Ethan and Owens birthdays are 1 month to the day apart (Owen July 25 and Ethan August 25) and we have always done separate parties for them but this year we decided to do their parties together. It was a great decision as they have a lot of mutual friends and we were able to kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak. The boys invited 17 of their friends and all 17 came--wow lots of boys! We started at our house and then walked to the park down the street for pizza and lazer tag. The lazer tag did not start until 7:30pm so they played mostly in the dark and they loved it. After lazer tag we came back to our house and had cake, presents and then swimming, hockey, bikes and whatever they wanted to do. The boys spent the night in our back yard in a huge tent (which was a great plan to keep them out of the house)and the fun was still going at 2am. They tell me that they fell asleep around 3am and were up promptly around 7am so I think we will have 17 tired boys. This morning they played and ate and swam and just acted like boys. Really fun party!!!
This is the barriers they set up for the lazer tag.
Miss Mia had a blast as well
The boys eating pizza
There are a ton of fires burning in southern California so the sky is just beautiful against the sunset.

Silly boys
Trying to look way too cool!
Again, way too cool!

ReplyDeleteOh how I miss living in Corona (although it was more Norco than Corona, I think) and seeing the view of those mountains. Sigh......
We're heading out the end of September to Taiwan to bring home our little boy. I can't wait to have 2 boys running around and I can only wish they get along as well as your boys do.
Take care.

What a fun party and what a brave Mama!!! Your kids are all soooo darling and in these pictures it is so amazing how much Mia looks like the boys to me...especially in the pic of Owen and Mia...their smiles..isn't it amazing how these little girls are given by God to the perfect families!!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome...looks like even a fun time for adults (minus the seventeen kids, of course!) WOW...you certainly are brave and gracious to throw such a huge party!! Sounds like it was well organized and a major hit for all of the boys, though. My son, Dawson, would've LOVED it!! We had a big bash at our place a few years ago and invited all of the boys in his homeroom class... and every single one of them came! We rented the big blow-up jumper "thingys" and had an array of outdoor games to play...thank goodness for cooperative weather! But I can't imagine having had them all overnight. We sugared 'em up good, and sent them all home! LOL!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your boys!
