Ok, so today is my sister-in-law and Mother-in-law's birthdays and while we are wishing they have a very wonderful and happy birthday today I was thinking about other family birthdays that we celebrated but never posted. So sad. I figured I can fix that sadness today, and here you have it kinda way back Wednesday...
First we journey back to the month of August when we celebrated Camden's 3rd birthday. As the tradition goes, I successfully planned games, activities, food and hopefully fun on a day when the Nothing was available to sabotage the party. NICE! I am really good at this! Anyway... I thought since Camden's behavior can sometimes resemble that of a monster, we could party monster style.
Here are some of the little monsters that I made for the party goers. Maybe as a thank you and maybe as an I am so sorry for the blasted weather you will endure at one of our outdoor parties.
This is the melon monster...
that apparently ate one of the kiddos sloppy joes. (My best guess is that this was a great stashing place for Taylor's food that he "ate all gone" :)
The always fabulous Garner clan
My momma and naked baby, who knows why
Kelly and Brian chillin
Me and Stacie
Some of the party ladies, notice the wind in our hair, yeah, it was slightly windy kinda like a tornado
Summer, tricepts, and traumatized Sawyer. Did I mention The Nothing came and swept away most of the party?
Little gushers, I love her!
Addie wearing the "monster feet" and Lisa with some sweet moves
Amber and me
Even Brinkley came to party. We were so happy the Johnsons could come celebrate with us!!
and the presents...
Fruit snacks from Auntie Megan and Uncle Adam, what could be better?
Oh wait there were guns too!! Little elmer fudd was in little boy heaven!
and more guns.
Happy birthday to my little Cam! How boring would our home be without him! I adore his sweet little gruff voice and super sweet smile! Thank you so much to everyone who came and supported our little guy at your own peril! We love ya!
And moving on, Keagan turned the big 7 on Sept. 1. Seven years goes by in a flash!! He decided on a GI Joe birthday, so over to the splash pad we went!! (Let it be known that weather is a little bit better here :) Thank goodness!!
Kelly cutting his first ever watermelon. He is allergic to them and never tried to cut them before, but he did a super fabulous job. Notice I stashed the baby under the table, great mom!!
Every soldier needs adequate protection for their head, right. Too bad I left an "a" out of WaiWai's name and had to steal one from Camden's, oh well.
I was not so much in a cake making mood, so I opted for army stars, too bad when you use too much army green food gel, it looks black.
Case not so sure about all that rushing water
Lexi, Parris, and Kaid
Kaid, Keags, and Malsey
Case and Lilia lovin the fountain
All the kiddos cooled off with some rootbeer float ice cream after the water.
Keagan was a little bit excited about his gift from Auntie Megan, thanks!
Martha (poor bells palsey), MaKell, Megan, Me, Pregnant Anja and little Lilia
All the little soldiers. Happy birthday Keags, we love ya!!
Dad had the awesome idea months and months ago to throw a surprise birthday party for mom's "6th anniversary of her 10th birthday" as Uncle Bryant so nicely put it :) We all had so much fun planning and when it all came together and mom came in... it was all worth it and SO much fun!!
My dad told my mom that they had a meeting at the church, very tricky!! When they walked in and mom was shocked, it was priceless. Then she saw Angie and Dominic who had secretly flown in from Austin, THANK YOU JOHNSONS!!, and she lost it... it was AWESOME!!
AJ and Dominic enjoying some munchies
Cutin some crumb cake, yum yum!
Family party + Uncle Brent = hilarious stories!! I love it!
Oh little Reesa, she doused Janet's face with a cup of cucumber lemonade, I'm sorry Janet, but it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen!!
My Uncle Richard and my Dad. Um, maybe my mom and her sister had similar taste :)
The yummies
and more yummies.
Angie, Dominic, and Lori
The fam, minus Jacob who had to slip out to help his mom. Happy birthday to the most selfless Mother this planet has ever seen!! I love you so much mom!
The kiddos saw these ice castles and begged us to go. It was pretty cool, and also VERY cold!
Adam and Megan came to see the cool ice too.
It really is amazing that someone has made these beautiful ice castles out of pine trees and water, and a lot of effort I'm sure.
I stole these pictures off of KSL.com. It was too cold to take more pictures :) So pretty.
Ok, so there are just 9 days till Christmas, perfect time to post Halloween right? Anyway, better late than never I suppose. We had a blast this year at Thriller. Kelly and I had never been before and we LOVED it! I hope we will be able to go again next year, AWESOME! MaKell and the Stangers came too.
Oh so excited for the show to start!
Seriously scary!
Martha was seriously freaked out by these handsome zombie people, which made it so much fun when one snuck up behind us when the show started and climbed over her into her lap. Priceless!!
So cuddly, I love it.
After the show we went to see some of the cast. This is Matt from SYTYCD. He was awesome.
More of Martha's buddies
Thayne, also from SYTYCD. Really good dancer.
Loved the dance with these guys, and seriously could anyone be more flexible than her??
So cute
Kelly was a huge fan of Ms. Bobbit!! She was hilarious!
He couldn't resist another picture with the crazy lady. She even gave him some tune in tokyo and a pat on the buns after the shot!! Yowzer!
Kelly and the ladies
and on to halloween day :) This was dinner, yum yum yum!
Martha and I smiling so pretty
And Candy Corn Lezh... GO LEZH!!
My Super hot 80s Rocker and I. Please notice the exceeding tightness of the jeans around his calves. So HOT!
Adam and Nurse Megan
Miss MaKell and my little zebra
The ladies
The Fam
Santiago the Latin Lady Slayer and Rock Star
Me and Marth
My little vampire
Have you ever seen Darth Vader with angel eyes? I love him!
Watch out Lexi, Adam is on a mission!
Mission accomplished, I love Adam and his trick-or-treating!
If only this was video, Kelly's kick and scream duo was a sight to behold!!
The Greenes met up with us to finish up our trick or treating. It was so much fun to have friends visit!
Us and the Greenes
Kilee and Keags

My little zebra pants, I love his facial expressions!
