Brody initially said he didn't want a party and then of course the questions in my mind are does he know what he's missing OR is he like his uncle Gary was as a kid and really did not want a party??? We already had a busy busy weekend planned and do we squeeze in a b day party too for someone who may not really want one??? YES!!!! We decided to go for it!! Leading up to his bday and his b day party when you would tell him it's almost his b day or b day party he would say "No, it's your b day, or Haley or Noahs b day" Anyone but HIS!
Friday we decided to let him stay home from school and enjoy the day before his b day off AND watch the Inaguration of Trump which Brody was actually very interested in! He kept asking "what's they guy saying? Who is that guy?"
Mimi and Grandpa actually got to be in DC for this!
Aunt Sheryl also came over on Friday and helped me make Brody's requested Oreo Blaze monster truck cake!! NOOOO actual cake, just Oreos Brody said! Ok...so how are we going to do this?
Like this!
And Blaze is the winner!!!
Next up I had also asked Brody if he wanted to take cupcakes into school for a party with his school friends.....he said NO, baby Oreos!! Which means the mini Oreos! So we got a bag of mini Oreos for each child and put a ribbon around it and took it into school Friday afternoon for his school party. Excited to take them in!
He was not loving all the attention as you can see. Good thing Haley and Noah were there too! Yikes wonder how this b day party is going to go haha!
The night before his b day morning...
6:30am Saturday 1/21 Haley tried to sneak in the balloons she blew up for him the night before to surprise him on his b day morning! As she was putting them in there she heard a little whisper "Hayeee what you doing?" Smart girl responded back with "nothing, go back to sleep!" =O
He did lay back down for a few min but as he heard Haley and I getting ready to leave for her cheer competition in ATL we decided to get him up and show him his balloons and let him open his presents!!! Yes this was super early for all the boys in our house who usually like to sleep in until at least 8:30am! As Clayton said that day though "if you don't wake up early for your b day there's a chance you may miss it!!" LOL!!! This is sad but soooo true and especially this particular weekend!
Haley and I headed out for cheer competition and the boys were going to relax another 2 hours and then come down to meet us! I will do a separate post on that!
The only time all 3 of my kids have ever fallen asleep in the car at the same time is after a cheer competition! Seriously these things are exhausting!
We had to wake them all up for Brody's b day dinner though!!! Brody was sure glad we did too!! Look at his 12 new Blaze monster trucks Papa and Grandma brought him to open! He's not letting anyone touch them!
The next day we had Brody's b day party at Get Air since he LOVES to jump here!
And Brody's favs mini Oreos and candy necklaces for all of his friends!
If you can't tell by all the Red and black Falcons shirts the Falcons played and won the game that will take them to the Super Bowl in 2 weeks!!!!!
Getting excited about the candles
And then Mommy.....and hid his face while everyone sang to him! Silly boy! One day he will learn b day parties are great!
Trying to act like he doesn't want to give Addison a hug ;-)
Happiest b days do our sweet baby/big boy Brody!!!! We love you soooooo much!!!

After getting the flu shot he was not so happy and kept crying telling his bandaid to stop hurting him! When we got home he told Clayton the Dr shot him in the leg and put a bandaid on it LOL! He continued to show us his bandaid all day long and tell us how the Dr shot him in the leg =D
