Lukey is seven!

Luke turned 7 on August 25th and wanted nothing more than to take a few friends and family to Jumping Jacks!  He has wanted to have a party there for the last two years, and we finally made it happen for him.  The morning of the party all of our kids woke up at 6 am, so excited for the day to get started.  Bill and I knew the kids were looking forward to it, but didn't realize just how much!

 Caleb never hesitated or even looked afraid to try anything.  Bill climbed up everything with him and after a few minutes, it was hard for anyone to keep up with him. 

 Molly took some great pictures for me with her amazing camera.  All of these pictures would have turned out blurry for me, because everyone was moving around so much.  She got a great pic of Dylan catching some air on one of his jumps.

 Delaney and her Uncle Bill went at it on one of the balance rings.  They both ended up pushing each other off!

Here are most of the kids going down together, with a few hiding in the background!  I love the way that Caleb is looking at Luke in this picture.

Bill had already ran a few miles that morning, and didn't realize he was going to get an even better workout at the party.

 Luke was especially looking forward to sitting on this throne and opening presents, since he has never had a birthday party with friends before.  He enjoyed every minute.

Aunt Gail, Laurie and Abby came to share the fun, as did the McKowns, Shorts, Brysons, Browns, Dows, Grammy, and Grandma and Grandpa.

 Wade found a tree house set for Luke to build.  Luke loves tree houses so this was the perfect gift!

 When Aunt Gail asked Luke what he wanted for his birthday, he didn't even hesitate, and asked for a clock!  Uncle Joe asked me why, in a house full of so many kids, would anyone NEED a clock?  Dylan has had one for years, and it has always bothered Luke that he didn't have one of his own.  Thanks to Aunt Gail for finding the perfect Star Wars clock!  He LOVES it!

 Bill's dad does lots of handyman type work for the owners of the Upland Chickfila, so they supplied us with enough lemonade, sweet tea, chicken nuggets, and brownies for everyone! There were some brownies left over to take home too.  They didn't last very long.

Here's the whole thirsty, sweaty, tired group of kiddos that we love!
