Dylan's Birthday

Happy Birthday Dylan!

I can't believe he is 7 years old. Has been so excited for this day. I think this is the first year we have had a "real" party for him where we've invited friends and really planned one. Normally we just pick up a friend or 2 and go out somewhere. But this year he wanted a real party. Unbeknownst to me he planned it with his best friend Ammon his friend from Church who he played baseball with also. Thursday night as we were talking he asked me. "Mom, why isn't Ammon bringing his lazer tag guns?" I told him we had planned to do the slip and slide. He said he wanted BOTH. So I called up Ammon's mom and had her pack the lazer tag guns they had so that we would have a total of 12 guns ready to go.

The lazer tag guns have sure been a great investment and the kids still love them!

Then we ate some dinner. Hot Dogs and chips.

Another game of Lazer Tag

Time for Cake and Ice Cream before Zach had to run off to his softball game. (Which they won!)

if you look close Zach is holding a blow torch which he used to light the candles on Dylan's cake.

True to everything Dylan does right now he had a baseball cake and Zach even set up the candles in their correct positions.

Presents...

After Presents we did water balloons!

We got a big huge piece of plastic instead of a traditional slip and slide for the hill. Needless to say they all had a good time and my prayers were answered that no one got hurt. Even with about 11 people going down this crazy slide all at once!

All in all I think Dylan had a great birthday. At least he says he did.

After cleaning up the kids all grabbed their sleeping bags and headed down stairs to the new family room. While finishing the basement Kendall has kept telling us she is moving down stairs. Every time we would remind her that it was going to be Carter's room she still insisted that we put her bed down there. Since Carter started sleeping down there she has been begging to sleep down there too. We told her Friday night she could have a camp out in the basement with her brothers. So here they are all tuckered out "Camping" in the basement.
