Just some pictures..

 

After dinner, we went out side and played.  He still has some remnants of some yummy bbq too on his face.  :)

He looks like he’s up to no good, lol.

   

I got a sweet smile and a sneaky smile.

Skylar got a Plasma car from his maw maw and paw paw for his birthday and he’s starting to get the hang of it now.  It’s really easy to maneuver.  No batteries needed!  Woo hoo!  It’s for ages 3-69 and can hold 220 pounds or less, so guess whose played with this new toy more than him?  hmmmm…

Birthday Party at School

Skylar just woke from his nap and it was time for his birthday party.  He was happy to see me, although it doesn’t appear that way, lol!

His teeth are filled with chocolate, lol.  This shirt is so very appropriate for all that he’s eating.  He promotes healthy eating, but then you look at his plate….

    

Makayla is his best friend.  They are partners in crime, but they constantly tattle on one another.  They fight so much, but then are such best friends, lol!  She’s 2 days younger than him.  Gabe is Skylar’s other good friend in the class.  They play with the legos and help each other carry toys or put them up.  I was laughing a lot when I was in there.  Kids are so cute!

Hot and Humid….Happy Birthday Skylar!

  Oh my gosh, I say this every year, but this time his birthday party was on seriously, the hottest day of the year!!  Just walking outside, I started to sweat.  So needless to say…I was looking hot….literally, ha!  Above is the banner I made.  His theme was planes trains and automobiles.  Oh….we finally got a fence for the back yard!  It took us 2 years, but … we got one.  :)

I made these invites and individually cut each one to look like an actual ticket.  I can’t take all the credit though, I found the design on the web and just did my sneaky work in photoshop to make them my own.  :)   A funny story that I thought I should mention, is that my mom thought I was sending her a plane ticket to go somewhere when she opened it up.  That is until she actually read the ticket. :)  Gotta love Nanny!

The cake that I worked on all day Friday to make my little man’s eyes light up.  He was so excited and kept saying, “That’s my cake!!  Everything was edible too, except for the wires holding the balloon letters and the airplane candle holders.  I made the trains and the car the weekend before out of fondant.  I actually got several people asking me to make cakes for their upcoming events after I posted it on FB, lol.  Who knows, maybe I can have a side business.  :)

Up close of the front and the back of the cake. 

I’m so sad that I didn’t get the shots I wanted from the party, but there is always next year.  Thanks To Kelly though, she did take pictures with my camera when I was busy hosting. :)  Look how hot he looks here.   I found his shirt at Target and thought it was appropriate for the theme of his party.  It had all modes of transportation by Tonka.  :)  I got lucky with this one too, since I forgot to buy him a personalized birthday shirt in advance, ahah!

 

We had fresh blueberries picked by Skylar’s G-ma (Skylar’s maw maw’s mom).  He loved them!!

The entertainment was the big dino bounce house and all of Skylar’s outside toys, which also included water guns.  There were a few water gun fights being held.  I don’t think anyone minded if they got hit though.  Again, it was like 103 degrees!

The gift bags were water guns (totally appropriate), bubbles (everyone loves them), transportation suckers (airplanes, trains or cars), silly band bracelets (all modes of transportation) and Rice Krispies (no reason, only because they are awesome).  We also had books for the little ones.  I made my labels for the bags as well.  I’m not so good with the alignment for the round ones, lol.

     

I wished you could see the food here in person.  We of course, provided the pizza, fresh watermelon, chips, the cake and most of the drinks (lemonade, water, juice boxes, sodas and “daddy’s juice”)

We also had this on the menu too- (all courtesy of my mom’s friends)  They are always invited!!

* Lumpia-egg rolls

* Pancit

* Rice cakes, aka sticky rice (Filipino dessert)

* Filipino Vegetables with Chicken dish (ok, I don’t know the real name)

* Shrimp Fried Rice

* homemade BBQ

* Marinated Grilled Pork

* Baked Mac and Cheese (my absolute favorite)

A pic of a few of the cooks

After we ate, I heard from several kids, that they wanted to cut into the cake and so I finally said ok, it’s time for cake! 

Poor Serenity…she really wanted some cake. 

      

Happy Birthday Skylar!

Blowing out his candles, such a bog boy!

Maw Maw was so happy when he blew out all his candles. 

He loves money.  I don’t think he knows what it is really, but he loves it all the same!

This was his favorite part of the day.  He loved opening presents!!

Little Miss Lo flashing everyone lol!

Kelly and Skylar.  He’s doing his blue steel pose.  The Lau Gang about to leave with their goodies!

I made a photo op board for the guest and took several pictures.  It was too cute.

I loved the fact that I could have eaten that whole cake and you wouldn’t been able to tell, haha!  Photo boards rule!!

Maw Maw and Paw Paw

               Nanny and Aunt Mely both flying the plane.  You know what they say about Asians and driving….uh uh :)

I can’t believe Skylar is 3 years old.  The time has really flown by.  People say that all the time and you don’t really think about it, until it happens and it really does go by fast.  He’s so funny one moment and can be quite mean the next, but he’s absolutely perfect to us. 

Happy Birthday Skylar!!

The Dash Baseball

On Friday night, we went to a 30th birthday bash at the WS Dash game and we won!  We stayed at the party deck and  had unlimited food and non alcoholic drinks for the night and we got dash hats.  We had a great time.  We brought Skylar and it was his first ever baseball game.  He did pretty well…I mean he couldn’t stay still, but there was a lot going on, so I don’t blame him one bit. 

 

Kim finally joined the club.  The wonderful world of 30’s!

 

Skylar wasn’t sure about “Bolt” at first, but then changed his mind and gave him five.  He called him red monster after that and would wave at him.   

  

Skylar wore his hat.  It was slightly big….

We even saw the fireworks after the game that were totally worth it the drive to W-S!  Skylar had his fingers in his ears the whole time, but he wasn’t scared one bit.
