Happy 6th Birthday Palmer

Palmer turned 6 yesterday. Josh took the day off and it was so fun! We started the day with presents and a special breakfast of Palmer's choosing (egg casserole).
Hunter has insisted on wearing sunglasses around lately and Palmer let him wear one of his new biker gloves to bed. He woke up a seriously cool dude.
Presents! Palmer saw his presents in my closet the day before his birthday (bummer). He didn't want us to know he has seen anything, but Josh guessed it when he started talking about "Nerd" footballs. I am guessing that is what it looks like when you read it really fast.
The commercial for "Bendaroos" was on all Summer. Palmer wanted these so badly that he memorized the commercial and came and gave it to me. He let me know that you had to be "18 or older to call." I found them at Walmart and thought he would be so excited about them...well I hope eventually he will be.
The scooter was a huge hit. The other boys "borrowed" some of the neighborhood boys scooters and they all had a great time. Palmer wrecked within the first few minutes, thank goodness for Grandma Happy's knee and elbow pads!
Chuck E Cheeses is our tradition. Palmer was so excited to go! We went to the one in Layton that is so much nicer than the one in Sandy. So many toys so little time!
Grandma Ann met us at Chuck E Cheeses. She gave Palmer the greatest remote control jeep. He as well as Lincoln and Hunter have been obsessed with it and already run out one set of batteries! Thanks Grandma!
This is the photo booth that the boys spent most of their time in. It would take their pictures and then give you an ID badge. They each came home with about 4. I looked over and Lincoln was flexing his muscles into the camera. I showed Josh and was ready to take the picture when we were caught and he changed his pose. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen Lincoln do, I am sad I ruined the moment.
I love ski ball. Josh got the perfect picture of me getting in the 10,000 hole! Yes- I do have some serious skills:)
Palmer was so happy to have the girls that we babysit over for his birthday. We set up our little table outside on the lawn and BBQed hotdogs. Then had cake and ice cream. I think it was a good birthday.
We were planning on doing cupcakes for Palmer's actual birthday, but I forgot that So Cupcake is closed on Mondays. On our way home from Layton we decided to check out Parsons bakery in Bountiful since Josh loves their donuts. I am so glad we did. We found this way cute cake that was delicious.
It took about 4 tries, but he got the candles out (give him a break, two cakes in 2 days, that is a lot of blowing :)

Can you believe how fast they grow up? How have you been? I send my little girl to preschool on the 9th then I'll only have one home for a couple hours a day. Next year I will send her to kindergarten! Crazy!
