Happy Birthday Kyson!

Kyson LOVES birthday parties, so when it came time for his own, he was so excited it's all he talked about for weeks.  Last year, I was heart-broken when we invited 25+ kids to his party and I think only 10-12 showed up.  No one RSVPed so we didn't know how many to plan for.  This year, we didn't get very many RSVPs either and only invited 20.  Of the 20 invited, 18 attended.  Even his teacher came to support the kids. Kyson was soo excited about that.

We reserved a birthday party at a place called Black Diamond Gym.  It's a gym for gymnastics, martial arts, and dance.  We found out they did birthday parties because he was invited to one at this place.  He loved it.  The thing that I liked about it was there were people who were with the kids to make sure everything they did was safe, unlike Airborne or those other trampoline parks.  They started by jumping on trampolines into a pit.  Then they moved over to a flat mat where they set up all sorts of "obstacles" and made a little obstacle course for the kids.  The third place they went to was getting a running start and jumping into the pit with tricks, and lastly they sat on the floor and played a few games.  All of the kids seemed to love it,

Opening presents wasn't as crazy as last year either.  He opened the presents as the kids gave them to him instead of being smothered to death by each of the kids, and from the parent view only being able to see the heads of the kids.  We ate bug cupcakes that had a gummy worm and "dirt" on each one, and overall, it went so smoothly.  Who would have guessed a birthday party with 20 kids would be easy.

It's hard to believe my little man is six years old.  He has the height of an 8-year-old, but the maturity of a 5-year-old.

His favorite things to do: ride his bike, look for bugs in the dirt, and go to Bear Lake
