CAlling All Superheros!!!

This past weekend we celebrated Fisher's 4th birthday!
We had a SUPER time and made lots of fun memories...





















I can't believe he is already 4! He is such a blessing to us and we love him so much!

I got the printables from HERE
and some of the ideas from HERE!
ENJOY!

Grace's fairy Garden PArty!

In May we had the joy of celebrating our Grace's 5th birthday! Of course,

it had to be a Tinkerbelle party...

I somewhat struggle with going straight to the normal Tinkerbelle stuff, so I came up with some of my own stuff...

Here are a ton of pics from the party...

I tried to "keep it simple", but really it did take a lot of work and preparation.

Lighning McQueen Cake!

For Fisher's 3rd Birthday I decided I would be a little ambitious, and try to make a McQeen cake. If you have a boy in the age range of 2-5 you know the obsession of Lightning McQueen, that I am talking about, we joke that that movie is why Fish can talk, because it is the majority of his vocabulary. Today he even cried until I agreed to let him sleep in his Lightning McQueen shoes (which of course was a gift from Grandma, bc I don't do the whole character clothing thing), anyway, I had great plans for some red fondant icing and even made it yesterday so that I could be prepared for today. Well apparently it gets really hard and unusable if you let it sit over night. I did not know this and had to chunk it this morning...

So I went with plan "B" and had to use buttercream which turned out pretty good. Sorry about the lack of pics...
I started with a regular yellow cake mix, whipped that up and put it in the oven. Then I cut it into three sections, in a t shape. I put the two bigger pieces on top of eachother to make the base of the cake and then I put the smaller piece on top of that to make the eyes. Then I kind of just took a McQeen car that I had and shaped the cake to look like the car. After that I iced it and called it a day. Its not perfect, but it looked good enough for Fisher who was so excited to have a "cars" cake!
