Birthday and Basketball fun

This weekend was full of basketball and birthday fun with my family!
Hunter got a cool new Jazz jersey and went to the Dixie State Girls Basketball game, he got some pointers from my Dads friends daughter Rachel, who is on the team! He was in heaven!






Go Dixie and GO Rachel!!!


Since my Dad won't be down for his birthday we took him to Pizza Factory for his number pizza!

Basketball season

Hunter played in his first basketball game and it was so fun to watch. He had two games and scored the only 3 point! The first game he was getting a feel of what it was like to play against another team and by the 2nd game figured it out! We can't wait to see how much he will learn this season! TJ and his cousin Brock are coaching the same boys again, I love how all these boys play all the different sports together, they are so much fun to watch play and grow. Hunter had quite the turn out of fans, thanks to all our family who came to support his new sport adventure! Go Celtics!

Scouts

Hunter is growing up, it's so fun watching him do fun new things but so sad because he isn't a Little boy anymore, Cub Scouts here comes Hunter!

Ms Lambert birthday

I brought a cake for Hunter's class so they could celebrate Ms Lamberts birthday! They loved it!

Mad Scientist Party

Welcome to Hunter's Mad Scientist lab


I am addicted, I admit it I love parties, I love planning them and surfing the web for fun ideas and then coming up with my own version. I love looking around for cheap things I can use, when Hunter said he wanted a Mad Scientist party I thought it would be impossible but I think I pulled it off with great success! You can't go out and buy things so I made almost everything. On the plus side I had most of the supplies needed and got a ton of things on sale after Halloween. Yes my kids know what kind of party they want months in advance and the rule is once they tell me they can't change their minds.
Starting with the table
I didn't have time to have them build marshmallows towers or make their own cupcakes but the table had tons of glass jars filled with candy, colored water, frozen skull, frozen brain then we added dry ice to make the water bubble and smoke. It sounded just like a lab, made me happy and the boys thought it was cool.




Also on the table I had Radioactive glow in the dark sticks and drinking straws, mad scientist glasses, crazy straws, and jello filled petri-dish for them to take home in their Biohazard bags



We had Pizza and breadtwists and Toxic waste, I was going to do sludge and had clear plastic cups marked with ML measurements to look like bleakers but last minute found the 6 pack of Orange soda in bottles for $2!!

And the cake idea was from family fun, it's suppose to be a flask but well, let's just say I suck at making cakes lol. I always find cute ones but they don't turn out at all how they are suppose to ;) I used a pvc pipe with an end cap, put it in the middle of two bunt cakes and frosted it, then we added dry ice and warm water to produce the smoke


Then the thank you notes, I filled plastic test tubes with green pop rocks and the note said "Thanks you rock!"
For the experiment's we did:

Slime, bouncy balls, balloon blow up, C02 sandwiches, lava lamps, Rocket launchers, and the big finale... Diet Coke Geysers. I also had the 2 liter bottles to do tornados but we didnt have time. I printed and laminated all the instructions for each experiment for the boys to take home.



Here are some pictures of the boys during the party.

This smile

This smile on this cute guys face makes it all worth it, pictures to come of the party fun! Man we had a great time and I will need a week to recover lol. When I tucked Hunter in tonight he told me I was the best mom in the world and thanked me for making his birthday so special. Man that kid knows what to say to make his Mom cry.
