A Hunting Themed Birthday Party

I must have had too much time on my hands and nothing upcoming to plan because I decided to give Wesley a birthday/going away party. This coming Saturday, the 19th, he turns 22 and on the same day he’s flying to Canada.

It’s hunting season once again and Seth is the hunting guide, Wesley his wrangler and this time they’ll have their own cook….. Jessica! They’ll be riding in on horses for 3 days and once in, they won’t be coming out for 2 months. This will be an adventure for Jessica to cook over a camp fire if they’re unable to get a propane stove for her.

Anyways, back to the party. We had a hunting theme – thus all the bright orange. 🙂

I love themed parties. They make the planning so easy.

Notice how green the mountain is? That was all burnt over during the Goodwin Fire but with the rains, the grass has come back and is quite vibrant.

Targets were part of the centerpieces with branches from the tree in our front yard cut and placed into mason jars.

I was so excited about the cake’s decorations and the cake actually tasted really good. Purchased at Fry’s, we ordered the 1/2 sheet size with Cool Whip topping. I was so happy with it that I wouldn’t hesitate to order a cake from them again and we’re not even cake fans.

Happy 22nd Birthday to Wesley… people lover, passionate about life, fun loving, a natural leader, bookworm who will stay up all night reading, lover of Jesus Christ and His Word, hunter, top notch walleyball/volleyball player and a big fan of shopping thrift stores! If you are familiar with the DISC personality profiling, he’s a D to the core.

Sometimes I just want to smack him a good one but there’s no one like our Wesley. He’s loyal, loving and cares deeply and we’re so happy he’s one of ours. xoxo
