Brigham's Birthday

Brigham's birthday was at the end of last month.  I can't believe he's 6.  He still seems so little to me.  Maybe because he's the youngest, and probably because he still doesn't talk a whole lot.  But he sure is cute.

I was taking some pictures before he opened his presents and he just loved it when my flash would pop up.  So I got several cute pictures of him that way.

It was hard to stop since he was enjoying it so much, but we had presents to open.

 It was a little hard to figure out what to get him.  We already have everything even remotely related to the solar system.  I decided that what he would like would be something that goes up in the air really high.  So we got him a stomp rocket.  But we would have to wait until tomorrow to try it out.

I had all his presents picked out when I remembered that I had wanted to get him a mini trampoline.  He loves to jump and I'm just not strong enough to help him jump without something to help.  He loved this, and jumped for quite a while.  Also, if you notice my iPad on the piano bench, we were able to Skype with my parents so they could watch him open his presents.  It was so fun to have them there.

 Then it was time to blow out the candles.

 He was doing great at first but then his last candle was giving him trouble and he would lean over it to try and blow it out, but he was directly over it and it was too hot.

 So Dad helped him out a little.

He was so excited when he blew them all out!

 It was way past bedtime by now, but we had to try out the fun instruments that he got from Grandma Bonnie.

It was a good birthday.

The next day we were finally able to try out his stomp rocket.  It was definitely worth the wait.

 It was easy enough that even Brigham could launch it pretty high.

 I was right, he loved it.

 It really went surprisingly high.

Jaaromy caught this picture of Brigham mid-jump with his phone.  I love it!

Happy Birthday, Brigham!  I'm so excited to see what you will do this next year.
