Owen Truns 4

I cant believe that my little guy is 4. Time is going by so fast. It feels like yesterday I was putting him in his crib and checking on him every 5 minutes to make sure he was still breathing ( first time mom thing. LOL)  And now I drop him off at preschool and look at him through the window into the backyard as he plays with his sister. Where did the time go.

 

For the kids birthday I take them out for doughnuts and chocolate milk.  We put a candle on the doughnut and sign to him. Doughnuts are a special treat in our house to the point where the kids think they get a candle on them whenever we eat them. I hope the kids never out grow this growing tradition we have going.

And of course our birthday minute kiss. Look at my silly kid.

Owen just loves playing with Lego's. So it was a perfect fit to have a Lego party. I made a Lego cake and cup cakes with Little Legos on top  made out of Air Heads, found the tutorial here over at Little Family Fun

And of course no party is complete with out a sign. So I did my best at a Lego man.  Owen liked it. Even though he is making his monster face.  He was so happy as his friends started to show up. When one of his friends from school came he was so happy. He ran to the door and introduced her to his is cousins and sister. Then said to Alex " Thank you for coming to my party" How cute and sweet is that.

It was a great party filled with friends, family, good food ( a nacho bar), and Love.

Emily's 2rd birthday party

Our little princess has turned 2. I cant believe it. Time is going by way to fast. Our little Emily loves any thing pink and princess. I spent all last week getting ready for the party. Baking cookies, making play dough, goodies bags, backing cookies and a small cake. Cleaning the house, with 2 toddlers running around that one always takes the longest. There were a couple of late nights. When my little angles are asleep I am able to get things done.

The party turned out great. The kids had a great time so did the adults. Here are a couple of shoots of the party.

 

 

 Some of the goodies that were made for the party. My mom made the candies. I am working on some tutorials to be posted soon.

Look at that smile.

Not the best picture of me but its a cute one of Emily.

Owen really liked the frosting.

Ava loved the cupcake!!! And her Aunt Jenny for giving her one.

I just love this pic. Emily received 2 pairs of dress up shoes and her and Ava just loved them. Even warring them when eating cupcakes.

Emily trying out her new bike. Thank you Grandma and Papa

 

And of course here a couple of shots from Emily's birthday doughnut and birthday kiss.

 

We are so lucky to have great family and friends. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate our little one.

Owen truned 3

My little man is 3. I cant believe how fast time goes by. Owen is into trains, he loves them. SO we have a trained themed party.  Here are a couple of pictures of the train all the fun train things I did for Owen's party.

 

 

 

We were not able to get more pictures of Owen opening his gifts because he opened them so fast it was like a tornado. But with every gift he would call out what it was and say "oh , wow, look" It was so funny.

 

It was great party.

We also went to dounuts for breakfast.

 I give my kids a birthday minute kiss every year.

 

The Buck Speedway, the party

The party was a hit!!! Owen did great! No melt downs!!!! ( and no nap) I am so happy with the way the party turned out. A big thank you goes to my Mom, Dad, Sister and Brother in-law, and of course Dave. Thank you so much for all the help. Love you all. Now let me tell you about the party.

Owen loves cars and dirt bikes, just like his Dad. I thought it would only be fitting to turn our house into the Buck Speedway. My mom found a great website that had anything you could think of for a racing theme party. Next was that cake. Wilton has a cake pan that after the cake is baked there is a checkerboard pattern with in every slice. Perfect!!!! I made the cake to look like a tire. It took a lot of black food coloring for the icing. My Mom made letters for the cake out of chocolate, they turned out perfect. For an added effect I added brown sugar around the edge of the plate, to look like dirt.

Another goodie, I made chocolate spark plugs. That is right spark plugs. The second I saw the mold on Amazon I knew that I had to make them. I wish there was a better picture. I know that I will be making them again soon.

Owen received great gifts from our friends and family. He made sound effects with every car that he opened. He even tested tiny baseball bat that he got by hitting me in the arm. The joys of a 2 year old.

I have to confess to something…. A couple of weeks before the party there was a couple of thing that I worked with Owen on. The first was the question “ How old are you?” let’s just say we are still working on that one. He will answer me 50% of the time. The other 50% I get a smile. The second was blowing out the candle. If I had a candle burning in the house we would sing Happy Birthday and he would blow out the candle. Let’s just say he was a rock star when it came to cake time.

I can’t believe that my little guy is 2. It really does seem like just yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital. Let’s just hope that the terrible 2’s stay away from the buck house.

So much to do... So little time

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a good week. The Buck family is having a very busy week. This weekend we are having Owen's birthday party. So I have been working on get the house clean and goodies for the party. Sorry for the short post this week. But I have been taking a lot of pictures so I can tell you all about every thing next week.
Do you remember a birthday from your childhood that you wish you could relive? I would love to hear about it.
Emily wanted me to let you know that she is helping.

Today is my little guys 2nd birthday. It is hard to think that he is already 2. Time is going by way to fast. When the kids were napping I was able to make his cake, cars. We are giving him a big party this weekend.
Before Owen woke up today I hong party streamers from his door. He liked to run throw them like a car wash. LOL Owen also had fun pulling them down. So when he was taking his nap I put more up. This time Emily helped pull them down. I also made sure to take our birthday picture at 4:20. A picture of just me and party streamersOwen at the time he was born. I hope every had a good day.
