Happy Birthday Alex!

Today is Alex's 10th Birthday, and we had his Birthday Party at Pump It Up last night. We had 14 boys and everyone had a blast! For those of you who have never been to a party there, they have kids (high school age or so) who "work" the party. This basically means they play with all of the kids. The guy we had was great! He turned the lights off and they played Hide and Seek and Dodge Ball in the dark. It was just the right amount of craziness for a room full of boys! Of course, Mitch was right in the middle of it all, not having a clue that he isn't as big as every one of the other boys!

Alex got a cell phone for his birthday. Here he is showing it off to a couple of his friends.


Here's a couple of them playing Dodge Ball and Hide and Seek with the guy who worked the party.





Mitch wanted to climb the rock wall, so he said. I think he really just likes the "fall" down. Of course, he wanted "Daddy" to help him!


This is one of my favorites. Mitch and Tyce (Mitch's buddy who is just a few months older than him) had a great time "jumping" off of the mound in the center of this "jumpy". Mitch thought he was jumping, but he really did more of a "fall". Check Tyce out in the background (blondy in grey shirt), though. He is really airborne!

Here's Jack being "King of the Jumpies"! Just a couple of minutes before this, though, he wasn't quite so cool. He hopped up on this, and kept tumbling right on over! Yep, I captured that on the camera also, but spared him putting that one on the internet! Is it just me, or does he look soooo grown?

Don't you just love this t-shirt? Alex does!

Here's the guys pigging out on pizza, cake, and ice cream. We finally found out that all you have to do to get them to be quiet is put food in front of them!

In case you are wondering about Jake... "Mimi" (my mom) came to the party and took care of him for me the whole time!!!!
