Rexford turned 5 on July 11th! I can't believe he's 5! He is growing up so fast. This year he wanted a LEGO Star Wars party. They only sell party supplies for this theme online so we bought regular Star Wars plates and cups. I spent the week before his birthday making Lego Star Wars figures out of fondant to put on the cake. Rexford wanted Boba Fett, Luke, and Yoda. He wanted Darth Vader too but the box of fondant I bought that was supposed to have black in it was packaged wrong and had yellow instead. So I just made the others. I had never made figures out of fondant before so I think they look pretty good for my first time. I also made some little Lego blocks with a silicone mold. Rexford LOVED his cake. He wanted to look at the figures every day and he thought they were so cool. He kept telling me how much he loved his cake and that makes me happy.
For his birthday we took him and Austin to Monkey Joe's to bounce and have fun. The boys were so excited to go and even more excited because Aly and Todd came to town and were meeting us there. They were very excited to see Matthew and Jacob. We had a fun morning of bouncing and sliding and running around. After the kids were tired out we went to 7-Eleven for free slurpees. Then we went home to get ready for Rexford's party. We had some family over for swimming and cake that evening and he was very excited to open his presents, eat his Lego Star Wars cake, and swim with his cousins. He had a great day and lots of fun!
