Slaying the Dragon

King Hunter gets ready to fight the ferocious dragon that's been threatening his castle.
Sir Logan battles it out with the the dragon...... Kiersten takes her try at the dangerous dragon.......

Sir Kaden attempts to slay the dragon...........

King Hunter is the bravest Knight of all and he takes down the dragon!

As always the kids loved the dragon pinata.

The Royal Cake

What a great cake for a King and knights party huh? Great job Debbie, everyone loved the cake as always.

Happy Birthday King Hunter!

King Hunter is an amazing leader and such a strong person. It is an honor to be his mother! Wow I am a mother of a King!!!

This was Hunter's favorite party he said.................then he added well so far. I don't think I am out doing this one.

The Castle, the King, his Knights and a Wizard.............

King Hunter, his Royal Knights and the Wizard infront of the castle.
This is such a sweet fort. We had to stain it and get new swings and slide (which comes out the back) but it looks brand new. It was made by the Amish people in Pennsylvania, what a find for a yardsale in Pima huh? Hunter wanted to have a picture with him as King infront of the castle.
King Hunter swinging on his bouy ball. This is an awesome attachment for swingsets. It makes me want to get on it and swing.............................well the temptation wa too big and I did................it was FUN! What a King!

Look at those fierce Knights!

Kaden and Logan having a great sword fight!

The Royal Family

This is our Royal family infront of our castle. We found this castle at a yardsale, well my dad found it. It is such a treasure! Makes me want to be a kids!

The FEAST............

We had a Royal Feast as part of the birthday celebration! There was roasted chicken, grilled corn on the cob, seasoned red potaotes, different types of bread to rip pieces off of and bottled rootbeer. A grand feast it was!
King Hunter seems to have a silly side. He enjoyed his royal feast and all his birthday festivities.

Jousting Kung Fu Panda

The Castle was invaded by Kung Fu Panda and all the knights had to use their jousting skills to conquer him. The kids thought this was WONDERFUL!!! King Hunter was so brave and let his knight is the battle.

Oh I think you got him King!

Sir Kaden Kouts was a fierce knight and had amazing sword skills. The boys couldn't get enough of fighting the Panda. Sir Doyle strikes and gives Kung Fu Panda a forceful blow.
Sir Logan had a hard time not laughing and smiling, but his fighting skills are top nouch for sure! I thought a giant cut out would be fun for the kids and this was all the our theater had. The kids thought it was so cool. The kept wanting to joust again and again.

Panning for GOLD...........

One of the games was panning for GOLD NUGGETS. The boys loved it and got so excited when they would find another piece of gold.

WOW, look at all those GOLD nuggets!

We had two different places for panning so that the boys wouldn't have to wait as long and it worked out great. Justin helped with one and I helped with the other, while my wonderful mother-in-law took pictures and video for us.

The Wizard and Knightress Kiersten looking fro any signs of GOLD. Kiersten was lucky because she got to be the only girl who got to play in the games.

Alright I see GOLD!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye

Sorry I got my pictures a little out of order. The party was so fun, Justin was a wonderful Wizard and all the kids just loved him. He loves to be the hero of our kids parties!

So cute King Hunter and his Royal Knights!

These were the Royal invites for King Hunter's Birthday Celebration! We had his party several weeks late due to other scheduled things, so I was so excited for it to finally be here. I love parties with a theme and this one was especially fun for me...................it was like therapy to plan! We decided to have seven little boys come for the first hour and play some fun games, then @ 5 all the girls come to join in the feast and rest of the birthday festivities.
Here is the Wizard giving King Hunter and his Knights a ride on the royal horses. The boys loved being knights on the horses. Sir Jacob was a noble knight!

King Hunter is so brave and honest.

Sir Hunter Seline is a strong knight.

Sir Logan is a brave and very adorable knight.

The Training Wheels are OFF.............

Hunter just decided he wanted his training wheels off and he could do it by himself he said. To be honest I thought it was going to be a disaster. When he rode his bike with the training wheels on it didn't seem like he would be ready for them to come off anytime soon. I took them off and took about 5 minutes telling him a few techniques and AWAY HE WENT!

I couldn't believe he just took off and boom he could ride his bike. He is growning up so much I hate it. While I was gone to Chicago my Wonderful Mother-in-law even taught him how to tie his shoes. He was so excited to show me when I got off the plane. Five year olds learn some fun stuff Hunter said.

What A Stud!

We tricked Justin when he got home from a meeting. Hunter asked him if he could help him learn to ride his bike and then Hunter just took off. Justin was really surprised.

Logan said "Look Mommy I do it, I do it too!" Do you like the pink bike?

Walking with Dinosaurs

I had it planned out where Justin and the kids picked me up from the airport Friday evening (Sept. 12th) and the next day we took the kids to Walking with the Dinosaurs. It was really fun to take the kids to do something fun. They loved it!

See the guy standing down on the stage..............yea the dinosaurs were impressive to say the least. Logan got fussy during the intermission because he wanted to see more of the dinosaurs. Kiersten loved all the information they gave about the dinosaurs. She told me she thought is was very interesting!

ROAR!!!!!!!!

The kids especially loved seeing the mommy and baby T-Rex.

Don't ya love Logan's expression.

Kiersten and Maranda enjoying some popcorn. Our good friends the Smith's met up with us at the show and afterwards we took the kids to Chuck'e Cheese for some more fun.

Logan waiting to see some Dinosaurs.............
