Isaac is 8!

This past weekend we celebrated Isaac's 8th birthday! He had 8 of his friends over to help him celebrate...Star Wars style! So sorry for the extremely cluttered background (our garage), but since it rained through the entire party, we made do with the garage (aka a big open space for some games). We started off with some coloring pages (it is quite amazing how many Star Wars coloring pages you can find online). Next we played a blindfold game that divided the boys into teams (the Empire vs. the Rebellion) and they had to "shoot down" each other's ships on the star map. After that, we headed into the garage to continue our "jedi training" with some throwing practice. The boys drew targets with chalk on the cement then took turns tossing beanbags onto the targets. CJ's Jabba, worth 200 points! Gavin's Darth Vader, worth 3000 (yeah, the points were totally random). Next was a ring toss (glow-in-the-dark bracelets) onto light sabers (glow-up swords). This actually proved quite a challenge for 7 and 8 year old boys.



After all that fun in the garage, we went inside for presents and then cake! Isaac requested a cake shaped like Yoda's head. This is what Randy came up with! My husband is so creative!



Happy Birthday Isaac! To finish off the celebrations we are going to The 'Ol Pasketti Shop (as Isaac refers to it) for a family dinner tonight. We are so thankful to be able to celebrate yet another year with Isaac. He definitely keeps us on our toes (or on our knees...depending on the day), and we wouldn't change one bit of it all! We love you Isaac!
