Braiden's 9th Birthday

My boy turned 9 yesterday.  What? That means that this is his last year in the single digits, that also means that his mother must be getting old.

The lucky kid got to go on a field trip to the planetarium on his birthday- fun fun.  When he got home he had to tell me about all the snakes he saw.  Ewww! Wait...what are snakes doing at the planetarium? Anyhoo I guess the planetarium wasn't the only place they visited.

We had Grandmas and Grandpas over for hamburgers to celebrate.

He is so big now we let him light his own candles.




He was excited to have his cake



Make a wish.



Waiting to open presents.



Legos!!



What he really wanted- Under Armour (do you see how excited he is?)




And a new Wii game.  I tricked him and wrapped it in a Ritz Cracker box so he couldn't guess what it was. ;)  It worked.  :)








They had their pinewood derby last week. We didn't win this time...maybe by the time Hudson is in scouts we will know how to build a winning car.  :)

Your boys are growing up so fast and they are handsome! It seems that once they start school the race is on and they are never little again! Cute family!
