Kevin's 27!!! Also known as...

...Halloween in July!!! Yet another fabulous Halloween birthday party for Kevin has come and gone, and I have to say that the costumes from this year were the best we've seen! I tried to make sure and get a picture of everyone's costume who came, so enjoy!

*PREPARATIONS*

First of all, there's all the work that went in to the party beforehand...singlehandedly done by Rachel! That's not entirely true, Tyler did help hang streamers...

Rach putting some finishing touches up before the party...she made all of the decorations herself!

It was amazing the transformation our apartment went through for the party! I wish I had gotten pictures of all the food Rachel made also, but of course it was all eaten by the time I remembered to. There were carmel apples, chocolate covered pretzels, cake balls, cupcakes...and a cotton candy machine!!

*COSTUMES*

I can't even tell you how stressful our costumes were to make...but I'm so glad they worked out!!

I hope everyone read this book when they were little...

Ty's the main Wild Thing (his name's Moishe in the book) and I'm the little boy Max, dressed up as a Wild Thing...

I told Ty we have to wear these costumes to the Wild Things movie when it comes out in October...which if you haven't seen it it looks amazing! Check it out here...

Here's everyone else, pretty much in order of arrival...There are a bunch!

Neal (on the right) brought back shaving cream man from last years party, and Mike was a lotion covered toga wearing fella...

Nicole and Jason as Salt and Pepper

Brock and Kelsie as the milk man and his pregnant lady...his tag says "I want to be YOUR milkman" :)

Spencer and Staycee as Ken and Barbie

Adam and Megan as Hawaiin Luau dancers

L-R: Randy as a Booty Call, Jake as a hunter, Stuart as a bicyclist, Adam as a chick magnent, and Ben as a Soccer player...Randy and Adam definitely get the most points for creativity!!

Jared, Jess, and Jack as Indiana Jones characters from the Temple of Doom movie

The Birthday Boy and Party Planner themselves...as Beetlejuice and Lydia

Orrin and Andrew as a Russian Mafia guy and a happy tourist...Orrin's hat will return later...

The Wild Thing, Nick as a Cowboy, and a tourist

Matt, Ben, and Erin as Hannah Montana and her two tough bodyguards

Nathan and Brooke as Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter...another movie that looks like it's going to be awesome!

Jake and Jeremy as UFC fighters

Brye and Michelle were two bags of trash :) Hefty and Glad

Omar and Jeff as Mario and Luigi

Nate as a rocker and Kade was a lucha libre fighter/Slipknot drummer...

Jen, Dylan, and Savannah as Hawaiins. I didn't get a picture of Carter, who was a walking Business Card!

Brock as another little Hawaiin...I don't have his little sis Ella who had on a cute little kimono

Chad, Vanessa, and Chloe as Bret Michaels and Daisy from Rock of Love...and Chloe as their would-be future child :) I wish you could see Chad's blonde ponytail!

Stephan as Skinny Dad...if that doesn't make sense to you watch this

Regan, Ashley and Cole as Alice in Wonderland, the Ace of Hearts, and the White Rabbit

And presenting...

CHASE!!! Who rode the bus up from New Jersey to surprise Kevin for his party. And not only did he do all that, he even wore Rach's body suit to the party...what a great friend! It was so fun having Chase with us for awhile...just like the good old days!

Winners of the Best Costumes...3 years running! The pressure is getting to be more than I can stand...

And of course...

The Cotton Candy Machine! It's not a party till there's Cotton Candy...Rach manned it most of the time...

But occasionally you could find maybe a tourist...

Or Beetlejuice making Cotton Candy...it was way fun

Everyone who was at the party!

All the boys

All the girlies

Here are some more fun pictures of some of the games we played, and more costumes!

And luckily even Misfit who'd had a horrible day, (he HATES wearing costumes, and was uncomfortable with everyone elses odd attire), was able to make a best friend at the party:

Orrin's hat! Misfit absolutely loved it, and wore himself out trying to cuddle with it

I think he thought it was his long lost mother...very funny but a little sad...

We had such a fun time at the party, thanks to the Radebaugh's for putting it all together!!!
