Super B!

 Party weekend!  Thursday we celebrated a little "which hand" with gifts for the big guy.  We also had a yummy gigantic chocolate chip birthday cookie!  Delicious.




On Friday the kids got out early ~ so we headed down to Thanksgiving Point to the dinosaur museum.  Braden was in heaven and loved it all.

My favorite quote of the day: "Mom, thanks for giving birth to me, so that I could celebrate my birthday."  
Seriously, kid?  Love him! :)
Then on Saturday we wrapped it all up with a Super Mario Party ~ a fun-filled, fast-paced, game-crazy hour and a half.  (I needed a nap after the kids left!)

So, one successful seven-year old celebration?  Check.  Whew.  

the other sister...

  So, I am seriously NOT the creative sister in my family.  So... when I did TWO cute things all in one week ~  I just have to share!




I made birthday party invites for Braden's party!  Couldn't find cute Mario invitations ~ so Braden helped me make these 
cute little guys!
... and then we put together little bags of gold coins for B. to hand out in first grade.  He didn't want cookies or cupcakes so after a little thought we decided we should take advantage of the whole St. Paddy's Day Birthday thing!  Loved it! :)

So, there you go.

tubing = happiness

 Monday was a scheduled short day for our school district.
What better way to spend it?
 I loaded up the car,
picked up the kids,
 and we headed to Park City!

 I LOVE this picture of Braden being towed up the hill...
nothin' but boots!! :)



We had a REALLY good time at Gorgoza Park.
Beautiful day.
Lots of snow.
Cute kids.
The only thing missing from a perfect day...
was Kelly!!

No half day from work, unfortunately!
