This weekend was the 3rd Annual Yard Olympics! Unfortunately, some rainy weather put a bit of a damper on the whole “yard” aspect of things. Luckily, we have some quick thinkers in the group and we were able to move the Olympics indoors.
There was frisbee, basketball,
darts, and beer pong.
And this year, everyone was able to complete the games at their own pace, rather than play with a partner like we have in the past, since there are now a gazillion kids and babies running around.
The theme continued throughout the party…
And we now even have an official trophy to set on top of our podium!
And, hey, would ya look at that…
Not to brag or anything. Mwahaha. 
The cool thing we were all talking about is that there are 16 slots available on that trophy. So in the years to come, I’m sure we’ll have some of the kiddos’ names on there, too. Crazy to think about!
But in the meantime, Lucas is still uninterested in the games and is cool with just hanging out with the toys and the boys instead.
And his mama, too, of course.
Woah, blurrrrry photo
Towards the end of the evening, we were greeted with one of Andrea’s amazing ice cream cakes.
(Seriously…they’re the BEST).
And then we had a quick awards ceremony before the child was about to have an “I need to go to bed NOW” meltdown.
Dun da da dahhhhhh! And the winners are…
For the third year in a row, I took home the gold, baby!
Don’t worry Jay, bronze is still great. Just not as good as gold. Bahaha.
I just love my friends. Seriously, they’re the best.
What did YOU guys do this weekend? Anything fun and exciting??
This is so fun! Love that you were able to move it inside and still have fun. It’s crazy to think kids will be participating before that trophy is filled! My weekend was filled with fall like temps, making relaxing amazing, and a cookout at my aunts. It was pretty perfect!
I had a feeling you were going to win again! Go you! woohoo its always a good feeling to beat the husband ;) This weekend we started remodeling our kitchen. We currently are living with no cabinet doors :#
Congrats on your Olympic Gold! :)
Looks like a blast. I wanna play!!
You are like the new Michael Phelps! Keep on bring home that gold, girl.
All love all the fun things you guys do! You really have an great circle of friends and family. This weekend I baked a pumpkin pie from scratch for the first time. Being 14 weeks preggers, it was the highlight of the weekend for me. nom nom! lol
this way too fun! Lucas looks like he loved it too!
That’s so great that you have a fun group of friends to do these kinds of things with! Even WITH your cute lil boy!
that looks seriously so fun!!!! this weekend was low key with GORGEOUS weather so we took lots of walks :) :)
Wow, you are quite the athlete! I love that you have this annual gathering. I love having events, holiday parties or just get togethers with my friends.
This weekend we prepped for Baby G’s arrival, two weeks! Lots of freezer meals made and set for the coming weeks. :)
Looks like fun, as always! I drove out to Iowa this weekend to hang with my blends, which just fantastic and fun, as to always be expected. We played Cards Against Humanity, hit up the Farmers Market and wine tasting, and just enjoyed each others company. No complaints here.
oh how FUN!! I wanna be your friend. ;)
That looks so fun. What a great idea for a party! : ) And woahhhh that cake…
Such a fun idea!!! I must organise something similar for all my gym buddies they’d love it! CAKE LOOKS AWESOME!
You guys are so creative, coming up with fun things to do! I bet when Lucas is old enough to understand the games, he’s going to school all of you. ;)
Indoor Olympics?! What a great idea!! This is too cute! I am probably the biggest Olympics fan ever when it comes time to watch it on tv, so this might have to happen in our house!
That looks like so much fun! It’s nice having yearly traditions like that with friends :)
This is so fun! I did a beer Olympics for a friend’s birthday party earlier this year, although by the end, I don’t think anyone was truly keeping score. Yours looks so organized! Congrats for the gold again!
Clearly, you are a badass! ;)
So fun! I love it. Especially the fact that you actually got a trophy– there are going to be so many memories attached to that thing! :)
Great party idea! Congrats on your win. :-)
New York is alllllll about the three-peats this weekend!!
Congrats!
that is the coolest idea!!! great way to meet up with friends and hang out. Highlight from my weekend was a couple of parties! One in NYC and one here at school. It was great to see friends I hadn’t seen in a few months :)
What a fun tradition! Congrats on the gold :)
We went camping, and it was super fun! Baby L did awesome, thank goodness.
You guys seriously know how to have some fun!!! And I have a feeling Lucas is going to be really good with those games. My weekend was so blessed since we had my husband’s parents visiting from out of state. Seeing them shower some love on Selah melts my heart~but it’s always so hard to say “see ya later” (aka today). Anyway, have a beautiful start to this fresh week Courtney! :)
That looks like SO much fun! Congrats on gold!
The biggest excitement in my weekend was that my daughter’s two teeth finally came in after months of bulging gums and sleepless nights!
