Birthday BOY!

On Sunday Kace turned SEVEN years old. I can't believe it. It means I am getting OLD. Kace had a birthday party this year and was REALLY excited (understatement). We started his birthday on the Wedesday before his birthday with Grandma and Grandpa Jones coming over for a birthday dinner and his soccer game (they were going to PA to visit Mel and were going to be gone on his actual day so we celebrated early. We had a good time and Kace loved having them come to his game.
His actual bday was on a Sunday and turned out to be the same day as our primary program. So Grandma and Grandpa Andrew, Brandon and Chelsea, and great-grandma Andrew came to church with us. Another fun dinner followed (Cortney showed up in time for the dinner....go figure :) )




The day he was most excited for was Monday because that was the day of his birthday party with all his friends. He wanted an under the sea party, but we kind of altered it a bit. First we played, "don't eat pete". I loved playing this game at parties when I was a kid and was pleasantly surprised at how much fun they had playing it too.

We then pretended we were pirates and went on a treasure hunt for their buried treasure (i.e. treat bags). When Nate turned 8 he did this same activity for his birthday party and Kace has always wanted to do one. We gave them about seven clues and thankfully the rain stopped just in time so they could go outside (I was praying).

Then came the fishing adventure. We filled up a little plastic kiddie pool and got a bunch of little planter fish in it. The kids got to 'catch' the fish with their hands to take home (sorry moms! :) ) They LOVED this.

Kace is such a joy to have in our family. He is always the peacemaker and loves to make people laugh. He can be such a goof ball. His favorite color is blue and his favorite food is macaroni and cheese. He likes to play soccer, baseball and basketball and is very very excited for when he is old enough to play football. He loves to go camping and fishing. We LOVE our Kace!
