Ethan requested a Mario themed birthday party this year. We had a lot of fun at our party, and I had a lot of fun creating decorations, and favor bags for our guests.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the printables that I used for our party you can find here: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzv2Ix2hcPrMakFCZThQZWt3eGs/edit?usp=sharing">https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzv2Ix2hcPrMakFCZThQZWt3eGs/edit?usp=sharing</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The printables include: wall decorations, napkin ring wrappers, juice box wrappers, Mario favor bag face and hat, fire balls bag topper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decorated a wall in my house as a scene from the Mario game. This became the backdrop for photos with friends, and I set up a bench in front of this wall so he could sit in front of it when opening his gifts. This was by far his favorite part. He asked if we could leave it up for a "LONG TIME, because it's so COOL." </div>

I love Dollar Tree, and a lot of what you see here I purchased there. The vinyl tablecloth, the streamers, balloons, plates, napkins, and the Mario candies! The Mario centerpiece was purchased at Zurchers. </div>

Here is a close up of one of the table settings. I made a the napkin ring and the wrapper for the juice boxes on my computer and printed them off. The Mario & Luigi hats were made out of foam sheets, very thin elastic, and a glue gun. </div>

These are the party favor bags. I purchased the lunch sacks at the Dollar Tree, and cut the top 2.5 inches off of them. The Mario and Luigi hats, as well as the faces can be found in the PDF printable to print, cut and glue.</div>

I purchased cheese balls at Target in a big container, and scooped them into gift bags. I created the Fire power top, and then folded down the bag and stapled the tag on top. The question boxes are filled with Chocolate coins found at the party store, and the Mario gummies I bought at Zurchers.</div>

Ethan had so much fun this year on his Birthday! We were able to invite all his friends from the neighborhood, and a few other friends too. The boys came, had pizza, ate cake, played games, and opened presents. They all seemed to be having a great time, and enjoyed spending time together! It got a little loud, but I'm not sure that 10 boys in 1 house could possibly be quiet! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ethan LOVED the presents that his wonderful friends brought:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alex - fun interactive world map</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ayden - Nerf disk shooter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chris Lee - Zombie Hot Wheels Track</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kaicyn - Lego Table and Lego's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hudson - Mario Lego's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mason - Superman Lego's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Parker - Money</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spencer - A Skyland Figuring</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tanner - Nerf Guns</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ethan's cake turned out to be a labor of love. It's not a very big cake, but it took me about 5 hours to decorate it. (I purchased all the fondant, and the frosting for the cake, so you wouldn't have thought it would have taken so long) I bought blue and white fondant. So I colored most of the fondant myself. This took quite a bit of time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Mario's face, I drew a picture of his face, and then laid the picture on top of rolled out fondant. I then used a toothpick and poked holes around my drawing and then used a knife to cut each piece out. This method seemed to work out well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not cake boss worthy, but it turned out okay. A class might be helpful in the future so I can learn how to get everything nice and smooth and shiny.</div>

Then we played squash the Goomba's. The kids each had a Goomba tied to their ankle. Their job was to not let their Goomba get popped, but pop everyone else's Goomba. Spencer was so cute at this game. He would grab the Goomba and bite it to pop it. He obviously was the winner! :)</div>

This little lady hasn't been the easiest to potty train. In fact, I've been working on getting her potty trained for the last 7 months. I think it may have something to do with her stubborn personality. She knows when she needs to go, and will sometimes go on the potty, but I can't get her to consistently go.

We should have given Ethan a different name, and that name should have been Stubborn. Man, this kid kills me. After a few hours of playing, I informed him that he needed to clean up his room, and that he wasn't allowed out of his room until it was clean. You can see that he's laying on his bed rather than clean. In fact, he laid on his bed for 2 hours! I finally went in and let him know that in 10 minutes I'd be in to clean up, and that what I picked up would be going in the garbage can. This motivated him and he was able to get his room clean, but we fight about this EVERY SINGLE DAY!! Yikes.</div>

