Riley's Birthday

Riley's Birthday was spilt into three days. He had his party with our families on Sunday, then since Jeff was going to be out of town on Riley's Birthday, we let him open one present and then we went to Red Robin's for dinner. (Jeff ended up not going out of town though, but Riley was Okay with spreading his Birthday out.) The present Riley got to open on Monday was Kidz Bop Dance Party for the Wii!! Riley loves listening to Kidz Bop in his room & has dance parties in there all the time. =) He was super excited to try this out! At Red Robin's he got balloon ears and a sundae!

Yummy!

Then on his actual Birthday, I took peanut butter cookies to his class.

Since it was his Birthday, he got to sit in the teacher's rocker and read a story to the class.

He was pretty excited about that!

That night, Riley got to pick what he wanted to eat.

It was refried beans.

He is so funny. =)

I asked if he wanted a bean & cheese burrito.

Nope, just the beans by themselves.

(He had a chicken strip too.)

After dinner it was time to open more presents!!

Lily made him a card and then wanted to put it in a box to surprise him.

Notice the princess stickers.....

Zach made him a card too.

He read it to him:

Zach had drawn a funny comic on the back that had a person who said, "Waah! Another Birthday! Then another person said, "No! It's a good thing he's having a Birthday!"

I thought it was so funny. =)

Riley had asked for this moon dough several times:

But by the look on his face, he apparently forgot he wanted it.

Ha ha ha!

He did like these Mario PJ's though!

Then we had brownies and ice cream & they watched his new movie Megamind.

Riley said he had a GREAT Birthday!!

Here is a video of Riley rockin' out to his new Kidz Bop Wii game:

Happy Birthday Riley!

Riley turns six years old today. I can hardly believe he is that old. I think I say this each time one of my children has a birthday, but I really can't believe how fast they grow up.

Riley, our family would not be complete with out you.

You are so loving and caring, but you are ornery as sin too. =)

You are funny, and creative, and you have a huge imagination.

You love monsters, and scary things, and anything gross makes you crack up.

We love you so much!!

Happy Birthday to our funny little boy!

Angry Birds Party

We had Riley's Birthday Party today.

He will be 6 on Wednesday.

Have you heard of the game Angry Birds?

The boys are ADDICTED to it.

Riley really wanted an Angry Birds cake for his party.

So we asked Aunt Mary if she would make one.

The answer?

YES!

Mary took on this challenge & did a FABULOUS job!

In case you've never heard of Angry Birds, here is what they are:

There are Angry Birds:

and there are the evil pigs who steal the birds' eggs:

The birds fling themselves off of a slingshot to get to the pigs.

She made all of the pigs, birds, rocks, bricks, etc. by hand out of candy melts.

After we oohed and awed over the cake, we had a yummy lunch and then Riley opened his presents.

He got so many cool things!

Thanks everyone!!

Then it was time for the moment Ri had been waiting for ALL day!

CAKE!

He chose to eat the top layer of cake with the bird's nest and the king pig.

He had a great day and can't wait for his actual Birthday!
