"star command, prepare for launch of a 5 year old!"



a few days before coles party, these arrived on some doorsteps...


with this inside...


on the day of the party cole was so excited for his fellow space rangers to arrive!


we had it all set up and ready to go. complete with goody buckets,


treat jars,


and one very intense banner made by one very crazy mother!


we were all set for an infinity and beyond of fun!


first the space rangers decorated their rockets.


while mom and dad put buzz a' top the cake!


(a HUGE shout out to Jen who taught me how to make fondant and made this all happen...she is the only reason this cake was able to come about...and how about those planets and stars? that was all justin folks! as well as the piping along the bottom.)


feel free to ooh and awe...esp after the hours we all spent on it!


but it was worth all worth it when we dug in along with these cute kiddo's!




rangers mckade and kody


ranger matthias


ranger michael.


and rangers carter and max.


(these party favors became swords...of course!)


we even had a few jr rangers and big sisters tag along for the ride!


after pizza (from pizza planet), cake, and a lot of play space ranger battles, it was time for gifts!


and boy was he spoiled...thanks guys!


think he had fun?


thanks to all our friends he sure did!


he got to open one gift from mom and dad after the party, since his actual b-day was not until the next day. he choose to open a pirate gift (his other obsession besides buzz).




what a fun day! thanks for partying with us guys!

Remember back when you thought you weren't crafty?! Look at you now! You're amazing! What lucky kids you have. (And adorable.)

You did so much on that cake and it is a result of a lot of freaking out on my part! I'm so glad it stood up and looked like Toy Story, seriously, half way through that was my priority level! You did such a great job and thanks for the pizza and the fun! Cole is great to have Lily over, she seems totally into it! I haven't been on that much of a "date" for a long time! LOVE IT! I LOVE ALI'S SWIMMING SUIT AT THE BEACH, JEALOUS!
