Here is Ali with a few friends celebrating her 5th birthday Dispicable Me style.
Ali and Shayne so excited to help hang the streamers. They taped little pieces to the wall while I did the nice long streamers around the room. Lyssa and Jace helped draw minion faces on large yellow balloons with a sharpie. So cute!
There's the Birthday girl
Pin the eyes on the minion...
Here's our minion fans, all set in yellow and blue duds. All 3 of the younger kids are missing several teeth each. I wish you could see it.
Check out the "banana" flavored minion cupcakes.
All the kids dressed the part in yellow and blue. Two kids even did suspenders or overalls. Two had knit minion hats.
Our bananas had eyes, as well as the big yellow balloons. I guess I didn't get any pictures of those=(
The refreshments were simple and fun. Lemonade, bananas, minion cupcakes and a scoop of rainbow sherbet per Ali's request.

Jace at Trailblazers Cub Sout Camp
Group of Pack 419 boys. Jace is a Webelos 1 this year. This was all day. Tons of fun and lots of walking. BB guns, archery, sling shots, campfire making, hot cocoa, sack lunch, bouncy castle, boat ride across Lake Coeur d Alene to Camp Easton. Just me and him. I love scouting!
Cookie's best photo
This is the most photogenic pic I took of Cookie this year. Generally my photos are not so great. This one generated a lot of interest when I put her up for sale.
Halloween 2013
This year the kids all wanted to dress up as different things. I think Lyssa was the most imaginative with her Southern Belle, Jace so "boy" in his ninja, and Kiara absolutely cute in her pikachu costume, Ali chose an angel which she wore around the house and to the trunk-or-treat party, but she tired of the wings, and the white dress was too long so she didn't love her costume this year. I won 3rd place in the chili cook off. OOOH ME! I'm so stinkin proud of that especially since I'm not exactly known for being a fabulous cook. I do make a good taco chili. mmm mmm good.
