Ian's 9th Birthday


Ian played another season with Upward. This year his friend Boston joined him, they had a blast together!





Ian wanted to have a Star Wars birthday party this year. He has never had a friend birthday party before but he has some pretty awesome friends that he wanted to have fun with. We made baby Yoda cupcakes


We had Pizza, Padawan popcorn, DeathStar Doughnuts, Han Rolos (rollo chocolates), Light sabers (twizzlers), mini Ewoks (Teddy Graham crackers)

                                         

Ian invited 3 friends, here was our party agenda:

*Boys enter and receive their cloaks that I made and inflatable light sabers and sit on couch until all arrive.

*Jedi Master Rylan teaches them fighting stance, and a fight sequence. They take turns fighting each other,

*In walks Darth Vader (Madelyn dressed up with a mask) to the “Empire March” He fights all the Jedis in training one at a time, then escapes.

* Piñata- we used the force to find the Death Star piñata and destroyed it. 

*Blaster training-I got a plastic table cloth and cut out holes and taped wooden embroidery hoops around the holes to make sturdy targets, and labeled the holes based on their size, 100, 50, & 25. They each got a mini blaster nerf gun and they took turns shooting at the target

* We made Star Wars characters out of paper ( I found a website with some printable characters that you cut and fold and tape)

*Opened presents

*Guess Who- I had some masks of Star Wars characters and one person closed their eyes while I put a mask on them and the others had to give him hints to make him guess his character 

* Duel scene training video- I had Rylan search up a YouTube video with all the Star Wars light saber duels.

*Pizza & cupcakes, and sing happy birthday

*DONE! 

I was exhausted! But the boys had so much fun!

Dare Essay winner

Image
 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...

Rylan and the Beginning of Mission Prep

(Early Spring 2022) Rylan was able to have one last percussion season. He got to play the timpani, which he LOVED!  They got first place many times in their competitions!                                                                                         Rylan asked Kyann to prom with a little help from his mom and her Cricut!                                                                           She said yes! Scott asked the priests in our ward especially those who had achieved an Eagle rank in scouts to teach first aid to the activity day boys. Each boy was assigned a to...
