Taylor's birthday party

This year my mom talked me in to giving Taylor a birthday party with his friends. I am so glad I did. We decided to make it a water party, the perks of a summer birthday. We got out his slip n slide, the sprinkler and his pool. The kids had such a fun time playing and it was really fun to watch them getting a long and having fun. We invited; Seth, Liam, Celine, Rob, Conner F and Conner W, Christiaan and then his cousins Allie and Jaxen. It was quite the party.





The slip n slide was a hit once they got the hang of sliding. They would start back on the concrete and then make a run for the slide.



Conner was probably having the most fun. Even though he had a cast on his arm it didn't stop him from playing.


Celine making a run for it.


Kenzie helped Jaxen slide down.



Opening presents, the part everyone likes. He got a lot of cool gifts. They all pitched in helping Taylor open his gifts and play with the toys.


Grandma McCuistion made really cute cupcakes. She used blue frosting and then put a gummy life savor on top with a teddy graham in the middle, like the teddy bear was swimming. What a cute idea. That's what mom's are for, to help me be creative...not my expertise. Thanks mom for doing it! The kids loved them.


After a little more playing we ended Tay's party with a Pinata. He did this at his school and asked if we could do it for his birthday party. I couldn't resist a pinata. They loved it. I thought I got a picture of everyone taking a shot but I guess I didn't.


It took a long time to get this "kung fu panda" to break down. They probably each got 3 turns. Taylor ended up killing it at the end but I filming and didn't get any pictures of it.


Look at Conner's baseball swing. He has the stance down. This kid is going to be a good athlete with all those brothers of his.


Celine and Liam taking at swing at it. Inside was a bag of candy for each person and then they also got a bag of bubbles to take home.


It was such a fun memorable day for Taylor. He has a lot of good friends in the neighborhood.
