Vann's 11th Birthday!

How is it that my first born is 11 years old?  For reals, how does that happen?  It's like you blink and poof!...they're all grown up.  Okay I know he's not really all grown up, but you get where I'm going with this.  My creative, passionate, sweet lil Vann is 11!  

His birthday gifts.

He's like I know this is a book!

The new Diary of a Wimpy Kid came out 3 days before his birthday...perfect timing!

Legos!  It's a chain reaction set.  Pretty cool. 

He's like no way, this isn't?!

Yep it sure is!  Bloxels...it was on his wish list.

He was pretty excited about this one.  You create your own video games.  

A robot dragon!  He love to build stuff.

This one's from Grandama...

3D Qixels...also on his wish list.

One happy 11 year old! 

Putting his dragon together.

Meanwhile these two are playing Perfection. 

Happy Birthday time!
So bright!!

Love this sweetness.

For his birthday surprise we took him and a few friends to a Room Escape.  It was so much fun!!  And difficult.  We didn't escape in time, but all had the best time.  My fav was the car ride home.  Listening to them all jabber about what we solved and didn't solve.  We can't wait to go back to another Room Escape soon!

Happy birthday to the not so little boy who first stole my heart.  It's the the best 11 years of my life.  Love you Vann!

Chayce's birthday surprise!

For Chayce's birthday surprise this year we took him and a few friends to this place called Funtopia.  And boy was it fun!!  

But first we had a few hours to kill because this momma didn't realize she needed to reserve a time to climb online.  So we walked around the strip mall and just hung out.

Dude perfect with a
water bottle. 

Vann got it to land on
the cap two times!

This face...makes my heart gush. 

A few giggles with Grandma before they got suited up to climb.

It's time, yay!!  There were a ton of different walls to climb.

Ash did so well!

Vann's doing the rope walk.

Chayce is almost to the
top of the towers.

Yes!!

Ash made it to the top of the ladder many times!

Chaycers at the top of the tires!

Mia on the shapes.

Kayla on the ladder.

Chayce on the beanstalk.

Chayce loved this
wall with the lights.

He was so focused while he climbed...it was adorable.

Chayce on the shapes.

Yay!  He climbed the tires to the top many times too.

Jump and swing!

This was how you told
them you wanted to
climb...so cute!

You had to move these balls through the maze as you climbed.

So these blocks were Chayce and Mia's favorite!  

Stack, climb, fall, laugh...over and over and over again!  It was the best!! 

Ash and Vann

How cute is he?!

He never stopped...kept at it the whole time!

Such an amazing group of kids.  I love them all!

Chaycers jumping...so fun!

And now he's sliding.  They all loooved this!

It was a fun filled time!  And most importantly my Chaycers had a memorable 8th birthday.  Love you my sweet Chaycers!
