Jaxon had his 8th birthday party last weekend and it was AWESOME! We met at our home and he was allowed to invite 4 kids. After gifts and cake we recieved a phone call from Indiana Jones (Uncle Chad) telling the boys he needed their help NOW. We all hurried and got in the cars and drove out to my Grandma Johnson's Home. Indiana Jones was waiting there for them to help him on his adventure to find the hidden treasure.
First, they had to practice the ancient ritual of the mummy. The "ladies"(what Indiana Jones called them) were not very good at it but they tried. They all piled in Jone's jeep down the field. Then they continued on to the next task to disguised thenselves as Indiana Jones in order to fool the enemy. And it worked!
The boys began to earn Jone's respect so he let them continue to help him. The next stop was the snake pit where they all had to drink deadly snake venom(spicy V8) but all had to survive. 
They were good sports cause it was pretty nasty. Brave boys! Back in the jeep again to ward off evil spirits by shooting them with blow darts. It was successful and the kids enjoyed that stop better. After four-wheelen' through the creeks and trees, they came upon the Pit of Death and Dispair where they had to cross over it on a monkey bridge. It was kinda tense but each boy passed it without fear. The last task was to finally find the treasure hidden in the back of woods in a hallowed out tree. It took them awhile but by working together they were able to find it. It was a beautiful day for it and it went so smoothly. I planned it the day before and I am thankful it went so well and no one was hurt or even scared. 
Scary huh? Chad assured me it was safe and I trusted him. He does this all the time. This was baby stuff but when I went on a ride to preview it I was a little scared but all boys loved it!

Next year I will be doing a family party because it's an even year so now I have 2 years to plan the next adventure, instead of 24 hours. My ideas just come last minute and that can be annoying but at least they come!
I should have probally had parent release waivers.
Oh well.
Party's over. Sorry guys...I mean MEN.

That is genius! What a great idea! They are going to remember that party forever. Great job planning that party! Oh and happy birthday to Jaxon!
Zacky would have loved that party. He LOVES "Jones." The dental supply company gave a DVD to Mark last week, and Zack watched it 2 times on Friday while Mark and I painted. Your creativity once again has overwhelmed me. You are amazing.
Katie! I found you from Betsy's blog.(dont ask how I found her's, I have no idea) Your kids are getting so big! I hope you remember me :)
