Yesterday I got to my mom’s and was immediately put to work. She pointed to a watermelon and grapes and told me to eat a fruit salad.
Okay, she told me to make a fruit salad. But I figured cutting a little teeny piece for myself wouldn’t be too bad…
I want your cock tail fruit cocktail. Half Baked was on Friday night.
The party was for Matt’s half birthday / promotion. Since his b-day is in December and the kids are on Christmas break we usually just go out to dinner.
So this year we threw him an epic PARTY!
We got a Games 2 U van that had video games, like https://tridewislot.com/, on the outside
and inside. It was the coolest thing!
The kids also played laser tag outside.
And by “kids” I mean Ben.
Although, I think the shields were made for people a bit smaller and he killed!
Good thing he was out of the game because he was in charge of the grill!
We had quite the spread of hamburgers, hot dogs, chili, nacho cheese and any and all other unhealthy foods we could fit in the cart.
I stole a few bites of Ben’s food but was more focused on other things
We also had a balloon artist!
This party was ridiculous.
My mom’s friend Viri made the cupcakes for dessert.
Since it was a video game themed party she made a Pac-man presentation of cupcakes!
There was also a bunch with edible legos on top! How cute is this?
Ironically, I filled up the cup that had detox juice with ice and enjoyed a few too many adult punches. I don’t drink often but I was in the mood to “go big” yesterday (it’s been a stressful week). Long story short,we stayed over at my mom’s and I tried to sleep on the chair bed and just couldn’t fall asleep or get comfortable. Ugh. I need a nap.
See ya later!

WHAT THE…WHERE WAS THIS EPIC PARTY VAN WHEN I WAS A KID?!
You guys know how to throw a party!
Lee @ Anytime Health says
What a fun party! Seriously, I’m pretty much obsessed with those Cupcakes. Packman?! YES! When my family hosts a party, I’m always in charge of prepping the food. AKA eating most of the fruit salad, which I always demand we have 🙂
mary @ minutespermile says

Sue says
Matt’s party make me wanna be a kid again!
Becky @ runfundone says
That’s the coolest balloon animal I’ve ever seen! All I ever got were lame giraffes and things!
Jen @ ConcreteNCoffee says
Too awesome! A traveling game van? Craziness. Am I old enough to say “back in my day…”? Well, all I can tell you is that if a party involved games it was the Nintendo…
Hope you’re recovering well from the party 😉
runeatrepeat says

Corrie Anne says

Lindsay @ Lindsay's List says
travis = envious of ben right now.
runeatrepeat says
I don’t think anyone is envious of Ben’s tragic hangover though…
Courtney @ Outrunning Insecurities says
Wow, an awesome party! Good for your brother. Hope he had a good time. Looks like it.
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More says
Looks like a fun party! I’m sure everyone had a blast!
What is your adult beverage recipe? Malibu rum is one of my favorites!
Christine @ BookishlyB says
So glad to hear I wasn’t the only one who went overboard on the adult beverages this weekend… Love the cupcakes!
janiek @ A non-perfect girl says
Ben is looking good! And so are you, of course! It seems like such a fun party!
Jojo says
Sounds like someone had fun 😉 And damn, that fruit salad is humongous!
Losing Lindy says
What a great party!
Jac @ Challenged & Running in the Bike Lane says
What a cool party!!!!! yay!!! Loved the Lego’s on top of the cupcakes – cute. Awww…that party looked like a lot of fun! Hope your brother really enjoyed it!!!
Amber K says
Wow, that looks like a blast!!
I have never even heard of a video game bus like that. So cool.
Christie says
Those cupcakes are super cute.
I’d never heard of the video game bus thing before. So perfect for kids- bet he loved it!
Rachel L says
Ben looks like he’s lost so much weight! Looking good.
Julie says
That’s amazing! Like Jess, I wish I had that when I was a kiddo.
Jess says
What a party! I would have killed for something like that when I was younger (heck, even now!) because I adored my video games. I’m convinced Sonic the Hedgehog set up my running obsession 😉 The Pac Man cupcakes are incredible.
Ben looks amazing – he’s slimmed down so much! And so sweet playing with the kids as well – that pic of him behind the wall actually made me laugh out loud 🙂
Sally says
Such a neat party! My husband is turning thirty this year and I’m seriously considering stealing that theme 🙂
Ps Ben looks like he’s lost weight. You as always look completely gorgeous.
sara says
Yum cupcakes! cupcakes + fruit salad (+adult punch) sounds like a great meal to me!
Jodi @ Jodi, Fat or Not says
What a cool party – I bet Matt had a blast. And those cupcakes are so creative!
Angela says
That looks like the coolest party ever! I want a video game van at my next party!
Summer says
WHAAAAAT??? That party just blew my mind
Abby @ BackAtSquareZero says
OMG. Talk about killing a theme. You all nailed it. The whole thing looks absolutely amazing and the food look great. Please mail a cupcake to SC so I can try this edible legos, you know, for research sake.
chandra says
Holy awesome party! Where was my invite?! 😉
SkinnyRunner says

runeatrepeat says
You always have an open invite 🙂
