Let the Mario Games Begin...

Riley wanted a Mario themed party this year, so I researched all of the fun Mario games I could! All of the boys received a Mario or Luigi Hat and goody bag.

Then we had a Mario Kart Tournament

And of course pin the mustache on Mario!

And an old classic...the cottonball game-who can get the most cottonballs in the other pan in 1 minute! We used to play this when I was little!

And a Mario Party just wouldn't be complete without playing Musical Mushrooms {Musical Chairs with Mario mushrooms on the chairs!}

And the Party was a hit because the one and only MARIO actually came to visit the boys! I had no idea Regan was even home while I was playing games with the boys. Out of nowhere, Regan appears all dressed up as Mario and he says in his Mario voice, "di di di da da da {Mario theme song} Hi, I'm Mario!} The boys all loved it except the birthday boy! All of the other boys were cheering for Mario, and all Riley had to say was "Daaaaaad---Daaaaaaaad!" in a I'm embarrased right now voice! It was hilarious! Good job to Dad of the year for dressing up like Mario! The party was a hit!

Birthday Cake!!!

I made 2 cakes for Riley's birthday this past weekend! The first was of course, Mario themed! I thought it turned out cute, but fondant simply does not taste good! It is only for decoration in my opinion. Who would want to each sugar flavored play dough? Anyway, Riley LOVED his cake for his friend birthday party, and also his cake he shared with Aunt Angie since their birthday's are a day apart! Happy 7th Birthday to Riley and 17th Birthday to Angie!!!

GNO {Girls Night Out}

I look forward to this every year now! The 28hour scrapbook overnighter!!! Some people might think this is a bit crazy, but for me, it is called catch up time! I am able to sit down uninterupted for hours and hours and catch up on my families scrapbooks!!! This year, I started in at 3:00 Friday afternoon, made it until 12:45 am, woke up at 6:40 and was scrapbooking on Saturday from 7 am until 4:30 pm! Needless to say, I got a lot done! 120 pages to be exact! AND I won the big prize again this year! This year it was a cool paper cutter-you know, the ones they have at school that you can cut your finger off with! Oh-if I could choose one activity to do, it would be scrapbooking for hours and hours!

Can you even believe that I have a U on my face? I can't! My friends made me do it! Actually I had such a fun time with my Herriman Friends at the U of U gymnastics meet in February! We took our girls out to dinner, then to the meet. It was just fun to catch up with them! When I got home, Riley was VERY concerned that I had turned to the DARK side! He told me that I shouldn't had let my friends do that to me!!! Don't worry, I am still a true blue BYU fan-especially this week with the tournament going on!! Go Cougs!

My 2 sisters Angie and Chrissy were able to spend a few days with us while my parents went to Hawaii! It was SO much fun to have them hang out with me and the kids all weekend. On one of the nights, we went to the Utah Symphony with Ashley and out to the Blue Lemon! It was a great night! I love spending time with my sisters!!!
