Finally... Birthday Party Pictures.

Here they are, in no particular order - pictures from Drake's Birthday Party at Grandma Cheri and Papa Tim's house:



Since it was a "Ninja Party" Grandma found a real live Ninja to come join the fun. However, I think the violent video games and television are getting to my son, because he just wanted to fight.





Atleast he was a good sport afterwords and took a picture with his cousins and Mr. Ninja.


Then we had cake.


Being the responsible parents we are, we decided to let him cut the cake himself. Actually, I do believe it was Grandma Cheri that handed him the knife. You'll notice she's nowhere to be seen in the picture. Smart move Grandma. Give the 6 year old a knife and run away.


Speaking of smart things, Mona and I got the boy his first BB gun for his birthday. Hopefully we can go out and shoot it this weekend if it warms up. No, I will not promise to take pictures and/or update the blog about it.

Edit: Missed this one in uploading pictures. Aunt Anna and Uncle Jared sent Drake the book "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" in the mail today. He loves it, thanks Aunt Anna and Uncle Jared!!

First time by himself.

Drake and I went out to my sister's Saturday the 29th to pop off a few rounds.

The first magazine (9 rounds) I helped him, the second 2 magazines he wanted to do it by himself.

He hit 2 cans out of the 18 rounds. I say not bad for his first time taking his time to aim. Kind of made me cry a bit.

This is the only picture since I didn't want to be too far away from him long enough to snap any more. Safety first.
