I'm pretty sure it was a good time but it honestly defined mass chaos.
I love that Papa Trigger and my little Trig share a birthday. I want to have a big birthday party for them as long as Papa is around. This year was a little tough; I was worried about the weather and really worried that I would be in labor so I mostly just acted like it wasn't happening. I didn't plan it as well as I should have and quite honestly I just didn't have the motivation to worry about it; which by the end turned out to be a blessing. It did rain so instead of an outside Cowboy party BBQ with games, horse rides, and a skeet shoot; we did lunch at the school and played games (followed by some better weather so they did actually shoot skeet). I had some organized games to play but that was not happening- Everyone was going crazy. No one could hear or more realistically just didn't listen when I tried to have some order to the party so I just let them do whatever. You can see from the pictures nothing safe was happening but there was a lot of laughing and no major injuries so I'm counting it a success.
after lunch we sang to the birthday boys and opened presents
Tirg was so over stimulated I didn't even have him open his barn that I was so excited about so I'll just have to save that for another post.
The gym is where the chaos was taking place, as you can see it wasn't just the kids...
Because we couldn't shoot guns outside we had a little shoot out of our own indoors. My awesome brother in law Mike made marshmallow guns and the kids (but mostly adults) had a great time shooting each other.
Trig loved his gun! Hannah just love all the marshmallows! Marshmallow guns are really pretty safe and don't hurt so I'm guessing Jake got these enormous welts from an over grown man child who was playing a little too rough. Normally I would pin that right on Dean but honestly all the men were playing the part that day so who knows who's to blame.
See what I mean?
Papa with his sister Cookie and her husband Eldon
Trig was excited to see the pinata that had been at our house, he watched me fill it and kept saying 'treat'
We tried to play 'Pin the Mustache' on the cowboy but the kids were too busy for any organized games so I just left it at that. But for the record Kason was the one that broke the pinata and won the mustache game. I'm going to have a party for him he so cute and excited about everything!
Next the men and older kids went out to shoot skeet, I didn't get any pictures but you can imagine about what it looked like.
