Party with Elaina

Kindergarten Christmas (or should I say "winter") party with Elaina:)

Hollywood Game Night!

 This year our annual dress up party fell on Bobby's birthday. It was so fun to have a great night with all of our friends and celebrate Bobby at the same time. You were suppose to dress up like someone from Hollywood...famous couple, someone/something from your favorite movie etc. Bobby chose to be Buddy the Elf:)

 I was the Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story.

 We had Elsa and Olaf. 

 Uncle Lewis and Aunt Bethany from Christmas Vacation. 

 The Duo from Grease. 

Crazy sweaters because they didn't get the memo?? :)

Prince William and Princess Kate

Marilyn Monroe and Joe Dimaggio

Forrest Gump and Jenny

 Clark Kent and Wonder Woman

We had so much fun playing games and eating good food with our friends! Laughter really IS the best medicine!

And Elaina Makes Friend Day Four:)

I thought I was going to be able to squeak by without hosting a friend day for Elaina. I mean, it's one thing to keep an eye on 8, 10, and 12 year olds but 4 and 5 year olds? Well, sign me up because sister is all about fairness. It was a good day with all of her little buds. Fun times at the Morgan pool! 

Day Three of Testosterone Nation

Grant was stoked that it was his friend's day. Somehow Rhett got the best end of the deal with these fun friend days. He got to take part in every one! He better count his lucky stars:) Elaina didn't make out too bad either! 

 There was swimming, soccer, swimming, rough housing, and more swimming:)

Another super grand day for the memory books! 

Another Day of Making Memories!

It was Rhett's turn to have his buds over for the day. He was gracious and let Grant hang with his buds. It was another super fun day of swimming and backyard football/soccer. 

 I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day! 

 Good times, great kids. Perfect summer day. 

God is GOOD!

Memory Making

This summer each of the kids got to invite whomever they'd like for a day of swim time and fun. Each one got to have one day to themselves with just their buds and I personally loved it. It gives me tons of joy to look out and see a pool full of kids:) 

This was Cade's day and he was kind enough to let Rhett hang with his friends. He fit right in and I don't think anyone ever thought, "uggghhh, why is Cade's annoying little brother hanging out with us??", because Rhett is.....Rhett and he fits in just about anywhere:)

Elaina got to swim in with the big kids too. And don't think for a minute she was left out. 

She was surrounded by boys the ENTIRE time. With her supreme cuteness and love for all things sporty I think this will pretty much sum up her entire life:)

It was a great day of fun with all of these fantastic boys before school gets in swing in a few weeks. I'm so thankful for this pool to hang out in! 

G's Ten Year Party

Grant's party was a little delayed because of a hunting trip and our trip to Haiti but it rolled around a couple weeks late and he didn't mind a bit. Any time he can have all of his besties over for some of Grandma's chocolate cake it's a good day! 

Mom crafted up a specialty baseball cake. The boys were quick to let her know that her players were not positioned correctly and they moved them around to better field positions:) Poor player placement had no effect on the end result....it was to die for! 

After eating the boys disappeared downstairs and came back up dressed in things from my Halloween bin. We laughed at Tanner who must've gotten into Elaina's stash because he had a baby doll, a pink purse and a gun and he called himself "overprotective mom". Ha! 

I tried to get a good pic of all the friends together before bedtime but they're a nutty bunch of kids and it took several takes before I got this decent serious face one.

First there was this:

 and this:

The boys were having so much fun that we totally forgot to open presents. The next morning we decided we should go ahead and do that! Grant was pumped:)

He got a huge kick out of Cavin's singing card that had something to do with eating beans and pooting out your birthday candles. Perfect boy birthday card! 

One last attempt at a group shot before pick up.....well, two attempts then I gave up trying to get everyone to smile all at the same time.

I couldn't ask for a better group of boys for Grant to spend his 10th year with. I pray that these kids spend many more years together making memories! I love you, G! Happy 10th birthday party:)
