Brandon.... Can You Believe He's 9 Already?!!

The Pre-Birthday Party

Ethan was completely glued while Brandon opened his presents.

 Now, On to the Important stuff.  For his Birthday, Brandon decided to have four of his buddies over for a trip to Wonderland for some laser tag, pizza, and video games.  After that we went back to the house for a good ol' fashion sleepover (complete with lots and lots of nerf guns and an xbox 360).

 Heading into Laser Tag

 Pizza Time!

Video Games and tickets.  I think they all played 99% of their tokens on one game.

Seemed to pay off though!

 The most painful part of the trip.  Decisions, decisions, decisions....

Awww...

 After Wonderland, we headed back to the house for cake and presents.

 This is what it looks like to have 5 boys crammed in Brandon's room.  :)

Happy 9th Birthday Brandon!!!

Birthday Fun Weekend!

The dorklings before Laser Quest, and after. They had a blast!

Cassidy got Daddy all to herself for every slide since Mom couldn't ride them this time. :)
Having fun at Raptor Reef
Riding the slides is fun, but you have to be careful where you stand or you may end up with a facefull! (bottom right)
Oh, those boys!

VIDEO GAME!!! Like they have never played those before!! Then to redeem the tickets and start the painful process of trying to spend them at the prize counter.
Happy Kiddos after a very fun day!

Brandon Turns 8!!

We did some presents and such after he got home from school. Then he got to pick out where he wanted to go to dinner on his special day. :)





The note says, "Look behind the Love Seat" I couldn't figure out how to wrap his new TV. He got a 32" flat screen to hang on the wall in his new room!

Brandon Turns 7!!

We had the family over for a little celebration.
Brandon's Big Cake and Mini Cake. They turned out soooo cute!!



Cassidy Dressed up for the occasion...

Even G. Grandma was looking a little fancy.



Time to Open some Gifts!

Seven One Dollar Bills was the theme of most cards... but Aunt Brooke came thru with Barnes and Noble!!





Look... we got a reaction out of him!!!



One, Two, Three... BLOW!

Poor Aunt Brooke, became a patient in Cassidy's Hospital.
