Jalen's 7th Birthday

This weekend we celebrated Jalen's 7th Birthday ... with a first time at home birthday party for him, just like for Nyla a few weeks ago. Before AZ, we'd celebrate at a venue like a Chuck E Cheese or Pump It Up, etc.... but we don't have those options here, so a house birthday party is really not that bad. And momma's getting better and better with the preparations, etc...

So all in all it was a hit. Jalen had fun, Nyla had her friend, Sofia, all weekend ... and the kids seemed all happy having a blast whether jumping on the trampoline, swimming, playing, or on the wii ... and for the sleepover, they had movie night ... Transformers.

Happy Jalen - he got a remote control truck from his TeeTee Nicky :)
Jalen's into wrestling now .... the boys (this one and the big one :) ... watch wrestling lately every Monday night together .... so I figured for his birthday cake decoration he gets to have 2 wrestlers .... he liked it!
His birthday gang: Terrance, David, J-man, Darnell and Dominic!
At the birthday table!
One thing we traditionally do after the birthday song is ... eat cake of course, and get as dirty on our face with cake as possible :) ... lol .... just as long as momma's floors stay clean ... lol



Kids had a sleep over .... first thing they did Sunday morning after waking up was jumping on a trampoline .... it truly was a beautiful day!
My precious butterfly!!!
Jalen and his friends on the trampoline .... it was too hot for shirts ..... lol ...
Nyla and Sofia doing art work ... they get along so well ... were together for well over 24 hrs and never once did they fight or not get along ... and they did everything together!!! So precious!!!

And to top off the event .... Jalen lost a tooth ... lol ... he pulled it on his own.

We had a great birthday weekend! It has only been about 2 weeks since Jalen has started in his new school and I was worried about having friends in time for his birthday party. My worries were in vain, this boy had made friends quickly and his friends came .... and this momma was so happy! We as parents can give them a cake, gifts, etc..... but one thing we cannot so easily is friends for a birthday party .... And he had it all!!! Sunday night he went to bed a happy boy!!! Thank you Lord for a great, successful birthday weekend. Please always keep my 6 and 7 year old safe and may they always be blessed!!!
