a dragons love tacos party!

for heath's birthday we had a dragons love tacos themed party. i feel like every party heath ever has will have to have at least a little bit of a mexican theme stuck in there somewhere because he was born on cinco de mayo. pinatas forever! ridiculous, i know. anyways, the book is very adorable... check it out here...

dragons love tacos

we served tacos from our favorite taco truck with no spicy salsa! that is a lie. the salsa that comes with the tacos is SO spicy. what in the heck? we also had lots of other mexican foods like rice and beans and chips. also, dragon spike cupcakes for dessert. 

we had a bounce house outside! luckily, it was like 80 degrees out... almost too hot! i can NOT handle heath's face in the picture of his grandpa holding him. it was taken while all the big kids were bouncing. i feel like heath was like, "excuse me? who's party is this again?" ha! 

singing happy birthday to our sweet ONE YEAR OLD! ahhhhh! and some family pictures. except no beckett... he almost immediately took his cupcake and peaced out. plus he was suffering from heat stroke because he was such an intense bounce house jumper. 

pinata time! it was a dragon of course. our neighbor, christian, who is 7 eventually got it open. i made the silly choice to put ring pops in the pinata. a fun candy in theory, but here's a piece of wisdom for you... ring pops break into a thousand pieces when beat with a stick. the starbursts and mambas held up much better. 

here is a sad, sad story. i made a crepe paper photo wall. and bought and made photo wall props. then i got overwhelmed during the party and totally forgot about it! and took ZERO pictures at the photo wall! NOOOOOO!!! what?! why?! i'm still so sad about it. after all our friends had left and heath was napping, i made saige and marcello take pictures with me at the photo wall. small children would have been cuter, probs. maybe not. i also had john print a giant heath picture to play pin the sombrero on heath, and i forgot about that too. geez. like two days after the party beckett asked, "hey! when is it time to put the tiny hats on the heath picture?" ack! never. it's never time. party fail. beckett wasn't too sad since now he has all the prizes. 

a little present opening. heath got a lot of fun new stuff. he's a lucky guy with a lot of people who just love him a ton. he is pretty lovable. phew! what a party! thanks to everybody who came to celebrate heath and us for keeping another human alive for his first year! yes!

happy birthday HEATH!
