Will's Birthday Party

Monday, June 25, 2007

Will had his 10th birthday party yesterday! It was a good old fashioned afternoon of pizza, watergun battles, slip and slide, water balloons, root beer floats (instead of cake-- Will's choice) and baseball! In this day and age, I think the art of the simple backyard birthday party has been lost. I was thrilled that this is exactly what my son asked for to celebrate his birthday.

Will is such an awesome kid. I plan to write a special post about him this week. But after a month of birthdays, a baptism, a big trip etc...I am exhausted. So, that will have to wait a few days. Sit back, pour yourself a root beer float and enjoy the slide show. I did.

    Happy Birthday Will! Congrats on entering double digits! That's quite the accomplishment.

    And Kim--thanks for agreeing with my last post. I always appreciate anyone who values my opinion. (just kidding).

  8. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WILL!!!!

    What an awesome party! I love it that Will is still playing with Lego’s ~ Ian does too. Has Will discovered the Lego Robotics yet ~ big time fun! From looking at these pictures, I think that Will and Ian would get along about as well as we do :D

    BTW - You once mentioned that you have a porch like mine ~ well it looks like our backyards are pretty similar, except our lake is so sad because of the drought!

  10. What a wonderful party! Everyone looks so happy. I love the backyard birthdays too. My son Zach usually chooses to have his friends come out and spend the day here on the lake. Tyler always chooses to go somewhere.
    Have a great day. Kate Emerson always melts me. She is just beautiful.

  14. Kimber,
    I have a question for you! :)

    I was looking through your baby shower posts and I noticed that you received a giant play mat that is a brown color and it's quilted. Well, I absolutely LOVE it. Could you tell me where this was purchased please? Thanks SO much!!

  16. Lilly,
    I could not locate an e-mail for you. The playmat is from a comapny called Plain Mary. They are awesome. They are quilted ultrasude and Kate uses hers everyday. They are machine washable. Apparently they are all the rage among celebrity Moms and have been on E!

    You can find them on-line. It was an awesome shower gift!

    Let me know if you get one.
