Not ONE but TWO Birthday Parties for Bryant!

Well, better late than never in posting about Bryant's birthday parties!

Bryant started out with a birthday celebration at his new school. It was only his second day of school... so we went all out... I figured he could make new friends over PowerRanger Cupcakes, Capri Sun Juices and super cool Party Favors!

Here's Bryant's Grandma (my mom). She helped out at his school party. I was still sick so she gladly volunteered to help. Good thing she was visiting from Portland.

Bryant's no dummy... he knows that he should serve the ladies first! He's all about being a gentleman!

Here's his class. Notice there are only 3 boys in the whole class. According to Bryant, the boy in the blue superman sweatshirt is a "real troublemaker." Now that's probably the pot calling the kettle black!

Bryant's other birthday party... the REAL birthday party was at Pump It Up. We jumped, climbed, slid and bounced our way through Bryant's birthday party. Pump It Up, voted “Boise's Best Place to Have a Birthday Party,” features giant, custom designed, fun-filled, interactive inflatable play structures. At Pump It Up we got to jump into our own private arenas filled with gigantically fun inflatables. They have bounce houses, slides, obstacles courses and more.

It's super expensive... especially since we rented out the whole place for Bryant's birthday... but it is well worth every cent we paid. Especially because the adults had more fun than the kids.

This is the 20ft inflatable slide. The picture doesn't even do it justice. You can see Teri, Kara, Cassy and Shyanne, sliding down the slide.

Now here is where the fun begins!

Us adults were totally obsessed with the inflatable boxing ring. I challenged my sister to a match. Here we are duking it out. I want you to notice the blue head gear falling to the floor. That's mine. Suzi knocked me in the head so hard that it sent my head gear flying!

Here we are again. I can't tell if I'm loosing or winning at this point. In the end I think it was a tie.

Now, Zac thought he was going to be a real stud in the boxing ring. Here he is saying to our brother in law, Austin, "Bring it On"...

Now.... notice Zac's in the corner being beaten down. I don't think he was quite the stud he thought he was going to be. But I love him anyway!

And we really did let the kids box too. Here are Krystel and Riley duking it out. Notice how sweaty Riley is. It's hard hard work.

One of my few pictures of Bryant. He was sitting in the inflatable throne to open his presents.
I have to admit that I was a horrible horrible mother because I was so busy playing that I didn't get hardly any pictures. Hopefully my mother and all my great friends got some good ones.
