Good Buddies

Thorsten brought Anna to the party and for the first time, she and Andy acknowledged each other! They shared a good chuckle watching an episode of Blue's Clues.

Blake's Cake

Blake helped me make his Bionicle cake and was thrilled with the way it turned out. I can't believe he's seven already!

We had to keep Andy away from the cake table until it was time to eat it...he kept eyeballing it saying "that wooks yuuuuuummy!"

Blake's Birthday Party!

All his friends came over to help him celebrate! He had a Bionicle themed party in our backyard area with lots of games and general running around.

Benji, Christine, Blake and Tristin getting ready to three-legged race!

Blake had a Hot Wheels pinata at his party...the kids had a great time whacking at it!

More Bionicles!

Blake's Birthday Morning

We told Blake he could open his gifts from family on the morning of his birthday before his party. Of course, he woke up bright and early...it was like a Christmas morning just for him! He was thrilled to find that he got a cool spaceship Matchbox set and a bunch of the Lego Bionicles he'd really been wanting (these are robot things that you build out of little plastic pieces).

Birthday Cupcakes at School

Andy and I took cupcakes to Blake's class the Friday before his birthday and his class loved them. Notice Blake's cool "It's my Birthday" shirt!

Andy and Cooper

Andy and his buddy Cooper had a playdate at McDonald's the other day...they did very little eating but they sure did have a great time on the play area!

Let's Bowl!

Blake's an awesome bowler!

Andy didn't quite get it, but he and his Kitty Friend had a fun time trying!
