Fun at Mac's School

In the Spring Mac's school throws a Spring Social and Auction.  This year we had beautiful Boise spring weather and the kids all had a ball.  I donated one of my "A Day in the Life" books, and it was a HOT TICKET item in the silent auction.  There was almost a fight over it at the final bidding.  Pretty exciting!  I am looking forward to photographing the winning bidder's child and putting their photo book together.  In fact, several other families have hired me to put books together for their children since the auction.  Very exciting.  Combining something I love to do with creating a little side job/business for myself.

Here are a few pics from the fun evening.

These are the pretty cupcakes that I made for the cake walk.  Check out this website if you'd like to know how to make them.

Remember these bouncing balls?  Fun!

Cinco de Maco

When your birthday is on Cinco de Mayo, it is always a party!!!!  Just as we did last year, we had some of our neighbors over for a Mexican fiesta to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and Mac's birthday.  I stayed up late Monday night making YUMMY chicken enchiladas and made sure I had some margarita mix on hand.  Let the party begin!

Of course the party began before breakfast on May 5th when Mac opened his gifts from me and Fred and Gwyneth.  He was so excited that his birthday had finally arrived, and frankly, so was I, as I had been peppered with questions as to when it was going to be here for the last 2 months!

I know this photo came out blurry, but I just LOVE the expression of excitement on his face about his first present.

And the first gift he opened...

...a guitar.  He LOVES this thing!  I think I am going to have to find him some lessons in the fall.  Gwyneth also really loved it!  My mom might have a small guitar for her to have when they come back up in August.  It would be fun if they both took lessons.  Gwyneth has already written a couple of songs.  Hum?   Perhaps we have a future song writer in our midst?

Onto more gifts.

Gwyneth got Mac a T-Rex alarm clock for him to start using when kindergarten starts in the fall.  It roars to wake you up!
Sweet. :-)

More excitement!

The Sketchers that Mac has wanted for months!  I don't think he has worn any other shoes since Tuesday morning!

Now onto the party Tuesday night...

Mac had been eying this Indiana Jones cake for about 6 months in the Albertson's bakery!  He finally got to have it!  He was so excited!

Checking out how the boulder rolls across the cake.

All in all a fun evening with our neighbors!  The enchiladas were great, and the company even better. Here's Mac with all the neighborhood kids.

Happy 5th Birthday Mac!!!

I will post pictures from his pirate party that we had for him this past Saturday soon!

Ladies Man

Looks like it is going to be a long road with the ladies!  Later toady when I went to have lunch with Mac for his birthday he came up to me with the aforementioned "Emma" and asked if they could go on a date to the movies.  Then Emma informed me, as well, that she and Mac were going to get married.  Mac's other girlfriend, KK, piped in that she and Mac were supposed to get married too.  Looks like things could get complicated!!!

Oh boy!
