Happy Birthday Sione & Liliana!

Nofo firing up the grill!

The first to arrive were Wes & Kristin, so we let the kids open their gifts since they weren't going to be there the whole afternoon.
John's (sione) toy was awesome, the kids played with it all afternoon!
Look at all that excitement! I'm pretty sure she's thinking "Holy cow, HANNAH MONTANA"
Red light, Green light!

Musical Mats!

Wes was all tired out from playing with the kids.

The Cakes & Presents!
The bbq had a rough start but turned out fantastic
We got to the park around ten in the morning, only to find that there were no tables left! I could've reserved an area but wasn't sure how big it should be, plus I really thought that there would be plenty of tables floating around the park, big mistake :)

We had to send my father in-law to get tables and it took a little while. When our tables got there, we all got to eat and the food was really good, thanks to that good looking chef :)

Close to the end of the party we did the Pinata! Boy oh boy that thing was sturdy. All the kids got their chance at it, most Pinata's bust open after a few kids hit it, not this one, each kid got to take two turns! That was a finely crafted Mexican Pinata that only cost me $18 and we sure got our money's worth just ask all the kids! They all loved it! Little Ashten (Aimee's son) was a little nervous the first time around, I think he was probably wondering why we would give him a stick and tell him to beat something til it burst' open! I tell ya what though, that boy needs to play baseball, he's got a swing on 'em like nobody knows :)

All in all the day was great! The kids got to swim, play and see some friends, I was a little stressed out in the morning but by the end of the day, knowing how happy my kids were made it all worth it! And all though I said I would never do it again, I think I would!
Thank You Everyone!
