Craving Spring

The weather has been nothing but delightful lately and I'm loving it! Nothing like having spring on the horizon. It makes me want to throw a party like this as seen on A Field Journal.

Hope you are all having a great Monday!

Large Pom-Poms

Remember these cute pom-poms I used as decoration for Caden's 1st birthday? They are super easy to make and you can find my step by step tutorial on At Home with Kim Vallee {take a look at her blog... it is sweet and I'm honored to be featured!}

Party Party

Before Caden's birthday party, invitations were sent out and decorations were hung with a balloon theme in mind.

{Large pom-poms- Caden gave me several giggles while hanging these}


Many, many balloons were raised in effort to surprise our little one.

And surprised he was. A little joy for all.

We enjoyed our little party amongst our dearest of family and friends.


And cake was devoured by all.

Especially by this cuite pie.

The End.

Wii party

I wanted Casey's 30th birthday bash to be something really special. He was out of town on his actual birthday so I thought I would get together a small group of his close friends and have a fun gathering. I am really happy with how it turned out. Here is a picture recap of the evening.

Here are a couple notes from my planning and the party-

• Wii Stations--We had two Wii stations going. One inside on the small t.v. and one outside against the side of the house using a projector. The outside projector was a huge hit! It was great having two so everyone could join in the fun. I also set out blankets on the lawn so people could hang out and chat. The weather was perfect!
  
• Cupcake toppers-- I made every cupcake topper a famous mii person. Famous mii's can be found here. I printed them out, used a round punch to cut them out and attached them to a toothpick with a blue circle background. They were a huge hit and a definite conversation starter.
• And no party is complete without Izze. Must have the Izze. I just love that stuff.
