We had so much fun!

After previously being canceled due to 31 inches of snow, we finally were able to have Mason's 6th birthday party celebration. And wouldn't you know it ... it started snowing again shortly before his party was supposed to start.

Snow or no snow ... the party must go on. We rented a limo to take the kids to play laser tag ... to say the kids were excited is a huge understatement.

Prior to playing laser tag, everyone has to watch an instructional video. The kids were so cute ... they all were raising their hands asking questions after the video was over.

After watching the video, we moved into the vesting area. Depending on the number of people playing at one time, you are split up into teams by vest color. We were lucky to all be on the same team each time ... although our opponents were always older kids.

We're ready to go!

We had so much fun! I guess I didn't know what to expect ... but even us adults had a blast.

And the infamous Spongebob cake. Oh, the Spongebob cake. What is it with my kid's Spongebob obsession? I hate Spongebob and for a long time, Mason was not allowed to watch it.

I think I lost that battle.

  5. How cool! We had "outlawed" Sponge Bob for years and I thought we were in the clear and then they stayed with grandparents with cable for a weekend and guess what they watched FOR AN ENTIRE DAY...clue:he lives in a pineapple under the sea. Jack had his 7th birthday party at Ultrazone Lazer Tag and they had a blast. I think it is awesome that Payton got to go too! You guys are awesome parents to rent a limo and how cool they upgrade you to a hummer..the kids look so tiny next to it :).

  6. How fun. I don't care for Spongebob either. What do kids like about it? I don't get it.

  13. That looks like so much fun!! Hunter turns 6 in March. I too HATE SpongeBob and for so long would not let the kids watch it, but then Hunter turned it on one day and Ella listened to the song and started singing along, saying Bob-bob in tune. So, she said it, she got it : )

  17. Hi Bethany! Your web site looks great...I haven't visited in a while. I remember you saying that after you came home with Nika, you had family pictures done for a discounted fee through some adoption group. Can you give me more info on that? I signed up for the same thing through another web site (can't even remember the name)for families that had kids with SN, but haven't heard anything and it's been like a year...ugh! So now that Ryan is home, maybe I'll go the route you took and we're really due for family pics!! Thanks!

    PS We had a canceled birthday party due to the snow too:) But no fancy limos here...looks like fun!

  20. The second pic, the one with kids inside the limo; they are very, very excited just by looking at their smiles. Such adorable kids. I can tell that the laser tag was a monumental blast.
