The weather ended up being beautiful. On Jan. 31, 2009 it was 70 degrees outside. Since Brayden was born we have never had a warm day for his birthday. It was a perfect day for a football party so we played football themed games outside. Here is Brayden throwing his Longhorn football! He's getting ready for a perfect throw.
We tossed the football through a hoop & everyone had alot of fun! I was surprised at how many of the kids had really good aim & several of them had pretty good throwing arms on them. Here is Savanah throwing the ball. If you look close you can see it heading toward the hoop.
I found this really large ball that looked like a helmet with the Longhorn logo on it. We tried to keep the ball going, but the wind didn't really want to cooperate on this game. They had fun anyway with the extra large ball.
We then played hot ball. They had to pass the ball (like a hot pot.) & when the music ended the person holding the ball was out. We had 17 kids who played the game & the little blonde girl named Abi (who likes Brayden) won!
When then finished up the games with pin the Horn on the Longhorn. (My best friend Cristina gave me this idea & our artist Bryan drew it for us). They had alot of fun. Brayden & Abi tied the game.
Brayden & all his friends had alot of fun at his party! I couldn't believe how much fun we had with 17 kids around. Being outside probably helped, but they really enjoyed all the games. We ended the party with presents, a cookie cake & fruit & veggies. Brayden said his birthday was better than Christmas! I am so happy that he enjoyed his special day. Here is a picture of all his friends that were at his party. We have really been blessed since we moved to Frisco. We have made alot of great friends in our homeschool group, at church, and in our neighborhood. We also get to be by family (& close to some of their cousins) & close to our best friends that we met when we first moved to Irving TX almost 8 years ago. Brayden was so excited he had so many friends to invite to his party! (Sierra & their cousin Brandon are missing from the picture)
I can't believe how time flies. I still remember the day that my beautiful redheaded boy was born. It seems like just yesterday. All my life I loved Redheads & always wanted a little redheaded boy. When he was born & the nurse announced that he had red hair I was so excited. Just thinking of the day he was born brings tears to my eyes. I am so blessed to have Brayden in my life. He is such a Sunshine! He is so happy and loves to make people laugh.
