J's 6th Birthday

As I've said before, this has been a big year for J so I really wanted him to have an extra special birthday. After much thought we decided to rent a bounce house for the yard! The whole thing was almost completely ruined by a tropical storm that came through the day before. Our neighbor lost a tree and there was flooding throughout the area. Fortunately we have a pretty long driveway and was able to relocate the party to the front of the house. It even rained on us a bit as we were getting set up. Then a half hour before the party was to start it was as if God literally turned the water off, parted the clouds and the sun came out in full force. I could not believe it. We dumped out the accumulated water and dried off the tables and raced to get it all together. It was a gorgeous day and the kids (and adults) had a blast!! I know I sound like a broken record at times, but I'm so happy and proud of my little man. He has worked so hard this year, overcome many obstacles, and we couldn't be more happy with how it all came together. Happy Birthday to my sweet J, we love you so much!

By the way, yes I made the cake, helmet and football pinata. I apparently have too much time on my hands. Maybe we should just have another baby since I've got all this time.... hahahahahahaha! Well there's your laugh for the day ;-)
