My, how time flies when you have kids! I've always been told to cherish the time you have with them, but never dreamed a year could pass so quickly. For their 6th birthday I decided to let the boys have a "friends" birthday party. I let them each choose their own party theme and invite 3 friends. I had mapped out the entire 2 hours that the kids would be at our house. Doesn't sound too difficult does it? Well, it wouldn't have been had it not decided to rain that day.....all day! All my fun-filled party games and activities were supposed to take place outside. Now what? Try entertaining eight 5 & 6 year old boys indoors for two hours and see how your nerves are by the end of the day. All in all I would have to say it went pretty well. Greyson & Kaeden and all of their friends had a blast so that's all that matters.
The first of several balloon games. They had to push against each other to try and pop the balloon. Looks harder than you think. The balloons kept slipping out and we would have to reposition them again.
Greyson and Jacob Van Winkle hold the balloon between them and wait patiently for Andy to get everyone else ready.
Kaeden gives me the "How you doin'?" look.His partner was Justin Maggard.
Jay Meinders and Alex Buswell
Avery McGee and Dylan Warrick push with all of their might.
Yet another balloon game...to see who's balloon deflates and flies the furthest across the room.
Greyson chose The Incredible Hulk as his theme.
And Kaeden chose Pokemon as his.
Greyson waits patiently for the singing to stop.
Kaeden gets ready to blow out his candles.
Who will win??? Believe it or not, our asthma boy (Kaeden) won.
Present time....the best part of all!
So meticulous.
Oh, wow!
Look mom, Ben 10...just what I wanted!
A cool game called "Hot Shots"
Time for cake and juice.
Look at all the Pokemons and Hulks!
What a fun bunch of boys!
What happens after a sugar high.The Sunday following their birthday we had another party for them with our families. Just what they needed.....more gifts.
Look at all of those! Where am I going to store all of those toys?
Cool! Star Wars toys!
Sweet! My Ben 10 Omnitrix!
Awesome! My Black Bumblebee!
Eyeing each others toys.
Both of the boys LOVE musical cards so we got them each a Star Wars musical birthday card. They thought that was awesome!

What a riot! I give you lots of credit for that one! 6 year old boys scare me a little lol!! I was just looking at pictures from last Thanksgiving, which is the last time we saw you guys and all the kids look so SMALL! I hope we all connect at Christmas!
Ok, so you realize I do have things to be doing at this time of night other than reading your blog, right? You do realize that? Ok, good. In that case, love your blog! Keep posting! Glad you found me; although I am curious how you found me. Had I e-mailed the address to your mom?
I'm stumped. My little blog roll thing says you last posted 5 days ago, a post entitled Halloween. However, the most recent post I can view on your blog is from the boys' birthday. Did you change your security so I have to be a member of your blog? Or am I just having technical difficulties tonight?
