Well, here it FINALLY is. I am only a few months behind…
A few…
This is my Nine year old’s birthday party. He didn’t have a party last year and didn’t want a party this year, that is till we suggested having a ‘Geek Squad Party’, then it was all over. He was insanely excited.
You see, he is clearly OBSESSED with anything having to do with electronics, especially computers. He tends to have a slight seizure when we go to Best Buy… well not really, but you get the point.
I asked a sweet lady, who’s daughter goes to school with us, about cookies and cupcakes, and something to combine his favorite of the Geek Squad and apps (his iPod has NOT left his side in almost two years, and he is constantly making apps). I am sure I drove her CRAZY with the constant changing of my mind, but I finally asked if she could make a tie for the topper of the cupcakes and app cookies.
They were FABULOUS!! Ashli from The Little Flower Bakery, you rock! I will be forever grateful that you delivered and stuck with me through all my brainstorming!!
Memoree Barrett Photography truly rocked with all of the awesome pictures. Between the three of us who brought our cameras to take pics, I took a total of 5, awesome, Kelly, from Oak House 5 took a bunch, and Memoree rocked it with her talent for photography and managing everyone in the photo-booth. I am grateful for her, who managed to bring all three kiddos and still snap bookoos of pics and also withstood all my brainstorming, you truly are a great friend!
After searching and searching for a venue, we ended up having it at our 35th Street investment property. It really worked out well, that is except for the heat. When I left, my car said 127. Now, I know that it’s not accurate since it was sitting, but the house had to of been 95 or so and no breeze…NOT cool. The food melted, literally. Couldn’t get the ‘Happy Birthday Kolby’ banner to stay because of the heat, so we resorted to ‘Kolby’, even that wouldn’t stay, so pardon the crookedness of it…
The other thing that melts in insane heat? Mustaches…
I mustache you a question…
She looks so excited about what they are smiling about…
We don’t need no stinkin’ games…we are too cool…
Oh wait, Bryce changed his mind, he will go first.
Nod your head as many times in a minute (we changed it to 30 sec.) to see who is the highest on the pedometer…
Next game, see how fast you can empty the kleenex boxes AND put them back in…
Whoops, there’s a baby in there somewhere…
And the last, was to make a tower on the ‘big kids’ forehead with dingdongs. But like everything else, they were also melted. So the wrapper stayed, but that doesn’t mean the chocolate stayed in the package…
Group pics, these are my FAV! Look at everyone’s faces, classic…
Did I mention how things melted?
And to my awesome partner in crime and blogger buddy, Kelly at Oak House 5, you truly rock my friend. Most of my day to day life lately (as you have held my hand), and definitely this party, would not have happened without you. Love you and biggest thanks!!
To many more,
