Blade’s 2nd Birthday Party! {The COOP}

  Our sweet Blade turned TWO on the 25th! We celebrated his big number 2, Elmo style, this past weekend at The COOP in Frisco – SO fun!

If you’re local and have small kids, we highly recommend visiting The COOP. This was our first time to host our party outside our home. I’m typically not a fan of places you rent as they’re impersonal and rushed but this turned out well. Luckily I booked plenty of time in advance and everything was set to go. With Brody’s unexpected shunt complications and surgery, it was nice to have it all planned already.  Our private party included a bounce house, a toddler book area and play area with toys, a dance pad/gaming area, ride on toys and the coolest ball pit and slide area ever! We had a total of about 40 people and everyone had a blast!

These little ride-ons were Blade’s favorite. He and his wee toddler friends rode them the entire time…

Sweet Wesley!

 Miss B!

   Korbin, Brody & Kylee getting down on the dance floor!

   This place was seriously fun for all ages. The big boys started pegging random bystanders with balls. The little boys caught on quickly. Here’s Korbin taking a shot at someone…

 Broman :]

  Corinne wasn’t having a good time…. nope…not at all ;)

 Some of the adults playing a game of dodgeball on the game pad…

Brody having a great time. Nevermind Mason in the background ready to peg some innocent kid in the head with a ball… or Chris manhandling Korbin right next to him!

Bret and Richie. Fun for all ages, I tell ya ;)

My sweet, shy Mason!

  Innocent Bethany, minding her own business, looking after the littles just seconds before she’s hit square in the noggin by a ball thrown by her dear husband…

Zooooooooooooooooooooom! Go Richie Go!

Uncle Darrell & John

 Blakkkeeee, where are you?!?!

Kylee gettin’ tickled by Papa!

Bethany, Anna, Korbin and myself taking cover from the flying balls!

Our youngest party goer, Noah!

“Mama, where are youuu?!”

   Can’t believe it’s been two years since we welcomed this sweet baby! 

  Blade and all his wittle friends :]

While he had the time of his life during the free play, it wasn’t until we sang “Happy Birthday” that Blade realized this whole thing was about HIM! His smile grew as everyone looked at him while singing and then once the song was over he lit up and yelled “Yaaayyyyy!” while clapping his hands. PRICELESS!

 

Happy Birthday to our precious precious, sweet number 5. You’ve brought more joy and spunk to our family than we could have ever imagined. We love you, Baby Blade!

We owe a HUGE Thank You to Amy Horton with Amy Horton Photography for coming to capture these memories on film while Bret and I enjoyed our party. Thank you again Amy, we love the pictures!!!
