My little man turned 5. I'm not sure how that happened. One minute he's a baby. The next he's 5. Well buddy..... you sure keep us on our toes around here. We never know what's next. Thanks for being your sweet, loving, high spirited self. Our family would never be the same without you! We love you and all your craziness that comes with you. Here's how we celebrated the all important 5th birthday in true Dylan style.
First we woke up and dug into the presents. We've never been a patient bunch around here so of course we would open presents as soon as possible. Dylan was VERY specific in birthday wishes this year. It was not easy to find the exact Lego castle he was desperately wanting (since the whole world seemed to be sold out... of course!) we finally managed to find one and have it shipped. It got here hours before the big day. (Whew!) It was all worth it. To see his little face when he opened it made me forget the hassle.
It took the 4 of us the next two hours (Avery was kind of working against us) to get it put together. He loved it and has been playing with it every minute since.
We had this whole Jedi training themed party planned and all he wanted to do was play with his castle and other birthday presents. Finally we coaxed him out and he had a blast. First we dressed all the kids in some Jedi robes. They looked so CUTE! We trained like true Jedi's. With blow up light sabers.
We saved princess Leia from the "bad guys" by popping all the balloons until we found her picture that has been "locked" in prison (the balloon).
Then they had an obstacle course they had to complete.
Now they were ready for the HUGE light saber fight to prove what they learned. FUN!!! FUN!!! They all had blow up light sabers and passed the training course. Somehow it ended up being all the kids against me. Don't worry I can take em' .....Good times .
Then there was cake, ice cream and presents. What more could you ask for?
Once the cake and presents were done, and the kids were sent home we cleaned up and got ready for the next party. As many of you know the big game was on. We had a little get together to watch and cheer on BYU. Unfortunately all our our cheering didn't help! Oh well. We had a fun day anyway. On to the next party. Let's see we have Thanksgiving (at my house this year!), Haley's birthday, and Christmas. At least I won't be bored right?

Happy Birthday Dylan!!!
Way to go, on getting the castle on time :) Isn't it funny what we do to get our kids the things they want (to a point anyway) That party looks like a 5 year old boys dream!
What a fun day! You are mom of the year! Not only did you kill yourself for the perfect present-had a party, made the cake and played all along!! You were barely taller than the kids! Ha! Where was your costume?
So-would you give me a call tomorrow-or as soon as you read this. I know that you have thanksgiving at your house this year-how fun-so you are pretty crazy right now.
I wanted to ask you for 3 of your crayon caddies-for the girlies for chirstmas-only all different. Plus-I was hoping that you could help me without something else. So-if you could give me a call-I would be thrilled! 737-4554
Sorry we missed the party. I was in California this weekend and was a total loser Mom and forgot to get Tucker to the party. I'm sad. Wish Dylan a Happy Belated B-Day from us.
I love the pictures of the party it makes me feel like we were there. I'm sorry I missed your phone call Dylan I would have loves hearing from you. Hope to see all of you soon. Love The Broadheads
What a FUN birthday party! Those Jedi vests are perfect. And that castle is to die for, so cool.
Happy Birthday Dylan!
