Baseball Birthday

My youngest grandson, Wil, (youngest for at least a few more weeks until our new little boy is born) is turning 5. He had his birthday party today and it was all about baseball for this little guy. He just started kindergarten, loves it, but says he can't remember what he does there. He knows a lot about baseball (just ask him), and shows signs of being a math whiz.


He played some baseball.


He had a Colorado Rockies cake.

 
 
Making a wish before you blow out the candle takes some thought,


but you know when you got it right.

There were lots of cousins and friends there.

It took some strong arms to get these 2 two year olds to hold still for a picture.


Even Jared was a little camera shy after he tried to catch a baseball with his nose.
(It didn't bleed for long)


The baseball pinata was a bit "hit" with everyone.

That party looks like a great HIT (o: My oldest son's BD is in Oct. and every year he wanted a football party. Worked out good. Have boys over to the neighborhood park and let them all play football. Feed them and that's it (o:

  10. Nothing beats a young person's birthday party, the sheer anticipation and joy of it all, showing them how excited WE were that someone so special was born into our particular family. And these theme parties geared to their interests are a delight - my 4yr old grandson STILL talks about his batman part a year ago! I know Wil will also remember this one - a belated happy birthday, dude!

  12. The birthday party looks like a great time. Love the pinata.

    Not sure how you stood no a/c last week - it was hot here!

    I know what you mean about typos.

    I know I wouldn't get my checkbook out to preserve the GWTW dresses, but also hope they are saved.

    I have not been on the computer for about 10 days, been way to hectic at my house, so I am catching up this afternoon.

  16. Must be fun to have a birthday for a grandson. The neighborhood looks less green than ours in southern California. No palm trees!
