Extreme Birthday Party

Today we had Sawyer's 3rd birthday party at Extreme Gymnastics in Loomis. You might rememer that we went to his friend, Ty's, party there back in November and had such a good time that we had to be copycats and have our party there too - complete with some of the same friends. Luckily, the kids didn't seem to mind a bit :) We had 14 kids (if you count babies Stella and Sophia) and a whole bunch of adults, and each and every one of us had a blast playing on all the gym equipment - balance beams, bounce house, zip cord, rings, trampolines, parallel bars, the foam pit and all the other great things they have there . I think the photos can speak for themselves, because frankly, I'm exhausted after such a long day! Thanks to everyone for coming out and spending the afternoon with us. We love you all!



Photos of the gym from their website - it was kind of hard to get good pics of my own because it was pretty dark inside since it was so rainy outside



This was pretty much how it was set up for the party today

Cake time!

It was almost physically painful to do this!

Taking a break in the foam training pit

Sutton LOVED the foam too

Sawyer wants in on the action too!

We didn't open presents at the gym since we had a limited time, so after the boys came home and napped, it was present time - he could hardly wait! Sawyer got some totally awesome gifts - thank you, everyone! We're going to be working on making and sending thank you notes tomorrow, but I just wanted to say thank you right away to everyone for their generosity. He loved everything, and we really appreciate it!

Aunt Judi got him a weapon pirate sword, a pirate shirt and a cute Calvin Klein jacket

Aunt Debby got him SOOOO much fun craft stuff that he couldn't wait to take it out and play with it. He even stopped opening other presents for awhile so that he could paint for a bit!

One of his favorite presents - a fire station from Gigi and Granddad

The fire station pretty much took a starring role in the rest of the evening - he kept pretending to rescue people and kitties stuck in a tree. Super cute!

Playing fire station (aka "fire chief") with Grandpa

His magnetic dress up boy from Hattie (she also got him some cute clothes and a watch that he's totally diggin'!). He's in the middle of saying "Cooool" here lol.

Two new monster trucks from Nathan and Mason - he also got walkie talkies from Mason, which are super cool, but he doesn't quite grasp the button pushing concept yet (Mommy and Daddy have been having fun with them though!).

Ava got him a super deluxe 8,000,000 piece Play Doh set...okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration...but it is huge and totally awesome!

This is one happy birthday boy! :)
