Cohen's Captain America party.

When my son, Cohen, was turning 6, he had to have a Captain America birthday party. It was really fun to plan it and see it come to fruition. My sister, Jaime, took this photo below and turned it into the awesome birthday invitation.

We played a lot of games outside and had different stations the kids rotated to also.

Pass the Kryptonite, like Hot Potato:

Spider Web game -- this one was a tad tricky to get everyone undone afterwards.

One of the stations was "mighty minds" where the kids had to guess how many gumballs were in the jar. At the end of the party, we told the kids how many were in it and the kid with the closest guess got to take them all home.

Vanquish the Villain -- the kids shot pictures of villains with silly string.

I made capes for all the kids.

Pinata time.

The food table. I love the Captain America photos on the table. I bought the star straws off etsy online.

My kid loves sugar cookies. I had to serve those.

I made jello jigglers and cut them out with a star cookie cutter. Being that it was December, it was easy to find star shaped cookie cutters.

All the food labels and the Eat.Avenge.Repeat. sign were made by my sweet sister, Jaime. She adds all the special details to my parties.

The favors were 1 inch gumballs I bought online in plastic tubes. And the thank you tags were designed by my sis, too! Love them!

Happy birthday, Cohen! We love you!

Kid's bedroom series: Cohen's Captain America themed wall gallery.

Cohen's gallery wall is up! It's taken me a while to gather everything and get it up the way I envisioned. I love these photos from Cohen's baptism day so much; I had to include them. And here's his brother print my sis designed. Love it so much. The Captain America piggy bank is from the same American Nostalgia store I mentioned in my previous post. That store was so fun! I had a hard time limiting my purchases when I was there. The photo here of the boys at Mission Beach looking for sand crabs is one of my all time favorites of them. This geometric canvas I found just recently at Target. I also bought a green version for Ren's room, of course. I will post more pics of Cohen's rooms soon. It is almost complete! Wahoo!

Friendship themed Relief Society Dinner.

I spent a lot of time planning for our big Relief Society dinner/Visiting Teaching Conference. After tossing around a lot of ideas, I finally settled on the theme of friendship. I saw this Mary Engelbreit illustration and quote that I loved, and it became the basis for the whole night. I had so much help from Jaime, my sis. She designed these awesome invitations and helped me so much as I planned the décor . Another sweet friend, Katie, helped me with the food.. we decided to have it catered by Kneaders. We had to go eat there to really look at everything and decide.. ;) We even tried some desserts just to be sure.. it was fun, fun!! I bought this adorable polka dot teapot there that I just knew I wanted to use. Another dear friend, Sarah, who is crazy talented by the way, went with me to Hobby Lobby and The Dollar Store with me for frames, vases, and other décor.. we found these adorable artificial fruits that ended up being perfect for the theme. I'd printed out ...

Recipe Share: Egg and Veggie Scramble with Toast

This is one of my favorite breakfasts. It's easy, healthy, and delicious. It is also very satisfying to know that you're eating veggies in your breakfast!! And you'll find that you feel full for quite awhile after eating this! Ingredients : 1/3 - 1/2 C. Chopped veggies (any kind you like - I used mushrooms, red, yellow, and orange peppers, and onions) 2 eggs 2 Tbsp. shredded cheese (any kind you like - I used Monterey Jack) 1 tsp. olive oil fresh flat leaf parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish whole grain bread (I like to use Sara Lee's 45 Calories and Delightful bread) Directions : Heat your oil in your saute pan over medium heat. Saute all your vegetables until tender, 3-4 minutes. Mix your eggs together in a bowl with a fork or whisk. Add in your eggs and cheese to the pan with your veggies. Stir until firm, but not brown. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley or cilantro. Toast your bread, and enjoy together!
