6th Birthday (in pictures)

A new bike from Mom and Dad.


Trying out said new bike at 6:45 in the morning. Truly.


6 birthday donuts for breakfast. Because who cares about good nutrition on your birthday?!


Sweet siblings.

Surprise! I got to visit G's classroom for the first time all year. It was another little girl's birthday, too. 6 years ago her mom and I wheeled past each other in the birthing center. I was post-op and she was just checking in. 2 sweet babes resulted.

2 cookies and an ice cream sundae cup. To go with the 6 donuts from earlier.

It's probably thanks to Isaac that Grayson has survived kindergarten (and pre-school)! Our boy is not so much of an independent spirit yet. He's more of a 'lean on the shoulders of others' kind of kid. He's lucky to have such a good friend and classmate in Isaac!

Using the force...

Celebrating at Red Robin.

That would be a cherry in his hand. The cherry from the top of his ice cream sundae. Yes, the 2nd ice cream sundae of the day. (And he may or may not have indulged in a little 'mile high mud pie' after that.)

My soccer cake creation. I am happy to report that absolutely no tears, curse words, or knife wielding resulted. This year.

Soccer bowling--employing the throwing technique. Go, Isaac!

Soccer bowling--employing the kicking technique. Nice work, James!

Soccer pinata--with a twist. The kids kicked at it instead of swinging at it. Very fun, indeed!

Nice form, Josh!

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

6!

G was happy, happy in the presence of his best friends, lots of Legos, and many other cool toys!

And this is what you get when you ask 2 buddies to pose for a nice birthday picture...

I should have known. Silly me.

Yes, plenty of bright red faces and sweaty heads but a fun time, nonetheless.

Happy 6th Birthday, G!
