Hot Dog!

On Monday, June 22nd, Reagan turned 3!! We had a Mickey Mouse birthday party for her at the local park and even though it was pretty hot, we found some shade and it turned out pretty good. We had some pizza and drinks, the kids played as everyone arrived.


We had a few games. Matt was in charge of this section he did a dang good job. Here he is explaining the water balloon games.
We started out with a water balloon race.
The kids divided into 2 teams and had to race back and forth transferring the water balloons.
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.Sweet Caleb.
Eliza was smiling and ready for the races.
Matt and I demonstrated the water balloon toss.
Most of the kids didn't get the concept of the toss and so we just threw our water balloons and watched them break.
Some of the older boys did, though. Trey enjoyed the toss!
The kids waiting for our next game: Pin the Tail on Mickey!!!
Lining up to pin the tail.
Blake pinning the tail, blindfolded.
Reagan refused to be blindfolded. She was nowhere near the tail, either :)
Time for the Mickey pinata!!
Tyler takes a swing. Makes a small dent in the ear.
Most of the kids take swings. Not much happening to Mickey.
The older boys take swings with a harder instrument.The birthday girl even gets a good whack at it.
Yeah, not much happening to Mickey. Someone built that thing well :)
Matt decides he may need to do the honorsCandy!!!!
Addie grabbing some of the loot.
Some of the moms help and baby Jonah snoozes through it all!
Rachel and her candy bag.
All that was left of our beloved Mickey pinata.
Nolan manned the balloons.
Time for cupcakes. It was a hot day, so you can see my cupcakes melted!
Blowing out the candles.
Enjoying some melted cupcakes.
Justin loved his.So did Reagan, after she played in the dirt.
Thanks for the frosting, mom, it was delish!
Present were next. Daniel helped Reagan figure out her purse.
Isaac and Daniel looked on as she unwrapped.After about two presents, it was time for a meltdown.Reagan chilled with Josh while Matt opened most of her gifts.
Posing for a group picture, this was after Tyler, Megan and Eliza left, though.
Thank you friends!! Hot diggity dog!


We went home and gave Reagan a nice long nap. After all, being the birthday girl is hard stuff.
Reagan wanted to eat dinner with Addie, so we headed to Chili's that night.The waiter said she could have a free dessert, so mom took control and chose it for her (wink, wink). What a surprise, it was the molten lava cake.
What a good day, I can't believe that she is 3! Time flies. It's been great.

That was a fun party, you guys went all out. Thanks again for inviting the boys, they loved it!

I can't believe Reagan is 3 either. It seems like last week when we had your shower for her.

That was an awesome party! I still can't believe how well that pinata turned out.
Thanks for the Chili's invite too. We loved celebrating with the birthday girl!!

Looks like you guys went all out, awesome party! I love that Reagan refused to put on the blindfold, I guess Matt is already teaching her his cheating ways
