This little blondie turned SEVEN in late July!
He wasn't always a blondie...
He originally came to us a red head.
Like his Pops.
And our pup.
Here's the proof.
It's too bad he wasn't cute back then.;)
When he arrived I remember thinking to myself,
"Oh, here we go- the beginning of my little tribe of redheads!".
But he fooled us!
After his first haircut at nine months old the red was gone forever!
Oh, how seeing these pictures from our old (and first) house makes me miss our Arizona days.
Those were some good times!
It's tradition that the kids get to choose a family birthday outing on their big days. Parker always chooses Boondocks, and E Cowabunga Bay.
So the morning of P's birthday(a Monday), we headed to Boondocks for a little celebrating....if you can call it that.
Somehow, within an hour of being there, both girls had numerous screaming, crying meltdowns. As Lexi was kicking and rolling around screaming on the floor by the arcade (furious that she was too little for the kiddie land) while we waited for the boys to ride the slick track, I was seriously regretting our decision to all come especially since I had loads of things to do at home to prepare for P's friend party the next morning... when over walks Emmie, out of the playland, sopping wet.... and dripping in pee!
FABULOUS.
(My regretful thoughts were confirmed in that moment!)
I could feel the stares of horror from the other parent's boring a hole into the back of my head (whose kids were crawling around in now pee-marked kiddie land).
AWE-SOME.
Frozen in horror, and doing my best to avoid all eye contact with the rightfully disgusted parents as my four year old dripped urine all over the floor, and my out of control toddler thrashed around in hysterics next to me (trust me, acknowledging her makes it worse and picking her up can result in serious scratch injuries to my face), I frantically began texting my husband wondering how the slick track could possibly take five hours, with virtually no line. Finally they reappeared and we resolved to all go home, and Chris and P would come back in late afternoon to complete P's day of fun in peace -- exactly the way it probably should have started - just the two of them!:)
Crazy kids.

So off we went and opened presents
and made cupcakes while putting together finishing touches for the next day's party.
P was sooo excited for his new legos (this is his first time having Legos that aren't the bigger Duplo kind), beyblades, and the new Wii game Pikmin (to be mailed the following week - after it's release date).
That night we were off to the Hansens (I forgot my camera!) where we did fireworks and had some more celebrations!
And that was just the beginning of a wild, unexpected week!!!
Next up - A Sports Party with 13 little boys!
