First days of school/accident to elijah/isaacs bday

I think Isaac had a wonderful day....Here he is in his GI Joe costume, his kindergarten teacher got him, he was thrilled to have her at the party, his "girlfriend" Megan came(she is below), and he got some many fun gifts, he got some transformer, gift cards, airplanes, more army stuff, nerf guns, and a new DS, hes been wanting one and had to wait til he was 7, that was the magic number and this was the year!!! All in all I think it was a great day!!!!








yes these are all the kids at the party!!!!
Yes, Nathan had to hold the Pinta, it was too heavy to hang so he was breave enough to hold it....what was he thinking.....


Isaac and the pinta....and Isaac and one of his buddies Andrew, he lives across the street....


As you can see his theme was "Army", and he had a great birthday, I think the whole neighborhood was here, oh there was so many kids, its was WILD and crazy!!!! I don't think I have ever had that many people at my house.....
Oh boy where is the time go? My little man is 7 years old!!!! He is getting way too big and its hard to believe its been 7 years since he was born, that Nathan was just starting the Army, and that he was my little boo who cried all the time, he is growing up so fast and to be a great little man!!!!

By the next morning it had gone way way way down, he looked so much better!!

We have been enjoying hanging out on our patio, and the boys have been having fun playing tag outside, especially at night, well this night Elijah and one of our neighbor boys ran right into each other, and Elijah got the biggest and strangest bump on his head...its looks horrible, but he was and is fine...it was a big 'ol bump...made mom a tad nervous, luck Nathan was home to take charge...the bump has gone down and now he has a nasty black eye, they like to call it his rainbow eye because it was so many colors in it.....


Isaac got some rollar blades from Mimi and Pappo for his birthday, he did a really good job on them for only having them for one day!!!!

The boys first 1/2 day of school, Elijah started 4th grade, and Isaac started 1st grade, my boys are growing up way too fast!!!!

Lydia and Nathan on their date night....they went to Chucky Cheese!!!!
