Kallen's Star Wars Party

Kallen asked to have a Star Wars theme for his seventh birthday.  Dad and I spent a while trying to figure out what that would look like.  We finally came up with a great idea and it was such a success.  We used our church again because nothing is more conducive for ten first grade boys than a big room to run around in.  The party consisted of the boys becoming Jedi Knights.  They learned how to race the Y-Wings, (scooter races), dodge asteroids (dodge ball), and fight with lightsabers.  Although the highlight for them all was the training that involved fighting Darth Vader.  Our 6'8" friend, Lamar volunteered to dress up and surprise them all.  After the boys accomplished their tasks they were rewarded with their certificates.  We ended the party with cake and opening presents.  We asked Kallen if he had fun and he said it was by far his favorite party he has ever had, I call that a win.

Kallen Turns 7 Years Old

Today Kallen turns 7!  He is so excited to be 7, but I want him so badly to stay small.  Everyday he continues to prove to us that he is one intelligent, humorous, determined, engineer boy who thankfully still loves his cuddles.  

Currently Kallen still loves anything to do with Legos, playing with friends, school, Star Wars, board games, video games and basketball.  

Happy 7th Birthday, Kallen!

Love you to the moon and back, little man.

Wisconsin Dells

We started our spring break with snow and lots of routine activities at home.  We ended our spring break with water and fun in Wisconsin Dells at the Great Wolf Lodge.  Whenever someone asks us to join them in doing something social, as long as we are free it's pretty much a guarantee that we will join them.  A week before break some of our friends, the Jackson family (Lamar, Nikki, Xandra, Keshawn, Zaeden and Meisha) asked us to go with them to the Dells.  Thanks to Dad's work flexibility we booked it and were off ten days later.  We stayed for two days and had such a fabulous time!  We had never been to the Great Wolf Lodge.  The resort is designed for younger families so the rides were dead which was the best we could ask for, up and down with no wait.  We also participated in their free crafts, cookie making, games, dances at nights and story-time.  Perfect way to end our spring break!
