Happy 7th Birthday James

James is officially 7 years old! Today was his day and exactly how he hoped it would be. The day began with candle-filled donuts for breakfast. Then we were off to school with Cinnamon Twist & Sprinkle Donuts for his first grade class (after they sang to him of course). Daddy came home early to pick him up from school & give him the absolute BEST PRESENT EVER!!! Lego Starwars for the Wii. James (and Josiah) were thrilled beyond belief. After an hour of Light saber battles & pod racing, we hit the Soos Creek Trail for a little hike before playing at the playground.
Finally it was time to head home and eat pizza followed by Cold Stone Cotton Candy ice cream (filled with marshmallows, white chocolate chips, sprinkles and gummy bears) Sounds appealing, huh?

Before tucking him in bed, I asked him to tell me a little about his favorite things:

Video Games: Excite Truck, Lego Starwars and Mario Party 8 on the Wii.

Board/Other Games: Frame-it, Sneaks, I Spy Bingo, Boggle, Phase 10 and Wheel of Fortune.

Outdoor Activities: Jump on the trampoline, swinging, squirt gun fights, camping and hiking.

Sports: Football, Basketball, Soccer, Baseball and Wrestling. (He also asked if Boxing was considered a sport because he likes to box his brother...if his Mom lets him).

Things that Happened This Year: Roller Skating, Jonathan being born, March for Babies Walk on Timothy's Team, Easter, Seattle Fountain, Riding his Scooter & Bike, and Camping.

School Memories: Treasure Box Picks, Recess, Friends

Friends: Austin, James B., Anthony, Brandon, D-Ray, Marcel, Nathan, Josh, Jordan, Jacob, Bradley, Kalacious, Connor

P.S. You may have noticed in the first picture that he also received a splint/wrap for his birthday too...I'll blog more about that tomorrow after his appointment with the Orthopedic Doctor :)
