William's Farm 3rd Bday

Happy Buuuurdays are W's favorite things to do. You ask him that question - and that's the response you will get. So my older kids were helping him count down the days this past month to his very own. Needless to say he was in great spirits (which is not always the case when your other nick name is Mr. Grump Face)

But before I get into the meat of this post - I need to talk about Pinterest. I know this is an odd thing to include - but it needed to be. I already loved Pinterest (what is that?!) but using it to help plan a themed party - indispensable, incredible, amazing. Thank you to all the lovely, talented moms out there who created amazing farm birthdays and shared them - so that I didn't have to use one single creative muscle - just copy :) Ok.....maybe I used that muscle a little.

And before I go much further - I need to shout out to all my family and friends that, clearly, really love us for this farm was a good 45 minutes away.....AND it was early Sunday AM. That's love people....that's love.

And before I go even further......I need to shout out to my sister who actually enjoys slaving over parties with me. She is my partner in party awesomeness and NOTHING would happen without her.

And my husband (oh my god I could do this all day, it's not like it's an academy award or something, geez - get over yourself already!!!!) He is so supportive of my "party crazies" he knows there is a certain gleam that enters my eyeballs about 36 hours before a party and he just silently helps. <3 br="" nbsp="">

But the final note is - I don't have the time to caption every picture. It was a great, great party.

Halloween through the ages...

 Seeing as how I only tend to post once a month, I decided I had better really try to ditch my perfectionism and just post, post, post. So…….here's to less that perfect entries but MORE memories.

Now…….on to Halloween over the years.

2003

This is my all time favorite shot.

Lucas was super not thrilled with the feeling of cold pumpkin on his hinny. But seeing as how he was so chill all the time - I was able to capture some awesome shots. :)

The owner of the pumpkin patch overheard my plan and gave me that colossal pumpkin for free.

Isabella (cousin), Katie Reinhart (friend), Lucas

Lucas and his cous….so stinkin cute

I love this shot of John and his mom on Luke's first Halloween.
