Maddox and Ryder’s SC Gamecock Baseball Party!!!

On June 14th 2014….I threw the boys a joint birthday party.  

This years party was a South Carolina Gamecocks Baseball theme.  Mainly because….they love baseball and they love the Gamecocks….so why not!  I wanted this party to be cheap, painless, and super simple…..and that is was!  We left for our cruise 15 hours after the party was over so my mind was a bit all over the place that week with trying to prepare for everything.  I am a procrastinator and I get overwhelmed easily so you can imagine!!

But the boys had a blast and so did all their friends so….winning!!!

Pop Corn!!  My plan was to already have the bags filled and sitting on the table but the bags were huge and I didn’t have enough popcorn to fill them or enough space to set them out on the table.  So in the bucket it went!!  Help yourself!!

Ryder’s name on the back!  Thank goodness he’s too young to notice his name wasn’t showing while the cake was displayed on the table!

After everyone arrived we started playing some games.  The one above, the kids were in 2 teams and raced down to the bats and had to put their forehead on it and go around in a circle 5 times and then run back…it was too cute!!

Sister Sister!!!  Love her so!!

It was a super fun party and I absolutely can not believe that my boys are 3 and 5!!!  I have to say every stage just keeps getting funner but I sure do miss lots of things about them being younger.  God knew what he was doing when he created the stages of growth….better yet the stages of life!!  I  just want to soak up all I can!!  Loving and Living Life in the Moment!!  Happy Birthday my sweet boys!! I love you to the moon and back!!!
