It's Great to be EIGHT!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIDGER!  I cannot believe I have an eight year old!  This is such an exciting birthday because now Bridger can get baptized.  He has been counting down the days for at least six months.  I might have been too.

It's been a great eight years and  I am so happy to have such an incredible boy in my life.  Bridger has such a sweet, tender heart.  He has such an innate desire to be good.  I am so proud of him and I love him beyond words.

After last year, with my ER visit a few days before Bridger's birthday and having such a chaotic birthday party, we decided to take this years party to a bowling alley.  It was still crazy but at least our house is undamaged :)  The boys had a great time. 

Party guests: Bridger, Cole Rawlins, Ian Wilde, Taylor Starkey, Alex Nikonov, Ben Bennion, Matthew Weslak, and Lilly.

The party was so HOT that we almost burned down the bowling alley.  I made this awesome paper cupcake topper which went up in flames.  In my defense, I did think about that and I did try to move it up high enough that the candles wouldn't reach it.  It got a little exciting for a few minutes!

We had a special surprise for Bridger.  He has really been into the Blazers lately.  So that night we took him and Ian to a Blazers game.  It was so much fun to watch the boys get excited and cheer at the game.
