Happy 7th Birthday Quentin!

We Celebrated Quentin's 7th birthday at Chuck E. Cheeses and he had a blast. There were plenty of games and fun to keep them entertained for hours and it did. We started off playing games and having fun then ate, opened presents, and soon back to more games. The kids enjoyed winning lots of tickets and feeding them to the "ticket eater" and redeeming them for prizes. Mazes, skee ball, air hockey, rocket booster rides, the options were endless and the memories were priceless. Quentin enjoyed his party for the most part, but played the shy card when it came to starring in his own video. Our hostess was nice and gave him some of the flying tickets even though he didn't participate.

The girls had tons of fun singing and dancing! Quentin was a little shy in his birthday video with Chuck E. Cheese, but the girls stepped right in to show him how it was done. They walked in the Konga line, jumped, danced, and clapped their hands to the beat. They had no problem picking up the flying tickets that were thrown out for the kids to share. They loved seeing Chuck E. and Kierstyn has taken over Quentin's plush Chuck E. for her own. Towards the end they got a little tired, but remained happy for the most part.

Zachery had tons of fun, but started off by just putting a token in, playing for a little while, and leaving while the game was still going. Once we explained to him that he had to finish the games so he could get his tickets, he did just fine. He loved to have his pictures taken and drawn with the picture takers that were there. He really got a kick out of the air hockey table, but said "look mom, I'm playing Ice hockey." He was so excited with playing the games that when it was time to eat, he ate as fast as possible and ran straight for the games.

Quentin's cousins Aria, Emilee, and Amanda (not pictured) came to his party to help celebrate and have fun. I think Amanda said that she racked up over 600 tickets and plus had some at home that she was saving. That's impressive! The girls and I combined were lucky to get 100, so she kicked our butt up and down the block :) Aria said she had a blast and was glad that Quentin invited her. They are only 11 months apart, so they are usually joined at the hip. Amanda and Emilee seemed to enjoy taking the girls around to play any chance that the girls would give them. Over all I think everyone had fun and I thank everyone who came for sharing in our memories! Also thanks to Brandi and Dan (my sister and brother-in-law) for coming and acting like kids with the rest of us!

Happy Birthday to my big boy!
