Happy Birthday to my one and only, and therefore very favorite, son!
10 Years Old!!
The day started out with a gymnastics workout but seeing how much he loves those teammates and coaches of his, I don't think he minded a bit. Afterwards we took him and Davis (cousin and teammate) to Airborne Trampoline Arena. The past two birthdays have seen him tricking out at Jump On It. As his birthday came closer, there was a request for a third year. But a few months ago this new Airborne place opened...and not only was it slightly less of a drive but also had foam pits. {Oh the joy!}
By the end of the allotted two hours, Brandon and Davis had worked up a good appetite. Salt City Burger was the restaurant of choice. Gourmet hamburgers and sweet potato fries were enjoyed by all while Brandon opened up his presents.
Gifts included (many of which specifically requested):
*the new 39 Clues book
*a six pack of creme soda
*Mod Nation Racers...a game for the PS3
*another season of MacGyver on DVD
*a new outfit he can wear to gymnastics
*a new belt "just like Dad's!"
*a yellow bouncy ball "like the ones they have at school."
AND....drumroll please....
*A pair of his very own, children sized..but just like Dad's, Vibram Five Finger shoes!! He's been wishing for some for years but Vibram did not make a pair in his size. Can you imagine how excited Bryan and I were when we heard that a new line of kids sizes were coming out a couple of weeks before his birthday??
An harmony filled rendition of the Happy Birthday song and 10 flaming candles atop his oreo cake rounded out the happy day.

I'm so glad he had a good day, sounds like fun.
Sarah, you are such a cute mom. These are memories that will last him forever.
Happy Birthday Brandon. We sure love you!
Davis had a great time. Brandon, you've got better shoes than I do now!!
Shoes, yeah yeah yeah...but MacGuyver!!?! You are the coolest mom ever, and I'm so proud of Brandon for his good taste that this is not his first season on dvd. Rock on!!!
Oh, yes, we have season(s), in the plural, of MacGyver. After this latest birthday we have EVERY SINGLE SEASON. Plus the made for TV movies that came out after the series was discontinued. In the mood for a MacGyver marathon?
Happy birthday Brandon! I can't wait to see him in those shoes. :)
