It was a simple party. We had it outside and got out a bunch of our water toys. Being a holiday weekend, a lot of our friends were out of town or busy but Amy and Erin and their families came as well as our next door neighbor and her son (Lane) who is just a few months younger than Carter.
I made a banner to match Rylan's birthday invitation ...
And decorated the back deck with matching balloons ...
And we set up all the toys in the backyard ...
We got pizza from Snappy Tomatoes and had fresh fruit, pretzels, and spinach dip. And lots of beer for the adults because it was HOT. It was sunny and in the mid-90s.
We had cupcakes and sang to Rylan ...
Rylan wasn't too sure about the cupcake but did put his hands in the icing ...
Like Carter, Rylan prefers to not get dirty and eat cupcakes with a fork ...
When will I learn about colored icing?!?
I had gotten black and yellow icing on Carter's cupcakes for his construction themed party and the kids that had the black ones got really stained. This bright blue wasn't much better!
The kids didn't seem to notice how hot it was and had fun playing.
Carter and Caitlyn enjoyed pushing Rylan in the swing (Rylan loved it too) ...
Baby Izzy does an awesome job of hanging out and playing on her own ...
Cooper and Lily and fun spraying their dad (Matt) with water guns ...
Thanks everyone who was able to come and thanks for the awesome gifts!!!
