Our SUPER Aydan is 5 years old!

Holy BATMAN!

Our Aydan-Bug is 5!

We had such a fun birthday weekend with our BIG BOY!

I asked Aydan back in  December what he wanted his birthday to be and he said Superman. Well, Superman is not popular anymore and I had a hard time finding any decorations for a Superman party, so I went with Superhero's instead!

This worked out great because it turned Aydan into SUPER-AYDAN instead of pretending to be Superman!

He was so excited for his birthday, but even more excited that he would be 5! That meant he would be a whole "hand" old! Ha! Ha! He's such a funny kid!

I had a blast planning Aydan's party! The problem I have with this kind of stuff is once my creative juices get a flowin' the more ideas come in, and that means I have to make decisions. At one point Justin had to give me "the talk". He explained that you can only do so much in 2 hours! So I cut down....a little! You know, I didn't really know how I would feel about "boy stuff" once we had 2 boys, but I FREAKING LOVE IT! Come on....we were Superhero's all afternoon for goodness sake!

Anyway, I made Aydan's invitations on Photoshop. I really wanted them to look like a comic book page! I think they turned out great! I'm SUPER proud of them!

Friday, before Aydan's birthday I went to his school and brought CUPCAKES to celebrate with his class! AYDAN LOVED IT! He did the thing where he really wants to smile, but tries to hide it! Oh...he's the best! In my book of rules: GOOD KIDS SHOULD BE SPOILED! Aydan is an awesome kiddo, and completely got spoiled to death!

I decided to have Aydan's Superhero party on Saturday the 14th, ( a day before Aydan's actual birthday) so some friends from school could come! Sunday birthday's are hard to have around here!

Saturday came, and IT WAS AWESOME! It was a beautiful sunny day, and everyone who said they were coming came! That meant our house was FULL, and about to POP! I LOVED IT!

I made all of Aydan's Superhero decorations (cake toppers, food labels, cupcake toppers, drink labels, ect...) on Photoshop! So fun! Everything matched and was personalized for Aydan!

I think these were my favorite thing at the party!

SUCKERHERO'S!

I saw these on Pinterest, stole the image, messed with it in Photoshop, changed the colors, and AREN'T THEY ADORABLE!?

Little kids get hungry fast! I suppose it's all the energy they have/use! So I knew having a snack would be handy! So I made POPCORN FUNNELS out of comic book pages!

Ummm....snacks, and the endless amount of energy also make little people very thirsty! All those Superhero's needed some POWER (aid)!

Party favors!

Aydan's CAKE!

I made it. It is my 5th fondant cake. I really like how it turned out! I enjoy making them! This one is my 2nd favorite (I still can't get over how cute the zebra and lime green cake was) cake. I LOVE the cape!

So, at the party I wanted all the kids to be able to be their own Superhero! That meant they had to have their own get-ups! Capes, cuffs, and masks for everyone! Even the girls that came got dressed up (of course I made theirs pink and purple!)

The table cloth was SUPER AWESOME! It was like a comic book, and had games like tic tac toe on it that you could play and color on!

Once the guests arrived they got right to work on their costumes! It was so fun!

Aydan was so excited, and couldn't focus for pictures! I made his shirt, it says "five" in a comic blast!

Isn't our SUPER-AYDAN  the most!?

SUPER-TOMMIE! What a cute girl Superhero!

Popcorn snack time!

All the tiny humans at A's party! They all look so SUPER! Aydan had 5 friends from school come, Asher, Max, Lilly, Isabell, and Skylar, 6 cousins, Cru, Tommie, Dillon, Braxton, Kylar, and Collin, and 2 family friends, Korbyn, and Haydn, and of course his little bro! Aydan LOVED having everyone there to play and celebrate!

I told all the kids to jump! It was funny!

This was one of my many creative juice ideas. PIN THE MASK ON SUPER-AYDAN! Posters at Staples are only $8! Oh...I made the comic book banner above the poster also!

Another game we played was a Kryptonite Race! Kryptonite can hurt Superhero's if you touch it so we pretended that the green balls of paper were the poison! We split the kids up, and had a race to see which team could get the most Kryptonite in the baskets without touching them! 

The next game we played was X-RAY VISION! Superhero's have this power you know...

I put several different things in the box for the kids to feel, and then guess what it was. SO MUCH FUN!

The last game we played was the VILLAIN BEAN BAG TOSS! I taped pictures of evil villain's on some cans, and had the kids have at it!

Present time was AWESOME! Aydan got so spoiled it's not even funny! He is such a blessed little boy to have so many friends and family that care about him!

Aunt Jessica and Traceon! To be honest, I think Aydan (and my) favorite part of the whole weekend was to have Uncle Derrick, Aunt Jess, Dillon, and Braxton stay with us! Jess is one of my best friends and she helped me a lot with Aydan's party!

Aydan has wanted the "Bat belt" for weeks! It's now any every day wardworb choice.

Happy Birthday bud!

Cake time!

Oh Aydan! We love ya so much!

While everyone was eating some cake, Daddy had one more surprise for Aydan!

A new BIKE!

Aydan turned, and said, "What?" "Is that for me?"

You betcha little boy!

He loved getting a new bike, but the green one was a little TOO big, so he got to pick out another bike. It's orange and red, and it's AWESOME! Aydan grew out of his first bike so fast, learning how to ride without training wheels and all! We knew that this Summer he would have to have a bigger bike to ride!

It was a great party for a wonderful little boy! We love him so much!

Aydan with all of his gifts!

Our SUPER family!

Now that Aydan's 5 years old I feel so seasoned! Like I've had enough experience as a mom to be taken seriously! Ha! Ha! I'm so glad we had our little A-bug! I knew the moment I was pregnant, that I loved him, and that he would forever change my life. He not only made me a mom, but has taught me so much. He has greatly exceeded my expectations as a parent, and continues to every day! He makes me proud, and I have loved every moment of being his mom.

*********************************************************

So the birthday weekend continued...

We got lots of good Polson Family time in!

The boys played with some of Aydan's new games that he got for his birthday, and the adults played, "The Game of Things", which was really fun, and we all got some good laughs in!

On Aydan's birthday morning I made pancakes, and sausage! I drew the boys' names out in pancake batter....yeah...they loved that and thought it was pretty cool!

So we wanted to treat Aydan to a birthday dinner of his choice. He chose Leo's Place (of course) and he also requested that everyone came too!

 Birthday dinner PIZZA!

 Playing in the jungle gym and in the arcade!

 Aydan got these teeth with his tickets!

 Tra and Kylar! This pic...makes me giggle. Silly boys!

 Mommy and Daddy!

 We're weird...I know.

 Birthday cupcake/song/candle time!

 My 5 year old and I, about to dig into a cupcake!

 Aydan got countless Superhero toys/gadgets for his birthday. And I think this one won the "favorite toy". It's Wolverine's Claw (I think...again with the boy stuff. I try my best to keep up!).

It makes slashing noises and everything!

 After Leo's Place we came home and played a game together!

 Aydan and Dillon get along so well! They're like best friends! They loved spending the whole weekend together, and used their great imaginations! They played at this table for hours with puzzles, games, and Transformers!

 I thought this pic was cute....they're looking at one of the comic books Aydan got for his birthday! They look so old!

 These 2 are so cute! The older they get, the more they like to play with each other!

 Monday night we went to Leo's Place again!

 Aydan was so excited to win 100 tickets at this game!

We had such a fantastic weekend! I loved every minute of having our house full of people, especially the little kids!

Thank you so much for celebrating our Aydan!
