Issac's TMNT Birthday

-


I think it was only a day or two after his fourth birthday party that Issac declared that for his fifth birthday he wanted a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Party when he turned six.  Honestly, I’m half surprised he didn’t change his mind & half not surprised at all that he didn’t change his mind during the year because Issac has loved turtles ever since he was two.  Issac loves not just TMNT but all things turtle, he has books about turtles, a handful of stuffed turtles and even a pet tortoise, Crush.

Issac requested that his birthday be a TMNT theme, with Pizza at his favorite park, Steel Lake in Federal Way.  To avoid Memorial Day Weekend, we had Issac’s party the following weekend, on May 30th.  I didn’t think about it being graduation season so when we arrived at the park at 10am there was only one group picnic area left open for the day & it was far away from the playground.  That was the only downside to the entire day! 
For Party Invitations, decoration ideas & inspiration I turned to Pinterest.  I used free printables, which I printed for free at the public library for invitations, cupcake toppers, water bottle labels, decorations and thank you notes.  Then I hit up the dollar tree for all things green & a dozen turkey pans that I had Tyler spray paint to create Turtle shells. I bought felt at Walmart & cut masks & crafted weapons out of paint sticks and duct tape.  The guests all enjoyed transforming themselves in to Ninja Turtles with their turtle shells, masks & weapons.


 
Issac was very pleased with the amount of guests that took the time to come & celebrate with him.  We had family & friends, soccer friends, neighbors, preschool friends & even a classmate show up.  It was awesome the way some people came after the party ended to continue the fun with us.  Our family was at the park from 10am-6pm enjoying the day.  Thank you to everyone who came & celebrated our number one with us!
 Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us!

Our First Family Road Trip

We had planned & canceled a trip to Utah last fall because Tyler was out of work due to injury & we couldn’t afford it. However, since my Grandma’s death it has weighted heavy on our minds that none of Tyler’s grandparents have yet to meet Miss Josie. To fly to Utah with Josie on our laps would have been close to a thousand dollars. However to drive was only about $350 in gas round trip. Once it was confirmed that Tyler was able to line up his work vacation with his school’s Spring Break, I began to plan everything out.  Before, during & after our trip   EVERYONE kept asking us why we choose to drive the "long" way to utah through Montana.  It is simple, we wanted to spend some time with tyler's younger brother & his wife in Spokane.  We saved money on this trip in many ways. First off we drove instead of flying. Second, we took up every offer from different family members to have dinner with them so the only 2 nights we ate din...

University of Washington Tacoma Graduation

After years of dreaming & hard work, on Friday June 10th, 2011, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Urban Studies.  It was a great day. Tyler, the kids, my Mom, my Uncle Greg, cousins Emma & Jacob plus my Grandpa's wife Barb cheered me on inside the Tacoma Dome. 2011 has gone by so quickly.  Since Josie's birth completing my homework has been tough. Some days i just wanted to stay home & hold my baby. But I knew that she was safe at home with her father while I attended class.  I look back and I am so grateful for Tyler who has always believed in me & never kicked me while I was down.  Our plan to have children while I attended school was one of the best decisions we could have made for our family.  Everyone keeps asking so many questions!!! "When will you get a job?" "Where will you work?" 'what will you do with the kids?"  All kinds of personal questions. Tyler & I have been waiting to hear if he will return to work or not be...
