power ranger party--joe 7th b-day (september 2017)

I really don't remember which happened first, this or the start of school, so we're going with this;)

At the very end of the summer of 2017, Joseph turned 7!!!

He celebrated with his fave food ... mac n' cheese ...

A family party with family gifts and prizes ... 


(James even carved him a sword)


And THEN he celebrated with his first ever FRIEND PARTY!!! 

He's awfully lucky to have this amazing sister ... she definitely made his Power Rangers party pretty fantastic:)

We had Ranger Chews (fruit snacks), Super Charge Snacks (crackers/pretzels), Nylok Spit (koolaid), Morph Cubes (cheddar cheese), Mega Force Slices (apples), and Mighty Morphin Sticks (carrots).

Funny how such simple things can be so exciting to a  group of 7-year-olds!!

Mae made this super cool Power Rangers cake!!

Pretty nice having a sister who can bake (especially when your momma can't;)

This is an awfully cute group of Power Rangers:)
When they arrived, they each got a Morpher Wristband and a Ranger Belt!! The wristbands were made out of duct tape and gold award stickers, and the belts were duct tape and spray painted Pringles caps. 

Then Kevin had them each perform the Ranger Laws ... 

All before participating in the Ranger training course ...


It's hard to see in the picture, but for this training exercise the boys had to come in the front gate and make it through the laser beams (rope) back to the backyard.

They each got a Ranger sword, but in Joseph's words didn't know the darkness that awaited them;).

Porter was a very good big brother and willingly played "The Dark Lord" so that they could each battle him one by one. 

After a while they decided to gang up on him all together. 

And then finally, they got to make Ranger masks and eat mac n' cheese & hotdogs.

Oh, and of course cake and ice cream!!


And finally ... it was time for presents!

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010
