Porter's Birthday Party

We decided to do a birthday party for Porter before we left on vacation so that all of his friends could celebrate with him. It seems that we are always in Heber for Porter's birthday and that will probably be the case again this year. I could not have asked for a better party. Everything went very smoothly and I think that everyone had a good time. I loved planning it and making all of the fun preparations for it. We had it at the Westwood Height Sprayground, which is so much fun. All of the kids played in the water for awhile, then we had cake and opened presents, then the kids wacked the pinata, and then it was over! Porter loved his gifts and has been playing with them constantly.


Here is Porter attempting the Yoda pinata. That sucker was sturdy. None of the kids broke it open. We had one of the dads take a turn and he got it to break off of the rope, but I ended up dumping all of the candy on the ground for the kids to run and get. Poor Becca got wacked with the stick a couple of times.

Taking turns

The Knight Kids


Peyton and I having a good time.

I decided to just do cupcakes so there would be "less mess". I found some cute Star Wars rings that went with the theme.

Blowing out the candles that had already been blown out by the wind. Notice the cute Star Wars cupcake rings at the bottom.




I love Porter's face in this one :)

The kids playing in the water.

Our homemade Yoda pinata. Lynn was the mastermind behind this one, but I did most of the work. It was a lot of fun to do. Do you think we could sell one like it on ebay?

I totally think you could sell the pinata on Ebay. I think you could probably sell the C3PO one as well (or at least some like it). You could start your own pinata business!

The pinata is awesome! You two seem like good party planners. Evelyn's birthday is next week, and I still don't have much planned except for presents!
I also think you should know that because Evelyn looks at your blog with me, and all the Star Wars stuff with Porter, she has become a fan and loves watching the movies with Ben. I think it's quite hilarious. Ben couldn't be more pleased. See you guys this next weekend!

Since the Yoda pinata didn't break absoutley sell it on ebay:) Your blog made me think about our cat, Yoda. He would would hate having a bunch of kids wack at him with a bat. May the force be with you on your trip to Utah.
