Blake is one lucky and spoiled boy. This was his year for a friend party. I tried to talk him out of it by telling him I would buy him more presents if he didn't have one but he still wanted one. Then he told me he wanted a mountain man party. Say what? So we did a hunting party. I found this idea on pinterest for his invite and loved it:
We had 6 friends come along with my 4 boys. Lucky for me my mom was in town to help me because I need it. First off before school we:
Watched Blake run through the crate paper around his door. It's our birthday tradition. They love it. He got to open a couple of presents and headed for school.
My mom bought him a camel back backpack with a water thing in it. He totally loves it. Already took it hunting this year.
Before the party started we noticed a mouse in my garage. I HATE mice. Seriously. It looked dead so I had my friend send her 13 year old boy over to help me throw it away and it stated to move when he went to scoop it up! Ahh! It was poisoned from the decon and was dying but still moving. Yuck. He got it all cleaned up before the kids came. We started by having them decorate a mini pumpkin from my garden with hair and eyes. Whatever they wanted. Then I bought some more nerf bullets and let the kids shoot at balloons with pictures of animals on them. The two girls did alright with it but the boys went nuts over it.
We did a scavenger hunt and a stack the cup game. Also pin the bullet mark on the target. I tried not to have too many killing animal games because ya know. Didn't want to bother any of the kids.
That's why our pinata was a dragon. Not a zebra like he kind of wanted. I thought it was cool looking anyway but broke easy.
Stockton cried for most of the party. It's hard to be the little brother I guess. He went nuts on the dragons dead once it broke off.
His friends brought him awesome presents. I bought (gasp!) instead of bought his birthday cake this year. He liked it better and if I bought the little hunter guy on the top off of amazon it was 12 bucks and the finished cake cost me 19. So it was worth a few dollars to have it taste and look nice.
Sorry I didn't edit any of these pictures. Takes too long. Loved his face in this one though blowing everything out.
I'm glad Blake has so many cute little friends.
After the kids left I let him open the rest of his presents. He was so excited. I love when he lets me take his picture because he is such a ham.
Blake is really such a wonderful little boy. His teacher told me at teacher conferences that she wishes she had a classroom full of Blakes because he is so good at getting his work done and helping those around him. He has a kind heart and likes to make lots of friends even though he is really shy. He is really emotional at home. He gets upset with his brothers a lot but no brother is more loved them him. Stockton and Brett love to play with him. Stock just told me he likes playing with Blake because he plays games that he likes and no monster games. Ty loves to play monster games. He still loves all things with being "manly" and hunting. The other day he told me he was pretty much the most manly man in our family. Even though he doesn't act like it he really loves to get attention from me. He will just come up and hug me sometimes which he doesn't do to everyone. I feel very lucky to be his mom. He has always been my buddy.
