Matthew's Party

Matthew has been pretty excited about his birthday for a while. He would invite anyone he talked to over to his house to celebrate his birthday. This included cashiers at the store, the whole primary, neighbors etc. Finally Saturday we were able to celebrate his birthday by going to Chuck E. Cheese's for Matthew's birthday party. Josh and Daniel had a lot of fun Sarah not so much. She cried at anything that made noise--meaning she was screaming most of the time. The highlight of Matthew's day was finally getting his Taylor Swift CD. We listened to it all the way home (from Sandy) and all the rest of the day. We even got awakened by it this morning at 6:30 am after he woke up and turned the radio on blaring loud. The bad thing is he will only listen to two songs on the whole CD and after all day yesterday and all morning this morning I had had about enough. Aaron ended up converting the CD to an MP3 format so he could listen on a small MP3 player we had laying around with headphones. That gave us a little break from Taylor Swift.

Aaron finished Matthew's other present late Friday night with G T's help. Thanks Dad! They wired up a light board with switches so Matthew could flip the lights on and off all he wanted. That was a pretty big hit as well. So once we set him up with the Taylor Swift CD and the light board he should be occupied for a few minutes at least.

He is excited to be 8 and to get baptized in a few weeks. His cake was the number eight, but he didn't even notice because he was so excited to blow out the candles. He is a funny boy!
