Happy 7th Birthday Brandon!

I think the most exciting thing for Brandon about his 7th birthday was that he finally doesn't have to sit in a car seat anymore. He was very excited about that. And the fact that Kathleen is 8 and has 8 letters in her name, Brandon is 7 and has 7 letters in his name and Cody is 4 and has 4 letters in his name. Could life get any better?

He had a presentation at his school and was sooo cute giving it. He worked very hard on his firefly project.
It also happened to be "hat" day on his birthday so he decided to wear his Rockies hat.
He couldn't decide what he liked better, the money, or the confetti in his card from Grandma and Grandpa.
What do you think a 7-year-old would request if you told him that he could have anything he wanted for his birthday dinner? No, not pizza. Steak, shrimp, pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) and soda, specifically Fresca and Cherry 7-Up.

We took him to build-a-bear to get an outfit for his "Army" bear. He was so excited about his maiden voyage without a booster seat.
Oh baby, a BSU bear! Even better than the Darth Vader one he almost got.
He wanted homemade brownie bites for his cake. Yeah...not the easiest thing to get out of a pan.
Brandon loved the Lego Quidditch Harry Potter set he got from Grammy and Pompa.
A Beyblade birthday cake. I don't have real cake skills, so you get what you get.
Brandon had his party at Monkey Bizness. He said that was all he wanted for his birthday this year.

The only moment the entire time that the kids were quiet.


Brandon was a rock climbing wizard. Although for anyone who knows him, this probably doesn't come as a surprise.




Happy birthday my sweet 7-year-old boy!
