3rd Annual Fitzgerald Family Trip ( Part 1)

We recently returned from our 3rd annual family trip to Eastern Oregon!  This year we changed it up a bit and went to Black Butte.  The entire family was able to make it for the first time and we had a BLAST!  Golfing, tennis, walking, swimming, horseback riding, biking, exploring and so much more.  

Because we were in Black Butte this year, we were able to meet up with the entire Concannon family.  We didn't get everyone on one day, but we were able to see everyone at some point in time during our weeks stay.  Part 2 post will contain photos of the Concannon's. 

A HUGE thank you goes out to my wonderful parents for the fantastic vacation.  Getting away for some sun, exercise and fun was something each of us needed!!!!  LOVE YOU! 

Grandpa and The Claw!!!

4th Birthday Celebration

A very delayed birthday post! Kaiden's birthday celebration was so much fun. We had everything, friends, family, water games, face painting, hot dog bar and a pinata! It was great seeing Kaiden play with his friends and enjoy celebrating his big day.

As requested by the birthday boy, we went with a Spiderman themed party and labeled our house as Superhero Headquarters. Below is the posters i created and hung on our front door.

I used my Cricut and created the sign below! If anyone needs a Spidey like birthday sign let me know. I'm saving it for future use :)
Ari started in first on the face painting!

Water sponge toss...success!!!!

Got the kids warmed up to one another and prepared them for more water game fun.

Uncle Jake pulled out the Captain America costume! The kids thought it was soooo cool that one of Spidey's friends showed up to say HI. Uncle Jake...you are awesome for playing along and getting in that costume on such a hot day! THANK YOU!!!

Kaiden, Conley and Lilly Lansing started to have a little fun and attacked Grandpa Fitz.

It was awesome...the kids got him good!!

Can you tell Kaiden was having a good time?

Kaiden went super shy when everyone started singing Happy Birthday to him. Normally shy Kaiden puts his fingers in his mouth...I think i like him covering his ears better...HA

Kaiden and Lilly got a little crazy and after their water fit with Matt (cousins new hubby) they decided to do some face painting on Matt. Matt was a great support!!

Happy Birthday Kaiden Matthew

Kaiden turned 4 this last Sunday. We held a small get together with family and a couple of Kaiden's close friends. The party was lots of fun and there are many photos to come!

Below is a photo of the birthday boy in his new Woody outfit and matching outfit for his Build-a-Bear monkey.

New Deck on the Family Beach House

Busy busy weekend! Matt and his brothers helped move Papa Smitty to his new house in Bend. While Matt and the boys travelled to Bend, Kaiden, Conley and I spent some time at the beach with my parents and extended family. Matt was able to meet up with us the evening of the 4th to enjoy some fireworks, smores and fun. More photos to come, but I wanted to show off the new deck my dad rebuilt this weekend on my grandparents beach house. Thanks dad...it looks fantastic! I'm sorry the first bit of damage to the newly finished deck was by your grandson and his hammer...but he it was in love since he was trying to be like you :) LOVE YOU!

More photos of the weekend soon to come.
