Darth Vader came to visit Egan for his party. I asked him before hand if he wanted him to come, and he was so excited to see Darth Vader, but when the moment happened he got a little scared. Luckily he's not too tramatized. Darth Vader was played by my dear friend Rebbecca's Husband Kent. Thanks guys!

Singing Happy Birthday to Egan
It took him a while to blow out the candles. But he did it all by himself! What a big boy!
Egan's Birthday!!!!!!
Egan had is 4th Birthday! Be prepared tons and tons of pictures! Of course we had a Star wars themed party because it just happens to be Egan's favorite thing right now. Here is Egan wearing one of his "Party Hats" obviously a Darth Vader mask. The table cloth had 3d characters and spaceships on it so when you wore the mask, or 3d glasses it was neat. 
Egan opening his presents with his aunt and uncles. Pay no attention to the chunky lady next to him. 
We played pin the light saber on Luke Skywalker. Evelyn is so funny when she's dizzy. 
Just a few of the zillion star wars toys Egan got. (taken the morning after) Thanks to everyone for donating to his ever growing toy pile. Car sets, dinosaurs, toy tools, books, and homemade head gear were also part of the hysteria. 
So, I spent a long time planning for this cake. I tried to make the cake look like a spaceship cut in half horizontally. I colored, cut, and laminated cardboard pieces for the "wings?" The cake was chocolate fudge with a cherry filling and just plain vanilla frosting. I used a little chocolate frosting for decoration. I got on Ebay and found these great figurines for a deal. They originally came from Disneyland and were still in the package. Included in the package was of course Darth Vader, R2, C3p0, a star trooper, a bounty hunter, chewie, an Ewok and of course Yoda. 
In planning for the pinata, I made a star ship like the one Luke Skywalker flies. Unfortunately the whole thing was made with card board and extremely solid, so... I made a death star out of just paper mache and a balloon. 
Egan Loves the "space ship" Its still holding strong. Its amazing what you can make with paper mache and a little paint.

Evelyn's Missionaries
We've recently had the missionaries over for dinner a few times (we're lucky, our ward has our own set!)These elders are great hard working young men, and we enjoy having them over. Evelyn has decided these young men are one of her favorite things. Though she acts shy and timid when they are here she talks about them all the time. The other night when Aaron left to do splits with the missionaries I was left to put the kids to bed by myself and this is how my conversation went with 3 year old Evelyn:
"Is Daddy at work?"
"No, Honey, he went with the missionaries, he'll come home and give you a kiss later."
"Missionaries coming?"
"We'll see them again another day, Good night."
"I want the missionaries! I want a kiss!"
"I'll give you one, and Daddy will be home soon."
"No Mommy I want to kiss the missionaries!"
What could I say to that? As a teenager, I admit I tried my darnedest to flirt with the poor missionaries in our area.
After laughing a bit and giving her a few kisses I simply said, "Sweetheart, we can't kiss the missionaries. When your older you can marry one when they come home. Mommy did."
Cross your fingers she isn't planning her wedding. =)
