Owen's All Star Football Party

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

My baby boy turned 4

We had a small, family celebration that evening
As I always say...I LOVE that face!

Wonder what he wished for??

To beat his big brother in a game, to win the Heisman Trophy one day, to meet Diego in person, hmmm....

@~*ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?*~@

I love to go with a theme for my kiddo's birthdays...this year, it was a little challenging. There are so many things that Owen loves, and there were several ideas he kept throwing out.

But, after I decided it would be a little tricky to throw a "Motorcycle" b'day, we went with football - one of his other loves. :)

It took about...oh, one milisecond for all the boys to warm out and start in on an intense game of football in our backyard!

The inflatable ball & goal that we bought for his b'day definitely came in handy!

I was so grateful to have an 11 yr old son who got out there and led the little guys...he was so great! And, oh how the boys looked up to him!

The Cheerleaders preferred the swingset & craft route...

One of the cutest parts of the party was how Owen would come running up to the patio, huffing and puffing, to get a big swig of his Gatorade...he'd mumble a few things about the game, and then sprint back to the "field"

Ella Bella...just a swingin'

(after eating about 5 gallons of the "Chicago Mix" popcorn we served)

There one was Dog Pile

after another...

It was such a warm feeling to see all the good ol' fashioned fun going on

And what a GORGEOUS day it was!!

(So thankful to God for that Blessing)

Our adorable nephew, Jaxen, was quite the Running Back!

Ooop!...Ella's back at the popcorn bowl...
