Kade's 6th Birthday

Kade had his 6th birthday last week and was so PROUD to be 6!  He told grocery store checkout ladies, waitress' and anyone we met that he turned 6 that very day.  We were up in Driggs for the week at my parents and got to have a special birthday celebrating with them. Grandma played board games with Kade and Grandpa took him to town for ice cream and let him pick out a toy.   When Rich got home on Friday the partying started again.  We went to IHOP for dinner - my boys favorite!  Then went and picked out a new bike for Kade.  He loves the color red and was so excited to get this bike and walk it through the store to the check out.  He had lots of people tell him what a nice looking bike he was getting and he loved that people noticed.

The party continued on Saturday when we took Kade and Ty and their cousin Riley to Monsters vs Aliens.  Kade was SO excited to go and had been looking forward to it all week.  We don't go to movies very often and were shocked at how expensive it was, plus there was an additional $3.50 charge per ticket for the 3D glasses you need to watch the movie.  $52.00 later - we were all in the movie.  It was cute - but NOT $52.00 cute!

He was so good to wait until Friday to open his presents and was so excited to get some new nintendo games and a new orange controller.  We LOVE having a nintendo game cube.  We got it free from Rich's brother and we can buy all the cool games that his friends have for SO cheap!  The video at the bottom is a Donkey Kong game that you have to bang on the bongos and clap to play it.  It is a big hit and cost $12.00 for the game and the bongos. :)

Happy Birthday Kade- You are such a sweet kid. That donkey kong game looked AWESOME. I'm glad you were able to find a bike that worked and bonus that he liked it so much . Me and Caleb were both shocked at the movie ticket price... That it crazy that they can charge so much for a movie and then tack on the charge of the glasses you NEED to even watch it. Was it cute? Thanks for your comments on my blog... I thank you are an exceptional sister. You are fun to be around and are such a good person. I don't think I've ever ever heard you say a mean thing about anyone.. that's a good trait to have. Love ya
