog) for dessert. It was pretty intense...I made everything from scratch including pound cake and lemon curd, both firsts for me. It was so good!

Doesn't he look like he is enjoying it?

The kids weren't into the trifle, so they just had ice cream and sprinkles.

The party was much better after Josh got back.

It was a CRAZY but fun day.
