I can't believe Conner is already 7! He has been looking forward to his birthday for months and had a huge list of presents he wanted, things he wanted to do, and food he wanted to eat. We did our best to accommodate all his requests.
He woke up on his birthday morning and I surprised him by taking him to Krispie Kreme to get some doughnuts for breakfast. He loved it! He also wanted to go swimming for his big day and lucky for us, his birthday was the first day of swim lessons for the older boys. After swimming, we came home for a quick lunch and then were off to Flippin' Out with his big brother and his friend Jacob. They had a blast jumping and running and bouncing all over the place. It made me tired just watching them. It was super hot that day, so I bought them all a soda, and I may have won some major "cool mom" points for that one. You would've thought those kids had never had soda before, they were so excited about it!
For dinner that night, he chose to go to Red Robin because he wanted them to sing to him and give him a chocolate sundae.....
.... And he wanted to get a balloon.
Check. Check!
He got lots of great presents. One of the things he really wanted was a new soccer ball and goal.
He is really loving soccer and this year I think we are going to sign him up for a city team. He is super excited for it. This kid has no reservations to run after that ball and take down anyone in his way of doing so.
Soccer was kind of the theme to his birthday this year. He asked for a soccer ball cake. This was the best I could do. It was suppose to be a full 3-D ball, but when I put the 2 pieces together to make a nice round ball, it looked more like a squished, oval, UFO kinda shape. So we settled for just half of a ball. I made it late into the night the night before his birthday, so when he woke up in the morning, he told me it was "the most awesome-est cake in the world". So I guess it didn't matter that it didn't turn out like I had planned.
The effects of lots of black frosting. Gross!
I think he had a very successful birthday. It was definitely not a boring day, I know I was exhausted by the time it was all over.
I just love my little Conner. He is such a fun, active, silly little guy. He still is my little cuddle bug and gives me hugs and kisses all day long. He is so fun to have in our family!
Hope you had a great 7th birthday Conner!!!