This winter, the kids had a ball playing in the snow. If a flake fell, they both wanted to get their gear on and head outside to play. I can't even begin to count the number of times Ethan was disappointed because there wasn't enough snow to make a snow ball. Luckily, we ended up with plenty of the white stuff this winter, and they had tons of fun playing in it.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Uncle Gary and Dad helped Ethan make this fort! It didn't melt until April! :)</div>

Instead of limiting it to just one superhero, we decided to invite all superhero's to attend. <br />
<br />
We made a really fun invitation for his party. He thought it was AWESOME to dress up like Clark Kent/Superman and take some pictures for his party invite. I think it turned out pretty darn cute.<br />

Christmas morning was super fun this year, as both kiddos were excited to see what Santa had brought. Here is the loot before they opened anything. </div>

Addy on the other hand saw this crib and that pretty much did it for her. She really wasn't interested in opening any other presents.</div>

I finally started opening for her, and once she saw this little minnie mouse toy, she decided she just might want to play with it!<br />

Ethan asked Santa for the bat cave, and here he is opening it. He was thrilled beyond belief to get this present, and has been so cute playing with all the good guys and bad guys.<br />

Addy got this cute little pop up minnie mouse boutique. This is the ONLY time she's sat in it at all since Christmas. As you can see, she has a binki in her mouth. She got a bag of baby doll stuff, and this little gem was in the bag. She found it and popped it in her mouth and wouldn't take it out. not sure what the fascination is with the binki lately, because she never even took a binki as a baby.<br />

We got the kids this awesome remote control car. They can drive it, or you can drive it with a remote. I think Andy's had more fun with it than the kids have, but they seem to like riding around in it. You can even plug your ipod into it and play music. Pretty cool.<br />

We also gave them a game to play as a family, and a few games for the wii that they can play. <br />

I gave Andy a pretty awesome fishing tackle box for Christmas, and Andy gave me a crafting table to add to my craft room. <br />

It really was a fun christmas morning, and we sure enjoyed opening presents, and playing with new things.Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14507480676819759464noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394141300282192283.post-65242578999747146522013-01-06T17:04:00.001-08:002013-01-06T17:04:34.419-08:00Bateman Family Christmas Party<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the annual Bateman Christmas party we always get together, have a fantastic dinner, do a craft activity of some sort, and then we always read the Christmas story from the bible and have the kids play the parts. This year was the first year that Ethan wanted to participate, and he got to be Joseph. He was super cute, and helped Mary in with the baby. Addy wouldn't really participate, but couldn't help but get involved when she saw all the attention they all were getting.</div>

And then my Aunt Janet made all the kids hooded bath towels. Addy is laying on hers here with her lady bug back pack as well. Her towel is also a lady bug and is super cute. She uses it every night at bath time, and looks adorable in it.<br />

Mr. man refuses to believe this is a bath towel and was determined that instead it is a blanket. So, he's worn it quite a bit and even sleeps in it. It's a super cute dinosaur! :) Thanks Janet for all the work on these. They are super cute.<br />

We had a lot of fun at the Allen family Christmas party this year. Thanks to Jen & Ricky for organizing it this year. We had dinner, and then Santa came to visit the kiddos. Addy still wasn't too thrilled to see old St. Nic but was good long enough to take her present from him! :)</div>

Ethan on the other hand was thrilled, and sat on Santa's lap and asked for a Hulk action figure. Well, Santa already knew he wanted it, and when he unwrapped that box and saw Hulk I think he almost died!<br />

Ethan was thrilled beyond belief thinking he'd get to see Santa, so he was more than willing to venture from his normal super hero attire into something that looked a little nicer. Little Miss on the other hand was a joy to get ready for this moment. Andy had her all ready and then she spilled rootbeer all over her shirt, so we stopped at JC Penney's to get another one. She wasn't thrilled at all about changing, and then when she saw Santa, she lost it. <br />

Once we were done and had purchased the pictures, she pointed to Santa and was really excited that she got to see him. Anyway, we hope she'll like him a little more next year! :)</div>

I'm in love with this machine and have already made several fun projects with it. It cuts vinyl, paper, fabric, etc. <br />
<br />
On the night of my bday, we went out to joe's crab shack. I of course, had a huge bucket of crab legs. It just doesn't get any better than crab legs! Ethan wanted to try the crab too, so we got him a kid bucket of crab legs. After one bite he decided he was not a fan. The rest of us thoroughly enjoyed our seafood! :)<br />

