Our Billy turned 9!
I’m trying to not be in denial, but I still picture him as being 5.
I’m working on it!
Brother hugs … I love them! I also love letting the boys pick out presents for each other – they come up with fun stuff!
These boys aren’t just brothers – they are friends!
Billy is fun. His heart is big and he likes doing the right thing. He hates being corrected or told he made a mistake.
He’s very smart and likes to do things on his own – a very independent streak!
Everybody who knows him loves Billy!
The year of birthday parties continued a few days after Billy’s birthday. We took the family and a few friends to Classic Fun Center.
This place has bounce-y things, a pirate cove, roller skating, arcade, and laser tag!
The boys were in heaven!
Here is Billy (in black) shooting canon balls down at his friend Kaleb (white hat)…
In addition to all the games, Classic has a great set up for parties – pizza, soda, and balloons! Hi, Grandmama!
After playing hard for a while, the boys came for the food!
Billy got to do the birthday box where he grabbed as many flying tickets as possible in one minute – he earned 50 tickets towards a prize. And he got to spin the birthday wheel where he won $10! Billy was on a roll!
Some of us gave skating a try and some of us were the stable feet.
A 2 year old trying to skate is absolute adorableness!
Billy was pretty good on his roller blades, but he still wanted to give the “walker” a try. He liked how much faster he could go with it and he loved how much smoother the skating floor was compared to our driveway at home!
Kevin probably didn’t NEED the walker … but he certainly skated more smoothly with it!
Heehee! I might have laughed!
I love him!
I love this little goober, too!
The boys had fun on the arcade games but Bobby seemed to enjoy this merry-go-round best!
The birthday bunch – Billy, Ricky, Rusty, Tommy, Bobby, Preston, Kaleb, and Zack.
Billy got some fun gifts from his friends …
Birthday party deemed a success!
Momma deemed tired!
Happy birthday, Billy!
