Brady's 5th Birthday Party

We had Brady's birthday very early this year. His birthday is September 5th and my due date is September 11th. However, I delivered Grayson at 38 weeks, so if baby girl comes at 38 weeks as well that would be August 28th. Plus the kids go back to school on August 22nd, then theres Labor Day weekend and Brady's real birthday falls on Labor Day this year. So needless to say trying to plan Brady's birthday around all of this was challenging to say the least. Not to mention I am 9 months pregnant and don't have the energy or stamina to do my usual elaborate cake and have it at the house with fun decorations and games. So, I found a great place that provided the entertainment-nothing but bounce houses with slides and obstical courses and things to climb! and they did all the decorating for me. Brady requested cupcakes-bless his little heart, and wanted his 3 best buddies from school to be there. The party was a great success! The boys jumped and ran and climbed for a full hour then had 30 minutes to scarf down cupcakes and juice, tear into birthday presents and unload the contents of thier goody bags. It was great fun! We're so glad James, Nicco (and little brother) and Robbie (and little brother) could all come and celebrate! Thanks for making a great birthday!

Grayson, my resident daredevil, would have nothing to do with any of the bounce houses! He found this little riding toy that you rode down a ramp and just had a blast! He made Pa Pa push him down it for at least 20 minutes! Thank the Lord for Pa Pa!

Party room

I couldn't have just plain cupakes, so I found these little toppers online to print out and taped them to a lollipop stick. Simple, but adds a little more flare to his Kung Fu Panda party.

The other side of the party room-all decorated by the staff there at Pump it Up. I got to come in and approve 5 minutes before the party-so great!

The boys all ready for cupcakes-Brady said party hats were a must! Love it!

As soon as we got to Pump it Up they gave him an inflatable crown and sceptor, then they had this inflatable thrown for him to sit in and blow out his candles and open presents.

Grayson really enjoyed the cupcakes!

Opening presents. Present time at kids birthday party's always crack me up. All the kids have to be in the middle of it helping. It's a big group effort!

Then of course they all wanted to be in the chair!

The Men.

Pa Pa had the day off and was able to come help out, and Tim was able to leave work early and speed across town to make it there just in time for cake. Phew! The moms were on the other side of the room gabbin away!
