After getting a tiny bit settled into our new house, we threw a birthday party for the boys. We wanted to see all our friends that we haven’t gotten to see in a long time. It was so much fun having so many so close again. My boys are adventurous wild men as I call them. Always getting dirty, climbing things, loving nature and being outside. So I wanted a Wild Man theme. I have seen on pinterest Wild One parties for a first birthday and Young, Wild and Three for third birthdays, so I combined the two into one giant Wild Man birthday party. I had two smash cakes made and cupcakes for the rest of the party people. The Flying Cupcake Bakery did the most wonderful job interpreting my theme into the cupcakes and cakes. I found some shops on etsy for the super cute banners and made my own Wild One cake topper for Liam. I just glued, with wood glue, some wooden letters together from a craft store and let them dry. Then painted them with sparkly golden paint. It was super easy. I think I’ll make custom cake toppers for every birthday cake!
For the Wild Men and their friends, we got a bouncy house and it was a TON of fun! Even us moms and dads wore ourselves out in the bouncy house. Our only family picture we got was not in front of the cute decorations that I planned but instead in the bounce house which was much more fitting to remember this day.
We wanted to thank everyone that came out to celebrate with us. We had so much fun! This week we have been busy with tons of Halloween and fall fun. I cannot wait to share all our new Indiana adventures with you all.
Until next week, XOXO.
^One of my bbf’s little girl. She just looked so adorable in her red dress picking apples. Makes me think of Snow White.^
^Jake took his picking job very seriously. 🙂 ^
Then they all discovered the apple eating!
And just alot more fun apple picking pictures because you all know I love pictures.
The boys just love any tractor they see.
^Some super super tired little men at the end of the day.^
^Packing up and moving out^
^Our two moving pods that we ran out of space in and had to get a third!^
^My hubby took this picture on one of his house hunting trips so it wasn’t really from us flying in but isn’t it a cool photo?^
^Our Y on Indy got cut off a bit but you get the idea.^
^Let the unpacking begin.^
^Lunch on a storage tote because we had no table or chairs unpacked yet. So classy!^
Here are a few from our mini Birthday celebration. He was not into the smash cake at all but he was tired from everything going on lately.
Jake did his best to help show Liam how to properly smash and eat the Birthday cake. 
Anndd there goes the hat…
There it goes again…
^Caught him standing by himself!^
Since I have been enjoying photography, I have liked to have little mini holiday photo shoots. I staged this little 4th of July mini shoot with the boys on the front porch. I realized that I didn’t get Jake a patriot t-shirt for the 4th this year when I was changing their clothes right before the pictures. I could have sworn I did too! But I figured what is more American than Cubs baseball anyway. So perfect. I had found some cute little decorations at Target and thought it would be fitting to have the little rocking chair on the front porch. This holiday photo shoot was a bit challenging with wiggly and moving Liam but I think I got some cute pictures.
The Father’s Day pool party I planned got rained out but everything the boys and I made for dad was a big hit.
Delicious mini cuban appetizers. 
^It was starting to storm and Jake has been so scared of thunder lately. This ended up the best daddy and boys picture we could get.^
Recently we’ve been making a few trips to 
We’ve got quite a bit of big things happening in the next couple of weeks and I see alot more mini hiking trips in our future. So make sure you get outside and enjoy the summer!
^All that I got was his little toes! He’s so FAST! So typical!^
^Even tried to let him stand for one and as you can see; It’s blurry.^
