Training Jedi

Baby Beckham turned 3 months old!
But that was not what all the celebration was about...
Chandler turned 6!
He wanted a Star Wars Birthday and since he hasn't even seen any of the shows or knows who any of the characters are and there isn't any Star Wars stuff to be found in this big city, we had to make up some of our own stuff.

Reed worked hard all week on a Pinata. Darth Maul turned out great!

Stickers on card stock with a toothpick taped to it works great for cupcakes.

Special thanks to the Pollastro for letting me barrow the star cruiser and Darth Vador cake mold!

After much preperation our troops finally arrive. Jedi are very quick and so we tied a balloon to their ankles and you must pop everyone else balloon and not let yours get popped at the same time. Those were some pretty tough balloons cuz it took a while.

We practiced our aim, throwing star darts at the storm troopers.

Jedi need have the force with them and so we used our body to force the oranges across the room.

At last after all the training we decorated our bags with more stickers and are now ready and trained to take on DARTH MAUL!

After a couple of rounds and many great blows to the head we defeated Darth Maul and reaped the sweet rewards.

Reed was a little sad, all that hard work:(

Our Jedi graduates with their light sabers.

Yummy Darth Vador cake

We love Chandler soooo much. He is so cleaver, athletic, protective of his brothers, loving, willing to help, artistic, just a wonderful spirit and are so thankful for him and what he brings to our family!

and our little Beckham was entertained and happy with a balloon!
