Brady's 6th Birthday

Thursday, May 15th, Brady turned 6 years old.  He has been waiting and waiting for this day.  We have had a count down calendar and have been speaking daily of all the fun things we will do on his special day.  Since he has a May birthday, he is the second to last one in his class to turn 6.  Brady is so done with being 5 years old.  Well, he doesn't have to wait anymore.

First things first, the traditional birthday breakfast...doughnuts!

 We decided to have his party on his actual birthday, so we had a kickball party outside at our church.  We had 20 kids there total and they had a great time.  This first party picture is Eli pitching and Brady playing short stop.  Brady was given a crown from his kindergarten teacher and he wore it all day long.

 2nd party picture: Macy Ashurst (in the pink dress), Brady's friend, Sam, and Brady talking strategy on the kickball field.

 5th party picture: Brady, Austin Bailey, and Carlie Bailey (those two are not related) on the playground equipment

 A close up of Major...it is almost impossible to get a good picture of him.  He immediately wants to "see it"...usually before I've even taken the shot.

 Macy Ashurst and Brady who is "king of the playground"

 It is hard to see this group shot, but I'll try to say who they are as best as possible.  On the far left is Levi Summers (but you can only see his hair, it looks like Micah has his hand up where Levi's face should be), Micah Kohring, Sam Standifer, Brady, Austin Bailey, Trey Chamberlain, Carlie Bailey, Macy Ashurst (her sister is next to her, but I don't know her name), Jonah Kohring, Tyson Summers, and Eli.  There were a few kids still playing and a couple showed up late.  It is really hard to get 20 kids in a picture. 

 Pizza time! Starting on the left with the girl in orange (whose name I don't know but who is Macy's sister), then Major, then Levi Summers, then Tyson and Ryder Summers, Eli, Jonah and Micah Kohring, and Macy Ashurst.

 Carlie Bailey, Brady, Sam Standifer, Austin Bailey, Trey and Shelby Chamberlain, and Macy's 3rd sister (whose name I also don't know)

 Kickball party turned into wrestling match...you can see Brady is on top of Eli (Brady is the one wearing the crown...still...)

 Savannah Horn, whom we use as a babysitter and also teaches 5th grade at our school, made the cake for Brady.  Isn't it precious?  He is on the A's baseball team this year, that is why she chose that as the cake.  She did a terrific job!

 The wind was blowing so hard we couldn't get the candles to light, so we had to bring all the kids inside for the lighting and blowing out of the candles.

 Time to mark him on the growth chart...

 And give him his birthday spankings...and a pinch to grow an inch. 

Brady went to sleep that night with a bed full of toys and his birthday crown on his head.  I think he had a good, full day.  Happy birthday, little man! We love you!
