all about the mouth piece...but Brooks is focused
and ready this Season!!

Brody's Baseball Bash

 A Big 5th Birthday Party for Brody
with of course a Baseball Theme none the less!
Brody was just so super excited about this Birthday!
He had been talking about turning 5 since he was 4 1/2 on Brooks' Birthday!!
My Sweet Boy is just full of Life, Joy, and Passion!!
The Grin from Ear to Ear was just Priceless!


My oh so proud 5 Year Old!!


The Baseball Bash was a Good Old Fashion
Backyard Kids Birthday Party that was such a home run with all the Kids!!! 
The Bash was full of Baseball Stadium Treats!!
Cotton Candy, Peanuts, Twizzlers, Baby Ruth's, and Cracker Jack's!!
And let me tell you.....Kids...are all about the Treats!!!
I have learned that from all the Parties!!


I made these adorable little Oreo Baseball Cookies...
Certainly not perfect...but they were all gone after the party!
Seriously...who doesn't like and Chocolate Dipped Oreo!!


Get your Fresh Popped Popcorn!!
I think I have had Popcorn at a lot of
the Boys Parties....it's one of their favorites!


We served Grilled Hot Dogs and Grilled Chicken
with some Nice Fresh Salads! It was a great Afternoon 
with Baseball Game Staples as well as some good food off the grill!!


Old Fashion Crate filled with more treats ...Cotton Candy was a Big Hit!
Kids were running around eating it like they were at a Carnival!
The Cracker Jacks....not so much!!
All good with our Baseball Bash Theme!!!


Good Old Fashion Party for all the Kids....
Home Run! It shows you that Simplicity
can be a Winner!! This Party was in the hands of
my 5 year old Brody!! Back Yard Games..."Batter Up"
throwing the Ball in for a Home Run!!
We set up a Baseball Field for the Kids to run the Bases
and hit their very own Home Runs!! Super Fun!!

Every party needs a Photo Booth!!

a Piñata could be among all these kids!

B Monogram

 I made this adorable (I must say!)
B Monogram for Brooks and Brody's
very cool all Boy's Room!!
Even better I had most of the Supplies already
and recycled a few items from their nursery.
Check it out!

It was so simple to make. I just recycled 
the Light Blue Frame and took out the picture
and recovered the backing with Burlap. 
Just love Burlap!!! Where else can I put it!!
Then simply outlined the frame with Navy/Red 
Ribbon and Hot Glued the Wooden Letter B in the Center.
I am really pleased and looks great!!


It really added a nice personalized touch
to their room! Most importantly the boys love it!!

Happy Crafting!!
