Brady's 9th Birthday!

On July 5th, we celebrated nine amazing years of this guy!!

He had been looking forward to his birthday for so long, and it finally came! We needed to use up all the helium left in our tank before the move, so the kids had fun blowing up as many balloons as they could!

We started the day with birthday donuts {of course!} followed by presents, lunch at Chili's, and fun at Dave & Busters!

Brady requested hot dogs & Kraft mac and cheese for dinner with chocolate funfetti cupcakes for dessert. After dinner we headed to a nearby playground with an open field to fly his helicopter a little more. It was a great night!

{Hadley picked lots of daisies & wanted to try her hand at a daisy crown}

{these balloons continued to provide lots of entertainment even when the helium ran out}

On more years than I'd like to admit Brady's summer birthday has fallen in the midst of a trip, a travel day, or been sandwiched in the midst of a PCS...which I guess is fitting since that's how Brady came into this world! We moved to Las Vegas when I was 38 weeks pregnant with him & we were still unpacking boxes when he made his debut. ;) We intentionally scheduled the dates of our movers this time around so they could come & go before his birthday, so we could be fully focused on celebrating! And I'm so glad we did--it was the best day! We love you, Brady!!!
