Luke's 7th Birthday

 See this crazy boy? He turned 7 on Thursday and he was so excited!!!

 We celebrated several days before since his actual birthday was going to be pure craziness. Sam set up the trampoline (one of the things Luke wanted done for his special day and in this picture the boys are making silly faces) and I made him a cake. 

 Luke is very specific about the things he wants. His birthday was no different. He wanted a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and a gun on top (not the prettiest cake but hey--he loved it!). This boy is so into guns, I don't know quite what to do with him. 

 He requested crepes with strawberries and whip cream for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, and chicken nuggets, tater tots, salad, and carrot sticks for dinner.

 He got to spend several hours with his friend Braden jumping on the trampoline, being crazy, and having his family over for cake and ice cream.

 The traditional book from last year. I think he looks a little older (:

 Man do I LOVE this picture!! It explains his feelings exactly about his present.

 Ever since Christmas (he was so disappointed at Christmas that Santa didn't bring him a gun), he has been asking for a "fake machine gun" or "a tank sent from Sweden in parts that I could assemble when it got here". Seriously!!!

 Sam and I went round and round and finally decided on a air soft gun. He was beyond ecstatic. He couldn't wait to get it open (and obviously no else could either!!).

 Haha...let's just say he wanted to pose for this picture!

 After making a list of rules and proper gun management he got to shoot it the next day. He is in heaven and has been very good to follow the rules!! 

 What a cute boy. I just can't believe my "baby" is 7. What happened!!??

 Thanks Grandma and Grandpa. He LOVED the money and promptly went out and bought some more "pellets" for his gun!
