Happy Birthday Shawn!

It's hard to believe that my baby just turned 9 years old. He is growing into such a great guy!

We started the birthday day with our traditional "special" breakfast. Shawn doesn't really like cake so this year I made him an icecream sundae. Boy was he excited...

Those flashes are too bright first thing in the morning.
The boys love to look at their first scrapbook while they eat breakfast on their birthdays.

Shawn wanted to compare his current foot to his newborn footprint...yikes...

I like to take a bunch of pics of them on their birthday...it is fun to look back through the years to see how they have changed.

He was excited to take donuts to share in school and then we went out to Domo 77 for his birthday dinner. Of course I forgot the camera!

Today we had Shawn's "kid" party. It was at Monkey Joe's...

He was so excited to sit in the BIG chair...

He was joined by lots of friends from school...

Tim posing with Austin's ticket stash...

Ella had a blast...

And everyone had fun trying out the BIG chair...

Austin invited his best buddy to join him at the party...

He had such a blast wearing out the games...

I think I need some of those big bouncy things at my house...

The kids had a blast getting all sweaty...

Oh my...

Taking a food break...pizza and cake of course...

The actual Monkey came for a visit...

Shawn seemed to like him...but Ella informed me that he was NOT real but just a guy dressed up in suit...in her most serious Cricket voice.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the cake...

And then it was off to play some more...

Thanks to everyone who came to party with Shawn!

And Happy Birthday to my handsome little man!!
