My not-so-little boy!
Wow! I can't believe he's seven. Some days it seems like yesterday that he was a 7lb bundle of screaming joy and now look at him! Today is Colton's actual birthday, but the celebrating started on Friday night with 20 boys coming over for a Clone Wars party. Yes, star wars again this year. Since last year was a little over the top, we settled for pizza and a movie this go around. I did try my best to create a lightsaber cake and I think it turned out pretty great! There was enough cake to feed an army, but who doesn't like leftover cake! 
Colton's big gift from us was a new bike. He hasn't had a bike to ride for quite a few months since he's grown so much. He's had to turn down bike rides with friends for too long. Joel extended Colton's old bike as far as it would go last spring and it still hurt Colton's knees to ride, so that's when Daddy came to the rescue and started researching bikes. No way was he going to go to Academy and buy a bike that he'll just outgrow. No, he had to go to a bike shop and get one that he can use forever! "It will grow with him, don't worry."
We celebrated with a family party yesterday and ate a little more of the massive lightsaber. Both sets of Grandma's and Grandpa's, Aunt Ashli, Uncle Zane, Keegan, Konnor, Uncle Scott, and Cousin Abe came over. A big thanks to Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Lance and their kiddos for remembering Colton's big day all the way from Oregon! Everyday when he takes care of his new hippo webkin he'll think of you! We also celebrated Grandpa Stanley's 70th birthday. What a milestone!

Happy Birthday Colton! We love you and miss you like crazy. It looks like your party was awesome. Can't wait to see you soon...
Fun cake! I can't believe he's 7 already! Time is going way too fast!
The cake turned out amazing!! Great job, girl!
It's hard to believe our kids are getting so old! Madison will be 9 on her next birthday. Mitch and I totally freaked out when we realized that fact. Looks like Colton had a great party. You are a good mom to invite 20 little boys to your house.
