Haken turned 9 on June 13th and we pretty much celebrated all week. On the day before his birthday (Sunday) we had angel food cake with whipped cream and strawberries (his favorite).
Then, on his birthday we went to a splash pad in Urbana with some friends.
The kids had a blast there.
The kids were obsessed with bringing the Benny buckets of water and watching them tip them over or splash them out. They called him "King Benny." He thought it was pretty cool too.
Gracie loved filling up the bucket and dumping it on baby Olivia. I'm glad Olivia didn't mind it either.
That night was Monday night, which has become our "softball FHE night." All of daddy's softball team games are on Monday nights this summer. The team is comprised of a whole bunch of guys from our ward, so naturally all of the wives and kids show up making it a fun big event. We brought cupcakes to share with everyone to celebrate Haken's birthday that day. Too bad they lost.
Thank night he opened up his last birthday present from Grandma, mommy, and daddy. He was pretty excited to use them the next day at his golf lesson. Earlier in the week he also got golf shoes and new running shoes so he could run a 5k with me on the 4th of July.
A week later we took Haken out on his birthday date. He chose Red Lobster because he really loves seafood and wanted to try lobster for the first time. I think he really liked it. It's a good thing too, because his plate cost more than mine. Shad made sure to remind him that he was one lucky kid since he didn't try lobster until he was in his 20's!
Shad also very much enjoyed his crab legs. My chicken was pretty good I guess. Seafood just isn't my thing.