This year, twinkle the elf started visiting our house. He came right after Thanksgiving and has been hiding all over the place. He mostly just sits somewhere quietly to watch over the kids, and then at night reports to Santa about their behavior during the day. He played a trick on us one day . . . he hid in the same spot twice. So, Ethan politely asked him if he'd move spots if he went and hide. Luckily, Twinkle was able to move while Ethan hid. The kids both really enjoyed getting up in the morning and finding where Twinkle was hidden. Here are a few of the spots he hid in while he stayed at our house:</div>

I think she may have developed some of my OCD's. YIKES!!!!!! After she finished laying out the towels, so lined up all of my hot pads. I found it interesting that she ordered them with the 2 silicone ones in the front, the 2 black ones at the back, and all the others in the middle. This little one cracks me up and certainly keeps me on my toes.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwuzX0PjswypLyW9OWNrLiqgROiPlAyQfPU8n2VKmpavAkOs8zPK4H3hWPlUMlFstyFfyqXuF9xXrkmLd8gpVQMWZ5cZrNB91eYNrTCQkRDt2Vydx8oWxbdPMRYm2KBC0q536RGbT6Zr8/s1600/IMG_1656.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwuzX0PjswypLyW9OWNrLiqgROiPlAyQfPU8n2VKmpavAkOs8zPK4H3hWPlUMlFstyFfyqXuF9xXrkmLd8gpVQMWZ5cZrNB91eYNrTCQkRDt2Vydx8oWxbdPMRYm2KBC0q536RGbT6Zr8/s320/IMG_1656.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>

As per typical Utah style, we went from 70 degrees to Snow in less than 24 hours for our first Snow storm of the season. And it was a doozy! We got about 6 inches over night, and Ethan was thrilled about going out to play in it. Addy on the other hand wasn't too thrilled, but I managed to get her dressed and outside. She sat in her stroller for the majority of our playtime, but eventually ventured out in the snow. </div>

I was thrilled for her. Rachel let me know that she'd seen a Pin that Sara had posted on Pinterest informing folks that she'd like to have a photographer at the engagement to document the event, and asked if I'd snap some pics! Of course I said yes, and had the great opportunity of witnessing one of the happiest moments in a persons life.<br />
<br />
It all was pretty funny. I had on a black hoodie sweatshirt and black pants with my camera and HUGE lens. Rachel walked me out to the spot where he would pop the question, and we looked around for a hiding spot so that she wouldn't notice me. I totally looked like a stalker! :)<br />
<br />
Anyway, it was a beautiful setting, with 2 beautiful kids, on a beautiful day. I'm so happy for them. Here are some of the pics that I snapped for them.<br />

This year Andy let me know he'd like a fishing trip to Flaming Gorge for his birthday present. So, he spent his b-day weekend out of town with his buddies Matt & Roy. They had a great time and enjoyed fishing, and I was thrilled that Andy brought home some yummy fish to eat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I should have taken some pictures of the birthday dinner I guess. I made him some meatloaf (his favorite) as well as a Key Lime Pie (as per request). After our meatloaf dinner, I opened up the fridge to get the pie and the whole thing landed upside down on my kitchen floor. UGH! So, the next day I made him some delicious Key Lime Pie Cupcakes to make up for it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the next month, we will actually be the same age . . . why is this important, because technically I'm 11 months older than he is and he NEVER lets me forget! :) I love you babe, and am so happy that I have you in my life. I hope your birthday was exactly what you needed.</div>

This year, we went to Kim's Annual Halloween Party and had SO MUCH FUN! In fact, I don't think I've laughed as hard in years. Andy agreed to go, but that meant that he had to dress up for Halloween. He wasn't too thrilled about this but an awesome Halloween app for his phone that came with a wound that could be taped into a shirt. So, we decided we'd go as zombies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started out our evening at Bucca!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And had dinner with this fantastic and fun group of people. You can see the costumes were AMAZING! We decided that we needed to step it up a bit for next year. Our favorites included the Deer in Headlights, Frankenstein and his Bride, and Napoleon Dynamite and Deb.</div>

