Okay, Okay, He's Seven

Gabe's 7th birthday started of with Daddy making him pancakes & bacon, Then Gabe and Mommy went out to lunch, little did he know that there was a few extra people to meet him to share his big day. We had a surprise party for him at his favorite restaurant. Kati, Chelsey & Caleb came all the way from ONU to surprise Gabe. He was so excited to see them all there.

He got a really cool volcano from Dave and Kelly and lots of sweets from Chelsey and Kati. He pretty much loved the volcano as if you couldn't tell.

Kumo's is such a great place to go. This was my first time there as Gabe has always gone with Kelly for lunch when I'm working. I loved watching Gabe's excitement as the guy cooked everything right in front of you.

He made his own Volcano out of onions which was pretty sweet. Gabe is going to see if the one he got can do this!

After the chef had cooked everything up he started throwing Broccoli at Gabe for him to catch in his mouth like popcorn. Gabe got one of them and amazingly I got it on camera.

Then it was time for the pros. Kati and Chelsey were both pretty amazing at doing this. They both ended up with a big ole' mouth full!

I love how Caleb is looking at Chelsey like "what the heck are you doing Auntie Chel?"

Time for Happy Birthday Song and a little treat.

Part Two of Birthday fun we took Gabe to Airway Lanes to have some fun with Brothers and Sister. The weather ended up being perfect! Gabe wanted to ride the Go Karts with his big brother Tony and being the good big brother that he is Tony was happy to have a ride along. After Go Karts we headed inside so that the kids could play in the Arcade. The kids gave all of there tickets to Gabe and he was able to get a little stuffed mouse.
After the arcade Mom, Gabe & Shenira took a spin on the bumper boats. This was so much fun. I loved watching Gabe's smile every time he hit Shenira or I.
Part Three of Birthday day fun was a walk down to feed the fish, a stop to Speedway for a slushy & then to the Park for the best underdogs and fun on the Monkey bars.
On our way home from the park John and the kids were looking at some fish and I couldn't resist getting this photo.
This is our big seven year old. Gabe, Mom and Dad love you so much and we are so glad that you had such a good time on your birthday. You are growing so fast and I'm amazed at how big you are. I love you heart and the way that you always want to help and serve others. Love you little man. Love, Mom
