Party Time

By Courtney 14 Comments

Well we had quite a busy coupe of days over here this past weekend, but they were fantastic.

On Saturday, we got to celebrate this guy turning 3 all over again by celebrating with family, new neighbors, and friends!

Jay and I love to entertain, and it was sort of hard to believe that it had been well over a year ago since we moved and have been able to throw a good party. I’d say our last good one had to be this party, but we certainly had some great memories back at our old house!

So it was time to make some new memories in the new house. And granted, the party took a bit of a different tune from the way we used to party, but it was still just as fun.

This guy had a blast running around and playing with all of his friends.

IMG_3863

While this guy did a great job of hanging out with grandma or sleeping. He was the perfect party attendee!

IMG_3847

I honestly didn’t take all that many photos from the day which I was equally bummed and happy about. Bummed for the obvious reasons of not having more photos, but happy because I know I was just out and about mingling with friends and enjoying myself, rather that feeling like everything had to be documented.

IMG_3901

It wasn’t anything fancy (aka, no Pinterest themed party here – just some Blaze and the Monster Machine decorations here and there!), and I’d say the most effort I put into anything “cute” was for these little pudding cups.

IMG_3899

Pudding + Oreos + toy cars = the perfect kiddo treat!

IMG_3900

Of course, the cake was also a pretty great treat, too. How cute is it, right?!?

IMG_3865

I wish I’d thought to take a picture the first time he saw the cake because his face was priceless. The child is obsessed with Blaze.

IMG_3868

Oh, and hey…parents of the year over here? We totally didn’t have ANY birthday candles in the house (and I’d thrown away the 3 candle from his actual birthday) so we had to light three tea light candles on the top of his freakin cake. Go figure?

IMG_3873

Hey, he didn’t care. Winking smile

IMG_3880

He just wanted to keep relighting them so we could keep singing happy birthday.

IMG_3884

My birthday boys <3

IMG_3897

It was a great party and everyone was equally wiped by the end of it, so we all slept well that night!

On Sunday, we headed over to my friend Rachel’s house for a BBQ with all of my college girlfriends. I don’t get to see them nearly as often as I used to, so it’s always nice to have the time to catch up when we can. The kiddos all played outside (or hung out on playmats) while the adults caught up on life.

IMG_7959

And because it was two days in a row with no nap, somebody was quite tuckered out on our way home.

IMG_7965

Thankfully, it was only a quick little catnap, so we still managed to have both kiddos down for bed and asleep before 8pm. It was AMAZING. And it was also a beautiful night, so for the first time since moving in (almost a year ago now!!) we sat outside on our front porch and enjoyed some snacks and beverages.

IMG_7966

Cheers to THAT!

IMG_7974

And this is also why today’s post is coming to you a little later today. We were having too much fun out on the porch for me to come in and write up a post. So instead, I’m writing it today on Monday afternoon while both kiddos are snoozing.

Now that I’m finished, I’m hitting publish and hoping I can squeeze in a little workout before one of them wakes up. Then it’s back to potty training, which officially started today. I’ll fill you guys in on that later in the week, I’m sure!

Hope you’re all having a GREAT day so far!

    Sounds like you guys had a fun time celebrating the birthday boy! In all honesty he probably didn't care that they were tea lights, as long as he got to blow something out! What kind of beer are you drinking in those last two photos?

    Looks like you had a fun filled weekend. Those are always a plus to have. Sometimes it's nice to to soak it all up and not having our electronics drain us from just enjoying life. As always thanks for taking time to share some highlights of your life. Please don't take this as being creepy...but your mom is absolutely stunning!!!
