Cowabunga dudes, Cole has turned numero 7!

canisters of ooze showed up on some doorsteps.

to invite a few boys to mutate on over to our place.

for a turtle-y awesome party!

I think they were a little excited to be together...it started out with a group hug...tubular!

then they got turtled out...awesome!

it was a little exciting for these party people.

then it was on to games...totally radical games!

ninja turtles have to be masters of disguise...

so they played pin the mask on the turtle.

then it was outside for a game of "Splinter Says".

ninja moves were a must, they were awesomely bodacious!

here they are as regular turtles mutating into ninjas!

after a quick game of "turtle phone" 

(because ninja turtles need to communicate well with each other)

it was time for some grub.

ah the cake.

Justin makes an awesome sewer cap doesn't he?

along with cake we had: hero's in a half shell pizza, sewer covers, cowabunga bites, donatello bow staffs, turtle shells, and ooze to wash it all down!

(excuse the stool that needs to be recovered, a tiny rip turned to a large one rather quickly)

after singing to the bodacious birthday boy,

we opened gifts

(which were totally awesome and super thoughtful)

and handed out pipin' hot party favors!

Ninja turtles are obsessed with pizza, so it was only fitting that the favors be special deliveries!

(the pizza boxes were filled with all kinds of awesome turtle stuff, bubbles, stickers, and projectiles)

I think these party dudes had an awesome time,

just look at those faces.

Our little man is huge, and 7. 

He is kind, thoughtful, and the most helpful kiddo ever. 

He worries like his mother and is a perfectionist like his father.

He is the most responsible rule following kid I have ever known.

He has a laugh that will make you chuckle.

and a plumbers crack that is always visible...no matter how many belts we purchase.

He is creative and CRAZY smart. 

His memory is incredible and his love for reading is awesome. 

He loves being outside on his bike, or playing football or tee ball with his dad.

He is amazing to us.

Happy birthday Cole, we could not be more proud of you!
