The Birthday Parties.....

This is the first year we've had a "kid" party for Colton's birthday. Now that he's in kindergarten, he has new friends and we figured this is the appropriate age to start this tradition.
Of all the ideas we came up with for what to do for the party, he picked bowling! We figured that was easy enough. So last Saturday, the were 5 little dudes whoopin' it up at the local bowling alley - along with about 40 other kids with the same idea in mind. Have you ever seen a group of young boys play together? Let's just say that they don't change much from age 6 to age 30! ;) There was a lot of chest bumping, high fiving, running around and diving. The didn't sit still once - oh wait, I take that back....they were pretty quiet as the shoved birthday cake in their mouths! We had a family party on Sunday. Of course it included a few rounds of Guitar Hero!
I'm pretty sure that Colton thinks your birthday lasts about a week!
P.S. Did you notice that the bottom picture was after a much needed haircut?
