Six times around the sun

Such a big boy. I don’t even know what to say. I blinked and he went from the chubbiest little dimpled baby to this boy. He’s definitely a little boy…my boy.

Evan facts:

Reading like a champ!

Still is the pickiest eater in the family

Adores his brother

Sings and dances like he owns the place

Puts others first

Loves Skylanders and Beyblades

Can smash a baseball

Has one wiggly tooth

Still has 2 deep dimples that get him way more than he deserves!

Evan is really into Skylanders…I mean really.  Birthday party theme was an easy choice this year. He picked to celebrate with his friends at Pump It Up. If you don’t have a Pump It Up around you, it is basically a large room with multiple inflatables. ie – wear these kids out!

Everyone had a blast bouncing. The octagon of death (my name, not theirs) probably had to most action. I don’t know what it is about little boys and wrestling, but man, I was nervous. I did good and just stood right outside of it making sure things didn’t get out of hand. I did have to refereeing some, but mostly the boys did great.

 

We were very lucky to be joined by a lot of friends and family! 

 

After all the jumping we celebrated with pizza and cake in a room all Skylanders! We had Skylanders masks, Skylanders banners, Skylanders cake, Skylanders plates, napkins, cups...you get the drift.

Evan had a Skylander’s cake. After scouring Pinterest, I decided to take the easy route and use the actual Skylanders for decorations. Evan picked out exactly which ones he wanted and how he wanted the scene to look. It won’t win any cake contest or be repinned on Pinterest, but he loved it. And that is what matters to me.

We celebrated with family later that day and the day after. I love when birthdays last a while! More cake for momma!
