.: Our Jordan is a HAND FULL !!!

Yep, that's right my baby boy is now a HAND FULL, a FIVE year old!

We had an amazing Star Wars Birthday Party, complete with a Jedi Training Camp. Jordan picked the theme and I had so much fun planning it. Ryan and I did a pretty good job on the Death Star Pinata and the C-3PO Oil cans. We made 3 Specialized Lightsavers and got the remaining 18 ready for the big day. For refreshments we had 5 Lightsavers made out of mini cupcakes and Yoda Soda of course.

Finally the big day arrived, and we had 21 young Jedi's participate in the Training Camp.

As the boys arrived we made individualized lightsavers (as each Jedi must allow the force to guide him to his lightsaver). Of course many practice battles started so we moved on quickly from there :) We then had some training on the Jedi travels and the Galaxy. We then made our own "Galaxy Play dough", they were all so proud of their own blob of the galaxy.

We then had our outdoor obstacle course (because of the CRAZY wind that day we had to move most of the party into the garage...it actually worked really well!) They Jedi's used the force to swing,climb,slide and balance. As they all passed the first test they moved on to Lightsaver Training with Jedi Master Ryan. This was SO cute to watch! They were all trying so hard. We then had the second obstacle course in the garage where they crawled through caves, shot Storm Troopers and "crushed" the Evil Force (popped balloons with all the enemies of the Rebel Forces) For the Young Jedi's final test they each had an one-on-one lightsaver battle with DARTH VADAR ! (thanks again Ryan...what a Daddy!) Now our little Rebel Squad was ready for battle and they over came and defeated the Death Star and enjoyed the spoils (candy for all) We then had refreshments and opened presents!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDAN!!!

The next day was Jordan's real birthday and we had a little surprise for Jordan when he got home from school. A Brand New...Straight From The Store...Never Been Ridden By Parker...Spiderman Bike) He was so excited he jumped on it in the living room, rode it out the door and hasn't gotten off of it since :) We love this little guy and all the love and joy he brings our family! He is still Mommy's best snuggle bug, Daddy's little shadow,Parker's best most loyal friend and Taleah's best advocate. Jordan has such a tender heart and can melt your heart with those amazing eyes! I am so blessed to be his Mommy and have him in my life. I love you little guy!
