Marines In Training

Meet the Drill Instructor

 So we decided to have a Marine party. Since Daxton is OBSESSED with wearing camoflauge and pretending to be a Marine.

The recruits had to be properly trained on a few items, like how to salute, and how to say " Sir,Yes, Sir"

 

Aty even had her face painted

 They were all given a camo bandana for their heads, and of course, had to have their faces painted before they could start their training.

Cake Time

They all made it through Training and earned their dog tags, and rifles/marshmallow shooters

The night before the party, (Daxton's real b-day) This is what we were doing. Putting together eleven marshmallow shooter guns.

Our awesome daddy, who put together, and painted everyone of these,( with the help of Tregan on a couple of course).

This is the beginning

And here are the Awesome guns!
So proud of Jayson for making these. they were so cool, and the boys Loved them!

And here is the invite we took around to Daxy's friends.

They all had so much fun. I am glad we decided to do a party. We were not planning on doing one, but then I was looking for ideas online for a cake and I ran across a military cake, and then my imagination took hold, and I couldn't resist. I knew Daxton would love this kind of party, so we had to do it! We ended up doing Way more then planned. And it was a ton of work. We planned and prepared for a week, and then Dax and I, got Strep throat, so we had to cancel. Such a bummer! But, we rescheduled, and all was good. Jayson was a Tremendous help, I think he was kinda loving it too. I guess it brought out the marine side in him.

So now I can say, Mission Accomplished, Party was a Success!

I think that will be the last big party Daxy will be having though. And now, rest? NOPE! I get to have Aty's B-day. I am just doing a cake though. (haha, ya Just a cake) That is the most work. Why do I torture myself?  Because, I love it!
