We had Brody's birthday celebration a little early! Dustin now works every other weekend with his 8 days on, 6 days off work rotation. Also, we had a wedding to attend on the actual date of Brody's birthday, so rather than squeezing all the action in to just a couple of days, we opted to spread it over two weekends!
Mr Gum-chewer-Daner was just fine with that idea!
We rented another bouncy house for our backyard this year, and it was a hit.
The only one available, an obstacle course, still served its purpose for our jumping needs.
Sami & Connor came early to get in some extra jumping!
Time for a drink break before any guests even got there!
Carter
Collin
Alexa, Harley, & Brody
Serious visiting, while making sure nobody cracked open their noggin on the bouncy house.

Catching himself with his new butterfly net!
Now, opening a gift from Aunt Bubba.....
every time she asks what the boys want for a gift, I tell her that they really only want an iPad....
So she got Brody the next best thing....'Goodnight iPad'....a book!
With 'Smart Pj's'
I wish I had gotten a better picture, but they are laying in the package Brody is touching with his left hand. They are white pajamas with different combinations of blue and green dots all over the pajamas.
You download an app on your phone, then scan one of the dot combinations.
Your phone then plays a story triggered by the dot pattern!
They are SOOO COOOL!!!!!
New cape/masks sets from Granny & Gramps!
Dang sticky tape!
Awww, thanks for 'Wreck-It Ralph', Blessum family
Oops!!! Dane's cows were gettin' out!!!
New tools, complete with a toolbelt for easy access while working about the house and yard!
More farm machinery!

Happy birthday to me!
He may have been directing the 'Happy Birthday' song, but I'm not sure!

My sad-looking decoration, which didn't withstand the breezy outdoors very well!
It's since been moved indoors across the living room picture window and looks much better there!

Anybody interested in a treat bag?
