Did You Say 9 1/2?

Okay, so after a few tries this winter, Brooks had an unusually scheduled birthday party in June. This Winter we had inclement weather followed by a sprained knee which kept pushing back Brooks' 9th Birthday Party. Brooks finally announced that he wanted to wait until summer and have a pool party.  This may be his only chance, right?

It turned out pretty terrific.  The boys began by breaking a sweat with some serious games of Knock Out on the basketball court. We cooled off with Gatorade and a dive contest for biggest splash, littlest splash, most creative and best style. A few sisters helped with judging. We had a tee shirt relay where the wet shirt is given to the next leg of your relay before they begin their lap. And finally, basketball games in the pool. This is a great group of boys and a huge blessing to Brooks' life. 

Instead of cake, Brooks had swamp pudding (Dirt Cake made with Oreos and pudding), Cheetos Cheese Puffs, grapes and Gatorade.  Party favors were dry packs of Gatorade.

Brooks, we love you with our whole hearts and are more grateful every day that God placed you in our lives in His perfect timing.  You are our delight and Your walk with Christ is evident as you mature in to a young man that is setting himself apart.  Hubba hubba Baby Bubba.
