I have to start out with a cute picture of Olivia in her shades. She rules the house.
Thomas is turning 9 next wednesday. He had his birthday party on friday night. He invited three of his best friends (Parker, Creighton, and Michael) to go to Crackerjax to play goofy golf and ride the go-karts and bumper boats. Josh got to go also. The way there and back, 5 boys had their Pokemon books out and traded Pokemon the whole trip. I don't see why they love those cards so much, but they are all into it. Once at Crackerjx, we were there for over 3 hours, and I think everyone had a good time.
This picture is the boys getting ready for golf. They thought they had it all figured out. It quickly turned into speed golf and something I havn't seen. They soon found themselves on the ground, trying to pray that their balls would go where they needed them to go, and if it didn't, they would try to blow behind it to keep it from going backwards. It didn't work very well.
Here the boys are in line for the bumper boats. I don't see many frowns.
Later on, I caught Thomas and Josh running around with their arms around each other getting ready to ride again. As the parent, it is nice to see that even with Tom's good friends there, Tom and Josh are still best friends.
I have to admit that after the first round of go-karts, I thought they were going to kick all 5 of the boys out of the park. The go-karts are not supposed to be bumper-karts. Tom's friend Parker was a very aggressive driver, it must be that go-kart he got for Christmas. They all started basically ramming each other fighting for position going around the turns. I was waiting for the guy in charge to stop and throw them all out, but the teenager just let them go at it. It was fun to watch. Those poor cars are in bad shape.
Back to the house for some ice cream cake and presents.
They spent the rest of the night staying up and playing what boys are addicted to, the Wii and video games. This morning they woke up and were playing some more.
The house is put back together now, and everyone is a little tired, but this was a birthday party that Thomas really enjoyed.

That looks fun, Rach! My kiddos are totally into Pokemon cards too...I don't get it.
Your a good mom...I still say pizza and cake is good enough! Creighton had a blast! Hope he wasn't to bad!
Olivia is too cute! It looks like the boys had a blast! Katie just had her first sleepover this weekend. It may be awhile before the next one. I can't believe you had 4 boys over! You are supermom!
Parker had a great time!! We heard all about it the next day. Sorry about Parker's "aggressive" driving. My kids a freak--I don't know what else to say. Sounds like Thomas had a great party though.
