Rhett's Pool Party

We had Rhett's pool party at the athletic club last Sunday, the last day of Spring Break.  The kids went swimming for the first hour and a half, then everyone moved to the party room for cake and ice cream.  

 With his buddies:

Garret, Aidan, Nate, K'Ron, Gabe, K'Lon, Rhett and Lawson

We were glad that Bobba and Grammy could join us for the party.

Happy 9th Birthday to you, Rhett!

The athletic club provided the cake, ice cream and juice.  R chose a chocolate cake with chocolate camouflage icing.

 The whole birthday crew!

Lane's parents came to our house after the party.  They had birthday gifts for both Rhett and Crosby and a surprise for Alexee.  Rhett had requested money for his birthday--he likes to save up and do a lot of his own shopping now.  Grammy and Bobba brought him a "treasure chest" containing old coins and birthday cash!  :)  Crosby loved his new firetruck that sprays real water!  (And I think Lane and Rhett liked it, too--everyone wanted to play with it.)  And Alexee's fairy wings were the perfect surprise because she is in a phase right now where she pretends to be a fairy with her friend Chloe.  I think she wore the wings to school every day last week.  

That evening we all went to eat at Kobe Japanese Steakhouse for the boys' birthdays.  Rhett has decided that this is his new birthday meal tradition (instead of Purple Cow...I have to say this was MUCH better!)  This is the one kind of food that all three kids seem to really like!  They all like fried rice, and Rhett always eats every bite of his steak.

Nine wonderful years old! 

After dinner we came back to our house for birthday dessert--brownie sundaes.  Thanks, Grammy & Bobba for celebrating with us today!
