Nathan's 7th Birthday (Ninja Turtle Style)

Nathan's 7th birthday! He was trying to decide between a baseball party and a ninja turtle party. I'm glad he went with ninja turtles, it was fun creating the games prizes and masks.



 I went to Jo-Ann's and bought a 1/4 yard of felt of orange, blue, purple and red. We were able to make 6 masks of each color and Robert and Kiera cut out the eye holes and the nose notches.
 Then of course we got pizza because that is a ninja turtle staple. 7 cheese pizzas!



 Kiera was in charge of face painting, all the girls were all over that.


 Chocolate cupcakes with green frosting.


 I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it but Robert made a board with circle cut outs. I put tissue paper behind the holes and then a brown paper bag with a prize. So all the kids got to punch out a hole and grab their prize. There were some bags that were empty because the prizes wouldn't fit through the holes, I had those in a bag next to me. They all thought that game was pretty fun! I got the idea from this blog http://www.cravingsomecreativity.com/2014/02/19/ninja-turtle-party-ideas/ Ours was blue and the 3 fold board so the holes were only in the middle, 24 holes.


 Light Saber battle at the end of the party.

 Haha I love Nathan's Intense-Happy face!
 Since Robert and my dad couldn't make the day time party because of work (it was a Tuesday afternoon) we did cake and ice cream that evening. Robert's parents and my mom were able to make the day time party which was nice. :)
 Nathan got an army hat
 Dog tags
 and the kind of flashlight he wanted (almost blinding Mommy here)
 And some army pants. He was pretty excited about all his army stuff. And of course Blake bringing the rock music to the party. haha

My 4 wonderful blessings!!!
 I like how Blake gives some blowing support.
 haha
Oh my sweet Nathan! He is an awesome little person and young-man. I'm so honored and beyond blessed to be his Mama!

Nature Outing 5-8-14

Part two of our frog search at Craig Regional Park in Brea. This time friends met us there, because it's always fun to explore with friends!
 I forgot to change my WB back to sun so I ended up with this. I kept it because I like it!
 Found frog eggs! Actually we found a frog right by the frog eggs but the boys scared it away.
 There be some baby frogs in them there eggs!
 "Don't fall in please!" - me because I know they will stink after and we didn't bring a change of clothes.
 Egret and an Egyptian Goose
 Yep that's an Egyptian Goose. It looks like a mix between a duck and a goose so my friend Amy grabbed her phone and did some searching and found out that's exactly what it is. I guess they're very common in Egypt.

 Nathan's good about sitting still and observing so animals tend to get pretty close to him.


                               Egret                                                                                                                      Boy
 Nathan and I got to see the egret fish!
 



 It caught a crawfish







Fun times!
