Happy Birthday to my Bubster!

I know I'm a little late. We had a very busy weekend. Family came in town for Gage's birthday, which was great. He was very happy that his cousins, Maranda, Ian and Evan came up to help him celebrate. We had so much fun. We had his party at "Pump It Up." Very much worth the cost I previously was complaining about. All the adults even joined in the fun, including myself. Ask to see my injury. That's what I get for trying to race a 9 year old. I'm WAY to competitive. Some of you know this already from our "Name That Tune" competitions. ;o) Here are some photos of Gage's 9th Birthday.

My brother-in-law, Don on the slide. He got in trouble. You can only go down feet first. He showed up a little late and missed the safety video.

Gage and Jacob on the obstacle course. You see those little red foam blocks? That is what caused my injury. I fell from the top where the kids are, hit my leg on one of the foam blocks and landed on my back at the bottom of this "ladder"

Dairy Queen put Happy Birthday Gage, but he wanted mom to add "and may the force be with you." Of course I did.

I'm thinking about making this my new myspace pic.

After the party, we headed down to Island Park in Winfield for some relaxation. Actually it was to wear all the kids out. You probably can't see Jack's shirt, but I LOVE it. It says "The Hippies Were Right." I told him he should have "but they can't remember what they were right about" put on the back.
