On April 21, We celebrated with just the four of us on his acutal birthday. Chad and I bought him a Wii game that he really wanted, Smashmouth Brawl. I made him his favorite chocolate and we had ice cream.A week later Grandma Bobbi, Aunt Sheri, Uncle Scott and Sema came into town hoping that they would be able to see Tanner and Rylan's new cousin being born. So we celebrated Tanners birthday again with the family. This time we got an ice cream cake for all to enjoy.
Our little baby Ethan decided he wasn't ready to be born yet. The family hung out for the weekend and just enjoyed the nice Arizona weather. We played a little Rock Band and sang on American Idol on the PS3, bowled on the Wii, and played a game called Qwelf in which we all did and said some silly things. Scott had to wrap himself up like a mummy, Sema had to wear a box in her shirt and Grandma Bobbi had to play Peek a Boo with anyone who wanted to talk to her. I have never laughed so hard!
On May 3rd Tanner had 4 of his closest friends over for a slumber party. We took the boys to Rock Bottom where they each made their own pizza and to Dave and Busters for a game of bowling and video games.
It was after 10pm when we left. Presents were at home waiting to be open. Since Tanner already had 2 birthday cakes we did not have another one. I just made cookies for all the kids instead. The boys didn't seem to mind or even notice. Tanner received alot of cool gifts. His friends mostly got him Pokemon or Naruto cards. Star Wars toys were a big hit and of course the other Wii game Chad and I got him...Mario Kart. Once it was time to wind down, we realized that it was 11:30pm. The boys needed to get some shut eye. They were going still going to be here a good portion of the next day to go swimming. I hope they get in...the pool is still quite chilly. 76 degrees. aaahhhh!! All the boys slept together in Tanners room. Of course Rylan had to be in on the action with the big kids. They piled in one by one where the could. Despite the fact they actually fell asleep after midnight, they were still up at the crack of dawn. Ready for eggs, bacon, pancakes, and fruit for breakfast.
They couldn't wait to play the new Mario Kart game afterwards. But much of the morning was spent playing Smashmouth Brawl. Their boys, what can I say. They are very much into the battles! Eventually I made them go outside and get into the pool. We had not been in yet, just a bit to chilly for me. They were a little hesitant at first. I told them I would count to 3 and whomever was last standing would get thrown in. Needless to say, I did not have to throw anyone in. :) Thanks for a great time boys!I just want to say one thing about having 6 boys...I could not imagine having to feed that many boys all the time. Chad and I had an assembly line going for breakfast to get all the kids fed. By the time one of us would sit down to eat, another child would ask for some more, than another... you get the point. Just could not EVEN imagine.
