Jaker's day. 9th bday. Colorado Buddies.

Today was fabulous.

Today was a special day.

Jake's Birthday is the 23rd.

But we held it this Monday because it was a holiday...

and all the kiddos were out of school.

And on Saturdays, everyone takes off skiing to the hills (really they do!)

so this monday was perfect!

(and for us 3 basketball games take over..saturdays are crazy!)

We had a blast. Jake loved his party. All his buds.

He invited boys from our neighborhorhood and his best sport buddies.

Jake wanted a bowling party!

done.

and super easy for me.

(remember magician last year?? loved it, but so much work!)

Here...I pay a price per head and the party is done for me!

(all I brought were party favors and cake! easy)

and I love Birthday parties.

I do them every year. Excessive? no!

Really it is such a special day for the kids.

It comes once a year, so why not celebrate that day

and make them feel so special!?

love it.

Jake had a smile on his face all day....!

So worth it! yes!

Besides these sunny blue skies and almost 60 degree heat!

it was a day to celebrate...

(Jake, Ashlyn, Mare, David, and Jordan..our favorite friends!

playing soccer today after the party.)

IT was Jake's 9th Birthday Party!

what a day! what a party!
bowling, pizza, tokens, arcades, prizes, cake,

icecream, and presents, party favors!
What a great group of friends Jaker's has.

Blake, Brandon, Dylon, Brayden, Jordan, Dalton,

David, Beck, Zach, and Blake

and can I mention how blessed we feel that Jake has made such great friends here in Colorado! I never would of imagined that in 7 months we would have all these great people in our lives!

Great pics and fun.

Love you Jake!
