Brody's 5th Birthday

Brody chose an Iron Man theme to celebrate his 5th birthday this year. Chris set up an elaborate "Iron Man Training Center" which included army crawling under a canvas tarp, target practice with velcro balls, bouncy ball hopping through flags, soccer kick into a goal, and shooting out fire with a water gun (just candles folks). I failed as the photographer of the event. I didn't even get a picture of the birthday boy "training". Maybe because I was corralling 12 kids, including a 1 year old (that would be Blakey-boy).

Here is Chase shooting the water gun. Here we are at the table eating hot dogs, chips, and fruit.

Brody's friends included: Seth, Chase, Paul, Gavin, Jude, Lucas, Cross, Calvin, Rhett, and Ava.

Here is a video of the birthday song blowing out of the candles. After you watch Brody, watch the friend on his right. It made me chuckle.

It was a great party thanks to Chris. He is a fabulous Dad. I appreciate all the effort he makes to be close to our kids and raise them with love and compassion. Brody had a great time and he felt really special.
