It was a day of ALL sugar. seriously. we had spent 2 hours in the front yard scooping ice cream for the 3 neighbors who showed up for the Ice Cream Block Party I Won (yes really 3 neighbors, but that is another post for another day...yes i am procrastinating). I had the kids all jump in the pool to "rinse off" the stickiness of the melted frozen goodness that was ALL OVER THEM. We cleaned up the front yard and went out back to present the birthday cupcakes. It was the final (and family) birthday celebration for J's 13th-never-ending-birthday-month-extravaganza. It was HOT! I was TIRED! Big Daddy was INJURED! We yelled for the kids to get out of the pool. We lit the candles. We sang Happy Birthday and the kids hoovered some more sugar. I went back inside to change in to my swim suit. As soon as i shut the door i heard, "Hey Auntie, can we have another cup cake?" I kept walking as i shouted, "Knock yourselves out, eat them til they are gone!" They did. I knew i still had a freezer full of ice cream and ice cream bars and the cup cakes didn't look so yum to me (we got them from a Mexican Bakery, they were BRIGHT and obnoxious looking and J prefers cup cakes to cake A-N-Y-D-A-Y).
J making a wish...if you know her you know what the wish was.

mmmmmm
"i think i got more sprinkles than you, let's count!"
Oh Heavenly rays upon the sugary goodness!
Parker, you have something on your nose!
Emma and Jordan BFFs with colored teeth!
"are my lips blue?"
It really was a fun day. We BBQ'd burgers and hot dogs and had yummy watermelon, pasta salad and veggies. The kids swam and laughed and had a great time. They went home on a sugar high. We had close family friends, my folks and Big Daddy's mom here...btw thanks for all your help guys! It was loud, it was crazy, it was HOT but it was mostly FUN...i love days like these.

That's the way I like to celebrate! Drag it out as long as possible!!! I am outraged for you that your stinky neighbors did not show! LOSERS!
You DO need to move here, when we have semi-annual block parties, we have at least 40-50 people show.
Aren't days full of sugar the BEST? :)
Pass me a cupcake! SO FUN.
Three neighbors? Nuh Uhh!
I suffer from major J envy I think. Now I just want to live in your neighborhood. You know, so I can party with you guys. :)
FUN cupcakes!
Fun Party

How fun! I love all the cute pictures with cupcake faces! It sounds like a wonderful time!!
3 neighbors for realz?? I havta know more. I heart cupcakes too.
3 Neighbors!! Really?! Wow. Can't wait to read that post. :) Looks like you guys had fun anyway.
I could eat cupcakes until I passes out from the sugar. Wierd though, I HATE sprinkles. I would have sat there and picked each little one off. I have texture issues. (and yes I know I'm strange)
WHO would not want to come to your party?? Especially with FREE ice cream?? I would've totally been there!
And those cupcakes...they look SO delicious!! Great, now I'm in the mood to bake. And whatever I bake -- I eat!! Thanks a lot!!!!!!!
Days of sugar are days to be treasured. Those cupcakes look delicious!
Those cupcakes look awesome! What a festive idea (but really, you now have me craving bbq'd hotdogs).
Happy 13th!
Those cupcakes look colorful and yummm. And the smiles, they are precious.
Oh, a sugary days. Looks like a blast!
How do I go about getting a birthday month?
And, I totally would have showed up for a free ice cream party. Your neighbors don't know what they missed.
Those cupcakes are so cute! I love all the bright colors and they made for the perfect photo-op.
Thanks for stopping by...great psf!
I so love those cupcake stands! I have to find one some day. Great pictures. Looks like everyone had a grand time and ate LOTS of sugar. :)
Oh the cupcakes look so yummy!
And an ice cream block party too?? I want to be your neighbor! :)
Oh my Gosh, those are the CUTEST cupcakes...and the cupcake holder...I want. :) Super cute!
I forgot to tell you that my aunt won an ice cream block party too! She had so many people show up though, that they had to go buy more ice cream! haha! I'm gonna try to win one next year...sounds like so much fun!
Sorry about big daddy's injury...hope it's nothing that wont heal quickly!
What a fantastic sugar-coated yummy birthday bash. We love our cupcakes around here, but we all compete to get to see who gets to bake them! ; ) I have one on the threshold of 13. Last year we had a CLUE birthday party (I got to be Miss Scarlett). This year she gets a trip to San Diego for her gift. The party will be dinner and cupcakes, I'm sure. Happy Birthday to "J"!!! I loved coming to visit you (we're sorta neighbors in real life). : D
Bright obnoxious mexican cupcakes?! Can't beat that?
I am wondering why only 3 neighbors showed up for your icecream party..If I was nearby I DEFINITELY would have come! ..and those cupcakes are making me HUNGRY!!
Those cupcakes look so fun! I tried to win an ice cream block party but didn't, so congrats!
Ohhh maaannn.... *mouth watering*
I want to eat your pictures!!
