You Made it to 6!


Hyrum, all boy, all the time!
Party #3

Hyrum's birthday has lasted for days

This cake honors his love of Kindergarten (although he doesn't take the bus...there are no buses with the budget cuts)

We had a few people over for cake and pizza. We love Hyrum!


Emma's gift to Hyrum was to take he and a few friends (cousin Jacob, and Logan) to the Children's Museum for his friend's party.
Party #2

Our party was quite and adventure. First, we were stuck on the freeway for an hour because a powerline was across all lanes. All traffic was required to exit. The boys were getting restless in the van. We broke into the party snacks before arriving at the museum.

Mom and Dad can play too. Notice that Mari is not here...Thank you Mom for tending so we could keep track of the boys.

Emma, thank you for the party for your brother! What a sweet girl!
She won the Museum pass from the Science Fair.


Cowboys


Does this scare you? Only a few more years until these are real drivers!


The helicopter was cool!

By the time we were finished with the museum, we were right in the middle of rush hour traffic so we decided to take the boys to dinner instead. Ben was starving so we didn't give them the option to choose the restaurant (we didn't want McDonald's). We went to Chili's instead.


Unfortunately, the boys were still excited from the museum so our group's volume was LOUD!
They put us at the farthest table in the deepest corner. No one else was around us.
(Hyrum IS smiling, can you tell?)


What an adventure! This strange birthday party lasted from 2:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m
(It was only planned until 5:30 p.m.)



Party #1

Last Friday Hyrum told his teacher that it was his birthday. His teacher srambled to throw together a birthday gift from the class. She found a posterboard, folded it in half, wrote 'Happy Birthday Hyrum' on the front and had the class sign it. Hyrum was elated!

After school, Hyrum came to the van beaming, "Look what my class made me!"
"But Hyrum" I said, "It's not your birthday!"

"I know" he said, shrugging his shoulders.

I bet his teacher was really surprised when, 4 days later, he brought in birthday treats...on his ACTUAL birthday.
