Hello, world!: Jase's big party

This past weekend we had family and some friends over to celebrate Jase’s birthday. The weather was beautiful about 60 degrees and sunny! The party was called for 3pm. Some family showed up early and they were a big help with set up and looking after the boys so Greg and I could add some finishing touches to the house and decorations. His party was ‘balloon’ themed…poor Greg had the task of driving 36 balloons home from the party store. He did it all without complaint- what a good sport. Owen and Jase loved the balloons before, during and after the party..as did all the other kids. We used them to decorate the house and each kid (11 total) who came to the party got to take one home with them on their goodie bag. Their goodie bags were filled with their findings from the egg hunt we had during the party. We had snacks, chick fil a nuggets, meatball sandwiches and salads. The party was a hit! We feel so blessed that we got to share Jase’s big day with loving family and friends.

Jase is one!

On the hunt!

Cousin sharing :)

We also used the party as a debut for our new sunroom and a few more updates around the house. The major things we did were to update the sunroom and replace two of our doors. First, we cleaned and bleached and cleaned and bleached the sunroom. We then tore out the yucky carpet and replaced it with laminate faux wood, replaced the blinds and got new furniture! Yay! Next, Greg ripped out the old, rotting garage door and replaced it with a brand new door! He did the same for the front storm door- took down the old and replaced with new. The front door needed some updating but was in good shape so we took it down, painted it black and put on a new knocker and kick-plate. It’s beautiful! I am so proud of my hubby- he did it all himself! We are so blessed that we could do it all ourselves! Check out the pictures below of the updates!
