The mother of a birthday nut!

My baby turns 9 on October 31st! So Sunday we celebrated AJ's birthday with his friends at a nearby party place. Bowling, pizza, cake & video games = 10 little boys in complete heaven. It was a last minute deal and I was so grateful we did it. If anything, it showed us how quickly he is making friends and once again what a fantastic friend HE is to others.

I really don't know where this kid gets his crazy humor?:


Apparently we were not the only parents in this area who had the super duper party idea! It is a huge place so you hardly knew there were other parties going on!

These sweet, beautiful, wonderful eyes of my AJ...get me ever time!

Watching 10 little boys bowl was hilarious. I'm so grateful for bumpers and kids who jump up and down with excitement if even one pin goes down.



This is the sort of face I should always remember to have:



Especially (as I already vented on facebook) when a dad drops off an older sibling with the invited child. Why do people do that? Then to pick them up a half hour late...I think he wanted to see fire come out of my nose?! I need to remember to have "the more the merrier" attitude like my son.

I love this child!

Happy Birthday to AJ. Looks like he had a great time. I would be upset with that Dad too. What was he thinking?
