Party on party people

Bounce house!

Today we celebrated my baby's 7th birthday!  Brayden's birthday isn't until September 4th, which is Labor day weekend.  We take a risk each year with whether or not his friends will be around.  As an added concern this year, some of his friends may not be around in the Fall.  Brayden has been attending the "kindergarten center" which is a building that houses kindergartners from two different elementary schools.  As a result, half of his friends will be attending a different school in the Fall.  :(  We thought it would be a good idea to party while all of his friends were around.  It turned out to be a GREAT day!  Thunder storms were expected and we woke up to rain, but it cleared off and was 70 out!  We had 18 kids, so thank goodness we could keep them in the backyard, our house may have exploded......

Brayden has spent all evening opening and playing with all of his loot!  He is a very lucky boy with really good friends.  He put this Lego game together all by himself.  I stayed clear of this, it was WAAAYY to overwhelming to me.  He did quite well!  What do you do when your SEVEN year old can follow directions better than you???  My brain does NOT work that way.  I can't even transform his Transformers....

Happy Birthday to my sweet, thoughtful, smart, goofy boy!  I love you Brayden Goo!
