Tyler was most appropriately born on April Fools Day as he is the comic relief in our family! He adds so many smiles and so much laughter to my life - I am truly blessed to be called his mom!
This year, Tyler decided to have a dino themed party. Not a surprise to many as he is rather obsessed with dinosaurs (just like Kayden was when he was little). So, having had a previous child who loved dinos for many years, I felt like I had exhausted all the dino shape cakes that I had come across. Then, I came across this one in my Family Fun magazine. I absolutely LOVE Family Fun (if you have never been to their website, check it out at http://familyfun.go.com). It was so easy to make a big hit with the kids!
Tasty cake and ice cream! 
The whole gang!
OOPS! I almost forgot to say what we did for the party! When the kids arrived I had a bin full of dino stuff for them to play with (not hard to come up with at our house). Then, we came to the table for a craft - craft foam dino masks. I had all the pieces pre-cut and they just had to glue stuff on and put on a string and voila! Next, it was outside for a dino dig! By far, the HIT of the party! I had Jaren help me bury dino bones (wooden ones that I bought at Michaels) and some mini dinos that I bought at the $ store. Each child had their own shovel and paint brush to clean off the things that they found. They also had a good sized plastic egg to put their "treasures" in. After cleaning up from that, we had our cake and presents and then finished the party off by having a dino egg pinata! Instead of hitting it, we kicked it around like a soccer ball! It was a lot of fun and a lot less scary (I am always afraid someone is going to get hit with the broom handle when we do it the traditional way). All, in all it was a great party! In fact, Carter said it was the best party he has ever been too! Hooray for MOM!
