A Super Michael Mario Kart Birthday

Happy 6th Birthday Michael Bichael!! We all had so much fun at his Mario Kart Birthday! Just check out his invite! (I'm really proud of this one! I made four different styles with four different Mario Kart characters - Bowzers, and orange, is Michael's favorite)


Voila! Grammy's custom deluxe Mario Kart birthday cake. Michael special ordered a half vanilla with vanilla frosting and half chocolate with chocolate frosting cake from his expert cake-makin' grammy. She used Fruit by the Foot for the track and real remote control Mario Karts on top.




The kids played a Mario Kart Wii tournament, of course. I'm pretty sure everyone ended up winning.


And, ahhhh, the presents. What a happy Michael. Thanks friends!



Mike was happy to let his guests help him tear into his gifts and even help him in the unwrapping. SO fun!


Happy Birthday Michael! We are so proud of you! You are growing up to be such a wonderful boy! We love you!!

SURPRISE Huntie!!

She was TOTALLY surprised!! Hooray! I guess that's what happens when you throw a nine-year-old her birthday party almost exactly three months late, lol. Poor Huntie. But what a SURPRISE!


Huntie's fellow rockstar girlfriends showed up 30 minutes before Huntie and decorated, setup and even frosted Huntie's birthday cupcakes for her Super Rock Star Makeover Surprise Party. They did SUCH a fantastic job.



My awesomely talented friend Geneva, along with my and cousin Ann's skills, made over all our little rock stars. Geneva was our diva hairstylist to the stars, Ann our hyper-glam makeup artist, and I was our costume makeup artist.


Et voila . . . a rock star photo shoot complete with daddy's electric guitar.













PRESENTS!!! Oh, yes!

ConGRADUATIONs Grammy!

Thirty four years after her high school graduation, Sarah Elizabeth Theriot Voisin graduates from Nicholls State University Magna Cum Laude with her Bachelor of Arts in Music with a minor in English. WOOHOO!!

(Sarah's the one in the back with the yellow sash)

Happy Un-birthday Michael!

Michael's 6th birthday falls exactly ONE week after the end of school. So, Mrs. Caillouet permitted him to celebrate a couple weeks early with his class. He choose key lime pies for his treat! Yum!

Fundraiser? We don't need no stinkin' fundraiser!

Does your kids' school do fundraisers out the wahzoo? Ours too!!

After a few bad fundraiser experiences, our family has sworn off participating in them. Sadly, our kids get to go to the same thrilling pep rallies pumping kids up to sell. The favorite prize is a limo ride to Outback Steakhouse for a certain number of items sold. Since we exclude our kids from the entire system, Kevin promised Hunter and Michael their own personal limo ride as compensation.

Kevin, along with two of his friends, rented a limo to pick the kids up from school and gallivant around town for two hours.


Exhibit A: Huntie just moments after spotting the limo in the school parking lot and seconds away from entering it for the first time ever.


Exhibit B: Total chaos and ecstasy among all children involved. Not sure if it's due more to BEING in the limo or being in the presence of so much free candy (note: blue tongues, etc.) and juice boxes.







Exhibit C: Riding alongside a full school bus in a limo. Coolness factor COMPLETE.



Exhibit D: Limo Surfing. A true phenomenon.


Exhibit E, F, G . . . etc.:
