Avenger party!

My not-so-little Tyler just turned 9 years old on September 25th! We celebrated the Saturday before with a swim party with his friends. Luckily we are having an Indian summer so it was still beastly HOT and the water was great. 

Gotta have a pinata! 

CANDY! 

Present time 

Kids love water balloons! 

The Avenger cake! 

 Full of hot air 

Although I expect perfection when I make a cake, I rarely ever get it. I am however proud of this one, flaws  in all. I'm sure its obvious but the first layer is Captain America, the second layer is The Hulk, and the hammer is for Thor. I know I'm missing Iron Man but I really didn't care to tackle that much red fondant. 

My husband made the Thor hammer with rice crispy treats and modeling chocolate. I think he did a great job! 

I wish I had pictures of the fun games and kids swimming but my camera broke at the party. (I seriously have horrible luck with cameras) 

The Color Run

As I said previously, I am way behind in my posts. We did the Color Run back in August and I wanted to make sure to post it since I post all our runs on here. 

 Our team name was "Au-gust of Color"... get it? lol 

We didn't feel dirty enough at the first color spot so we made chalk angels. 

By the end we all looked like green goblins! 

We always have a victory kiss ♥

This stuff took days to get off. I think I was picking it out of my scalp for at least a week! 

Pinewood Derby Cake

I haven't posted in a looooong time. Like a real long time. First I had trouble getting logged into my blogger account, then I wasn't able to upload pictures. Well, I'm back and ready to catch up! Last month we had the pinewood derby and I volunteered to make the cake. My hubby wanted to make little cars modeled out of chocolate but um these are kids we are talking about SO I made the cars out of Twinkies and Oreo's. It was well received :) 

Pack 459!

Here is the one and only picture I got at the event due to a dead battery (that seriously always happens to me). Tyler's car is number 7 - the bat mobile!
