A Red Birthday

It was hard to believe it was time already for Ian's 6th birthday.  I still am not sure where the time has gone.  He was excited, his last day of school two days before.  Big brother woke up early and made the birthday boy breakfast.  Mamaw and Papaw drove in for a few days to celebrate with us.  It is hard to buy gifts for my children.  There isn't much they want or need.  Ian is a HUGE Reds fan and the Reds were in town that day.  It made a great birthday for our little man.  We had fabulous seats at first base and behind home plate.  We took turns in the seats so everyone got to experience the closeness of our first base seats :-)  The boys were excited to see all the players up close.  Unfortunately, the Reds lost, but our baseball fan had a great 6th birthday!!!

Little sister fell asleep in Sams.

An afternoon swim for the birthday boy.

Apparently, the scooter was a welcome gift!

His other favorite gift...a kickball.

She is has no idea how long baseball games can last!

The popcorn bag was almost as big as him!
