Jaxen’s 7th Birthday Party!

When we started talking about Jaxen's birthday, 

he said he wanted friends to come over and play frisbees outside...so that is what we did!

Jaxen had 5 friends over on Saturday to play in our backyard. 

We setup Ladder Ball, Can Jam, Frisbee Golf and Frisbee Tic-Tac-Toe.

He requested pizza and Gatorade for dinner; an Oreo cake; and a campfire with marshmellows.

Easy-peasy :)

I baked a cake, mowed the lawn, set up balloons and called it good!

It was hot that day. 

I think it was the highest temps we have seen yet (89 - don't laugh at me!) / 

but we had great shade in our backyard and it was a beautiful evening!

I took pictures of the cake process, the setup before his friends arrived, and blowing out candles. That was it. I was too busy playing games myself and keeping up with these kiddos!

I made the Oreo cake using a regular chocolate cake mix and added crushed Oreo's.

Then, I placed whole Oreo's in the bottom of the pan; poured the cake mix on top; and baked!

The icing was made as normal, with chopped Oreo's.

I layered the two cakes with icing in between and covered the top and sides with icing!

Don't mind our patchy-grass - but here is the backyard setup….

I decorated with balloons as much as could with the wind/sun popping some of them.

It’s hard to see, but there is also a spray-painted Tic-Tac-Toe board in the grass. 

Oh, and Jaxen waiting out front for his friends to arrive :)

My first born celebrating his 7th birthday!!!! 

P.S. Zane only came outside naked once. Winning! 

(Zane does not like to put his undies and pants back on after going potty).

Haha!
