You are 6 today! I can barely believe it!
We had to have his party a day early since it falls on Conference Weekend. We had all our family and a few close friends come celebrate with us. Rusty got home early so we could go eat at Red Robin- Braden's current fav ad then we came home to set up for the Par-tee. Since Braden's current fav is still Curious George we had that theme, complete with George Pinanta. He was so so so excited to open his presents, especially the one he had no idea about- a snowboard with boots and bindings. He has had a step in snowboard since he was three and we decided he was old enough for ski school this winter and needed a proper board. He also got three new Webkinz, bringing his total to 17 (totally out of control- but he loves them!!!) , a few Curious George books, a batman play set and a number of figures that go with it, and Berk gave him an I-Dog so he can listen to his shuffle in his room. He loves all his gifts and loves all his family and friends who came to celebrate with us! We were even lucky enough to catch the Robison family in town and got to see them too!

So for his actual birthday day we got invited to go to the lake with Blake, Addi & their boys. It was the perfect day at the lake. Cool, cloudy and other than the wind ruining the water- it was so fun. Braden & Rusty wake boarded, then Blake & Max even tried. Both guys went on the AirChair, although Blake had much better success than Rusty-who was trying it for the first time. We got totally sunburned and have learned that if it is nice enough to go to the lake in October, then sunscreen is still a must! We even got rain on the way home! And THEN, because we weren't already tired, we took B to an empty lot nearby and let him ride his quad for a while. He had a blast. Berk even got his Pops to ride with him. Then only thing left to do is to go out to dinner to Logan's for dinner after the guys get out of conference. Has this been the longest two days for anyone else??? Guess all the smiles and laughter was worth it though. Happy Birthday buddy, we love you!

Happy Birthday Braden! It looks like you've had lots of fun!
What a fun birthday! He is a seriously lucky boy. I probably would have enjoyed the day at the lake and quadding better than the actual gifts. Well, except maybe the snowboard! He probably can't wait to get up on the slopes. Sounds good to me!
Happy Birthday Braden! You have a very fun mom!!
You have a 6 year old?!!! I am so behind. Can you even believe it? You go all out. I don't think most kids are as lucky. Such a good momma.
Happy Birthday Braden!! I can't believe our little boys are turning 6. Glad yours did first :) although I only have a few weeks until Strat's bday. Looks like you guys had tons of fun!
I'm pretty sure this was the best 6th birthday party I've ever been to. Hopefully when it's time for Braden's 7th Max will be a little better with the pinata. But if not, we can always pull the strings! :)
