Last night we had a birthday party for Owen. We had many friend and family members come over and we had a great time!!!
Owen loved all his awesome gifts!! He got lots of NERF gun gifts and the skateboard that he has wanted for a long time. He also finally got a Nintendo DS lite which he has wanted for years. We are pretty much a non video game family with the exception that Ethan has a DS and can play it once in a while. Owen has always wanted a DS and we have been hesitant-- we just do not like video games and the wasted lazy time it takes to play them. Anyway, the plane ride to and from Hawaii on Thursday helped make the decision to actually buy one for Owen. So grandma and papa Owen decided to buy a Nintendo DS (the little hand held one) for Owen for his birthday-- thanks :)
Owen also got a BMX race bike. Kevin use to race when he was a kid in Canada and he was very good. Kevin wanted to boys to also race so we got both the boys race BMX bikes for their birthdays-- don't tell Ethan-- his birthday is in August :)

Happy Birthday Owen!!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed that you've kept video games out of your boys lives. I HATE them. We finally took them away forever over a year ago and the change in J was profound!
Happy Birthday, Owen! I love that cake!

Can Rudy come over and play? Ha! I can tell that Rudy and Owen would have a blast together.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about video games, Rudy has a DS lite and I will not let him sit and play it all day, there is way too much to do outside. I also understand how the long flight to Hawaii helped make the decision to buy one for Owen.
Christy, truley, there is never a dull moment in your house! You guys have so much fun. Just think of the great memories your kids will have growing up in your exciting house hold.
Oh my gosh, I almost forgot, Happy Birthday Owen!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Owen had a GREAT b'day party!!! :) Way to go!!! We have a Wii and ABSOLUTELY LOVE it. It is so much fun for all of us together. It is really a lot different from regular video games. We just got the Wii fit and it is a BLAST!!! It really does help you work out!! That's the only video game that I have been glad we have. It's GREAT!!! Have a fantastic time in Hawaii.