Once dinner was over, we split up into teams and loaded up into cars for our scavenger hunt. I don't have all the pics of the fun things we did, but here are a few of them . . .<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, we had to do some pole dancing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

While at the park pole dancing, and going down the slide, we ran into this police officer, which was lucky, because if you got a picture of someone in your group handcuffed, you got special bonus points! :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then we had to pump gas and wash windows for someone. I think we almost gave this poor lady a heart attack when we jumped out of the car and let her know we'd like to pump her gas. She told us she thought we were going to mug her.<br />
<br />

Then we went off to walmart. Our next chore was to get our picture taken with a walmart greeter. Katniss kindly asked the greeter, who said it was against policy. I was too far away to hear this conversation, and was just thinking about snapping a picture. Luckily she was savvy enough to engage him in conversation long enough that he didn't notice.<br />

Next we had to push someone's groceries out of the store and to their car, and got extra bonus points if that person would get in their shopping cart. So, we talked this nice man into helping us, and his cute son got in the cart!<br />

Of course, we won, and we had SO MUCH FUN! Thanks to Kim and Craig for hosting and arranging everything. It was a night to remember. On our way home from the party, Andy began planning our outfits for next year! He's hoping to win the best costume award next year!Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14507480676819759464noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394141300282192283.post-64921747876013474752012-11-01T15:05:00.001-07:002012-11-01T15:05:46.181-07:00Halloween<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Andy LOVES halloween. I think that may actually be an understatement. Anyway, we usually have the best decorated halloween house on the block because of Andy's efforts! :)</div>

This is something new that I added this year to my indoor Halloween decor. The fun jars are recycled pickle jars. I glued skulls on the lids, and spray painted them black. Then I purchased the books from the DI and painted them. It turned out to be a fun little addition.</div>

We took a trip to Peterson farms, a local farm near our house to pick out our pumpkins for the year. They had a fun little petting zoo this year that the kids loved. <br />

Miss Addy was fascinated by the pumpkins, and just enjoyed walking around taking a little look at all of them. We probably picked the WORST day of the year to go to the pumpkin patch. I think it was the only day in October that was less than 60 degrees. They froze, but they had a good time, and we brought home 4 great pumpkins to carve up.<br />

Grandma and Grandpa T had a fun halloween party this year while Colby and Suzanne were in town. The kids dressed up and we played fun carnival games, and had a halloween dinner. The kids had a ball together, and it was so much fun to have the them in town.<br />

We also took the kiddos to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving point. Ethan had a ball playing in the bouncy houses and all of the wooden play sets. He also had the opportunity to get his face painted, which was the highlight for him. :)<br />

On the 30th, we had our Ward Halloween party, which yours truly had to plan. It was a night of craziness. We had dinner and a carnival. Over 250 folks showed up. How do I know this? I purchased 250 bowls for soups, and we ran out of bowls. I think people had a good time, but who knows. <br />
<br />
For Halloween night, miss Addy was snow white, Ethan was a Power Ranger, and so I decided to dress up as the evil queen. Andy stayed home and manned the house for the trick or treaters, and I took the kids out to see the Grandparents, and through the neighborhood. They got way too much candy, but had so much fun.<br />
<br />
Grandma A gave the kids donuts while at her house, and Ethan had eaten half of it and left the other half on his car seat when we went into Grandma T's house. When Grandma T went to buckle him in his seat, she accidentally put her finger into his donut. She picked it up and handed it to him and he made a strange gesture and said "Grandma, I don't eat things that other peoples hands have touched." I don't know if he recently had a lesson on germs at pre-school or what, but it was too funny.<br />

Obviously this post is late! I think this may have happened sometime in July! Anyway, the kids certainly had a great time this summer playing in the water. I especially love playing in the pool at Grandma and Grandpa T's house. They have plenty of nice sunny spots for the pool, and plenty of shady spots for the adults to sit and visit with the kiddos play. Little miss Addy thought it was great to be in charge of the hose, and had fun squirting her brother.</div>
