Jayden & Duncan's "Field of Dreams"

I decided to combine Jayden & Duncan's birthday party into one since their birthday's are two weeks apart and we would have invited all of the same people. So we went with a baseball theme (yes we did do that for jayden's first birthday but he didn't remember and he LOVES baseball and requested that for his party). I kind of went old school baseball and my sister MaryBeth helped me make the invitations.

Here is the picture that we used:

attempted family picture (already hard with two kids, can't imagine how hard it will be with three :))

i used a blue/white striped and red/white striped seersucker as my color palate for the party. it was super fun because i was able to make tons of different things out of this fabric. (and my friend magen which i will point out her creations as they come!) it was easy because their birthday is near fourth of july so red, white, and blue is easy to find!

this is the birthday banner i made for them (i actually did it almost all by myself magen just sewed the binding on - i was proud - and it was really easy!)

i don't know if you can see the table runner - but magen made me a precious table runner out of the seersucker fabric. i LOVE it and it is so fun because i used it for the fourth as well! it is precious!

i also made tons of these flags and used them for decorations all around the house. another easy decoration idea, i glued them to skewer sticks and put them in glass dr.pepper bottles

party favors of rangers bats & balls for the big kids, and big soft balls for the little ones

cousins duncan and emery kate

jayden excited about the party - ready for people to arrive, which by the way - three is such a fun age for birthdays! he was SUPER excited about the party and woke up at 6:15 the day of the party because he couldn't wait! (too bad it wasn't until 5 that night!)

also - notice his outfit! magen made the boys matching outfits - jayden had the red/white seersucker shorts with a red t-shirt that had a baseball with the #3 on it, and duncan had a blue/white seersucker shorts with a white t-shirt with the #1 on it

precious! (am i lucky to have a friend like magen! she is so talented!)

and she made me a matching skirt :) might be cheesy but i LOVED it -and it is super comfy for this pregnant mom!

we set up the "baseball field" in the front yard and here is the "concession stand" we had peanuts, cracker jacks, sunflower seeds, and bubble gum - it was super cute!
