A Camping Birthday Party

When Owen said he wanted a camping party for his birthday i immediately looked on my go to site PINTEREST to see what we could do. This is my version of the invite he liked the best.
 Jeremy and I took him to Toys R Us and after about  1 1/2 hours there we made it out with with this army guy set.  
We got the backyard all ready for the party which of course included using the four wheeler for a target practice game. I love these boys!! 

 wormy cupcakes


 The table mostly set up. Owen came up with the BEAR BLOOD PUNCH idea.
kinda like tigers blood but more gory somehow...
everybody got a compass and goody bag with treats 
I think everybody had a good time & Owen said it was his favorite birthday ever!

Jeremy's parents and sister Jennilee came over that night for a BBQ and more presents.
As soon as i got all the candles lighted on his cupcake and before we started to sing he blew them all out!
Silly kid!

We are so proud of  our little man and cant believe we really have a 7 year old kid!
