happy super bowl.
i wanted to make football cupcakes for our little super bowl party today. i couldnt find any good inspiration on the internet (read: pinterest!) for cute football cupcakes so i just went with the look i had in mind. at the last second i decided to press my chocolate sequins on the footballs. it looks just like the bumpy leather! (or as craig corrected me: pig skin. duh) hope everyone enjoys the game!

tagg's fourth birthday party
i am technically not supposed to be throwing any parties right now (that was the deal craig and i struck in order for us to go to hawaii in the spring) so technically today was tagg's very low key birthday "get together". these were the invitations for the get together.
tagg was very cute about delivering his invitations to his little friends.
to keep things simple tagg and i chose a color instead of a theme for his party. he chose blue and "turpoise".
the little birthday table. initially, i wanted to put helium in the little water balloons to make them float on their own but the dumb lady at the party store wouldnt do it.
at 11.30am sharp, tagg's friends arrived.
their place settings.
tagg's favorite drink is a blue frostie from the root beer store. and they went perfectly with the party.
the party hats i made didnt last long... but they were cute for a second!
whats a party without the paper striped straws? not a party.
after lunch, it was time for games. first up was the bean bag toss.
tagg stood right there and cheered everyone on.
then it was "pin the candy on tagg's mouth". after i blind-folded tagg he yelled, "i cant see!". sharp as a marble.
and finally it was piñata time! i made the piñata (very time consuming. but very cool to be able to make whatever shape you want in whatever color you want) so it was kind of depressing to see it get ripped to shreds.
tagg cant stop talking about how he was the one to break open the piñata. tagger the bragger.
this was the face he made after he opened his presents. i could eat him.
finally, it was time for cake and ice cream.
the birthday boy.
i asked tagg what his favorite part of the party was and he said "when we hit the pinata and candy came out!".
happy birthday tagg!
april cant come soon enough so i can throw parties on the up and up. :)

happy 4th birthday, tagg!
yesterday, we celebrated tagg's fourth birthday. tagg requested a cake with chocolate frosting. and my aunt had given me chocolate sequins for christmas so i was excited to use them.
tagg had his little friend, charlie, come over to play. for lunch we headed over to "donalds". they had a fabulous time (i actually let my boys go in the play-structure thingy). tagg and charlie discovered the blow dryers in the bathroom and had a blast playing/screaming under the hot air until the manager came in and kicked us out. :)
later, we had family come over for cake and presents.
tagg sure is one spoiled little boy. he is the first grandbaby on each side and it shows!! happy birthday, my taggy. i love you more than you could know.

"why am i sucking on my fum?"
thats what tagg just said when he saw this picture. good question tagg. why WERE you sucking on your thumb? its ok though. it was his first time standing in front of all his friends in primary. they all sang happy birthday to him. and i might have cried. so what?
i snapped this picture of tagg and his friends as they were lined up ready to go into primary. he was being sassy and telling me to bug off. i am already the annoying mom my kids just try to get rid of.
