the amazing SNAKE party...

For Austin and Cade's birthday party we decided to have a SNAKE party. It was probably the funnest party I've ever been to. Well, not for me personally, but to watch the kids and see how excited they were, made all the gross snakes worth it! (of course I didn't touch or get near any of the snakes!)

have to show off the snake cake- it took way too much time to not show it off!

Austin did so good! This snake was HEAVY and you could tell because his arms kept getting lower, lower and lower until he finally couldn't hold it anymore.

We learned that FEMALE snakes "RULE in Snake world" and they tend to get bigger than the males. So most of the snakes were female- this one's name is peaches. I loved the names they had for them! Like they are trying to make them seem not so gross or something- it didn't help

Cade was so brave!! I guess I didn't know how he would react to the snakes- but he did so good!! He was the first one to hold a snake and he had no fear! This red snake seriously loved him!


This is "squish" she weighs 145 pounds and is over 12 feet long! SHE WAS HUGE!!

This is Shane- the guy who did the party. He was so cute with the kids- and he kept us adults entertained too. Definitely recommend him for your next party! Worth every penny!!!


I have to apologize to my mom. I've always thought she was kind of a wuss- but anyone who can drape a snake around their neck is definitely not a wuss! Sorry mom!! You know I love ya!



Dax feels the same way I do about snakes...


at the end of the show they piled all of the snakes on top of the boys...too cute!

I HATE snakes and even had a hard time looking at the pictures with them on your boys. Great job on the cake.

So fun to run in to you last night! I can't believe these pictures...I love the one of Cade with his big grin holding the snake. My girls had to have me click on each picture to make them bigger so they could see the snakes...they were extremely interested in the snakes but said they would never want to touch one. What brave hunky men you're raising:)
