Zeke's 9th Birthday Party!

Zeke's birthday party landed on his actual birthday this year. We had a small party with family. I invited Zeke's friend Kaiden, but his mom felt more comfortable having Kaiden come over earlier in the week to have a one on one playdate instead. It was so fun and Zeke loved getting to have the afternoon with his friend. 

These boys have known each other since Kindergarten and even though they don't see each other everyday anymore they just pick up where they left off and have loads of fun together! 

Kaiden got Zeke a Technic LEGO set. I don't think we've ever gotten one of those before. It's where the LEGO build can actually move. It was super cool! 

This boy was so excited to open his presents. He asked over and over if it was time to open them. 

You might have noticed that I said everyone at the party was family and that is absolutely true to me. These friends have been friends for long they are no longer friends to me...they are my family through and through! 

Handsome boys! 

Ga-Ga will her eyes closed!!! :) 

Look at those beautiful faces!!! 

Love Papa & Ms. Ruth! 

These mighty men!!! 

Zeke was so sweet opening each of the card...basically tearing them apart, but then he read all the words aloud so everyone could hear. The Storer's gave him $20. It was hilarious because I think it was Josiah who wrote Zeck or Zek instead of Zeke on the card. 

Papa and Ruth had just gotten back from Leavenworth. They got Zeke's present over there. 

They got this hilarious Jester hat. The cool thing about it is it's adjustable so it can fit a kids head or an adults head. They also got his these roach clips...literally cockroach clips. I'll talk more about those later. 

The Kuch's got Zeke a dinosaur LEGO kit. He already has this one so the next day he took it with him to the LEGO store when he went with Ga-Ga & Pa and exchanged it and used the money to help him get a LEGO set he didn't have. It was super sweet that they knew he likes LEGO and he for sure loves dinosaurs so it was definitely an appropriate choice! On top of getting Zeke LEGO sets Ga-Ga & Pa gave him $9 in cash! 

Zeke's siblings all chipped in together and I helped them too. He got $ and presents.

This was his BIG gift. He's wanted this Dino Nerf Gun for a while. He actually ended up using the money he got from his birthday to buy the other guns in the DinoSquad series. They are super fun! 

I knew that Zeke would love to have his very own box of Nutty Bars! Jackson also picked out a super cool Hot Wheels car that with in the shape of a dinosaur. 

My sweet 9 year old boy! 

I hope all your wishes come true my sweet boy! 

As for the roach clips...

I keep finding them everywhere! 

These boys are just trying to give their Mama a heart attack!
