Noah’s Birthday

Noah turned four years old on Saturday, and he’s been talking about it for weeks now. He thinks he’s a pretty big boy now. We went to Incredible Pizza for his birthday for lunch and then he opened his presents from us in the afternoon. That night we had his birthday cake – chocolate chip, his favorite – and ice cream. It was a big day for him, and he really enjoyed it. Both Shelby and him are growing up so fast, and it’s fun to see how much they are changing and become more independent.

Me and the kids with Noah’s new Spiderman scooter. It was something he really wanted. We also got him a Sponge Bob coloring book and story.

Noah’s Birthday Party at Incredible Pizza

We went to Incredible Pizza in Memphis for Noah’s fourth birthday party. It was a longer drive for us to get there, but we wanted to try it out since we’ve always just gone to Chucky Cheese. It is similar to Chucky Cheese, except they have a pizza buffet and bigger activities such as bumper cars, 3D simulations, miniature golf, bowling and go carts.

This is Noah when we first arrived at Incredible Pizza and were finishing eating our lunch.

They had a miniature bowling alley for the kids that Noah and Shelby enjoyed.

This is Noah and Shelby on the ride home from Incredible Pizza. It’s quite a difference from the beginning. They were both ready to get home and take a nap.

Shelby’s Eighth Birthday

It’s hard to believe that Tamara and I already have an eight-year-old. Shelby turned eight on April 15. We got her a makeover game for the WII, some sunglasses, a couple books and some earrings. Grandpa and Grandma Kolditz gave Shelby her first set of scriptures, which she is very proud of. Her uncle and aunt Matt and Nikki got her a Hannah Montana purse that she now uses for her Digi game system and other personal items. Grandpa and Grandma Williams spoiled her with cash. Unfortunately, I was out of town traveling with softball, but Shelby had a very enjoyable birthday. Thanks to all those who wished her happy birthday and gave her gifts.

Chucky Cheese

We let the kids decide where they want to go eat for their birthday, and of course they always want to go to Chucky Cheese. We had to celebrate Shelby’s eighth birthday a little bit early because I was heading out of town. Shelby and Noah always have a lot of fun and Tamara and I try to enjoy the really bad tasting pizza. Then we get to use the tickets the kids get from the games to get some overpriced junk .
