Jakes 8th Birthday Party

Yes...tomorrow the 17th, Jake turns 8! Hard to believe! Mom was only one day away from death when Cam turned 10...so that is why there is not a big todoo on here about his birthday...but I will post pictures of both of them as babies...and both of them now in a few days. But, first I wanted to show you some of the pictures from our party last night! They had a blast! Jake picked a Star Wars party...and on his invitations he told everyone to bring their nerf guns because they were going to have "Star fights"! What fun! Even Jeff got into it...Tini and Matt came too and Matt was very into it. Then when the dad's showed up to pick everyone up...THE DADS got into it! I asked one dad, 'Don't you have somewhere else you are supposed to be?' (I know him well enough), and he said, "No one told us we were going to have Star Wars Nerf battles!" The house got REALLY loud once the dad's showed up! We got Jake a Bazooka Nerf gun for his birthday and that puppy is AWESOME! Even I fought over it! It is very cool and makes a very cool POOF sound! Hard to explain! Anyway....daddy got into it and walked around the house as "Iron Man"...he even sang the "Iron Man" song!

Here is Jake getting his Bazooka....

Here is Jake's Star Wars cake. I made the cake...Jeff decorated it.

Here is Baby Storm Trooper...or Clone Trooper...I will be honest, I have no idea....and little miss whatever Trooper!

They played Nerf Wars in the house...mostly in the dark. We stayed in the living room with Major where it was safe...but once in awhile it would come to us...here is Darth Vader invading our quiet space with Tini looking on....Here is Major getting ready to shoot MaKenna with the help of Matt...but look at Major's face. He is actually looking at Daddy Darth Vader...it kinda spooked him!There's Jake with his Bazooka. Cousin Kayla is in the picture too. Off they go!!!We really all had a great time!!! We need to have more interactive parties like that in the future!! Like I said, even the adults got into it! Some day I'll have to get a babysitter and invite a bunch of adults over and play nerf wars!!! What fun!!! I am a big kid at heart!!!!
