I took this picture of the main living area.... |
We began the birthday with a party at Laser Tag, where they've added a rock climbing wall and a rope course. Corbin was definitely a super star, even unafraid of the heights of the rope course. (I apologize for the crummy pictures....somebody forgot her camera....)
On Sunday, we got together at Carrie and Spencer's (AGAIN! and btw, thank you for hosting our Sunday dinners until we are relocated!) for a family birthday party meal before the boys (Brad, Curt and Spencer) left to go to the Bronco game that evening.
He really enjoyed his gifts this year, with his set of talking parakeets at the top of the list (they repeat what you say in a "bird voice"), as well as his Ninja warrior costume, his boxing gloves and "wheelies" given to him by Meredith and family.
After a dinner of grilled burgers, homemade mac-n-cheese, (Rory commented to me on that with, "Woman, you just blew my mind" (on how delicious it was) chip and dip and corn on the cob, we enjoyed birthday cake. After the departure for the Bronco game, the activities included a puzzle (Meredith and Carrie's favorite), a trip to the park by the kids, followed by a soccer game (where Sophie commented about her Moms' ability to play goalie with "She's such an awesome soccer player. I just can't keep up with that woman!") and a discussion of "What- I -got- into- the -most -trouble- for- so -far- in -my- life". Interestingly, Gabi came up with answers quickly and won for the most answers, headed by "1. locking my babysitter out of the house for an hour, 2. spilling a whole bottle of baby shampoo on my carpet and ruining it, and 3. burning a hole in my carpet with my lamp." (AND, to date has never been allowed to have a lamp in her bedroom!)
Rory claimed that sneaking out of the house at a slumber party got him in the most trouble. Elijah decided that his attempt to "push a baby down the stairs" (he was only a toddler himself at the time) earned him the most trouble with a trip to the Police Station with his dad. Sophie declared that she didn't have anything BIG, just a lot of little things, like screaming while her mom was on the phone. Emma really had trouble with this, coming up with some pretty insignificant things. This whole conversation developed right after Grayson took off running down the block, only running faster when we yelled "stop!". Good thing his Mom is a runner or he could easily have been halfway to Cheyenne! She proceeded to spank him for it, upon which he laughed. Tried the time-out. Laughed again...Oh boy, he may someday top Gabi!
Happy Monday, everyone!
