Jonnie had a good 8th birthday. He is still young enough to get really excited at the presents he receives and that makes us happy (: His favorite was the new truck his dad bought him. We also got him a skate board and I laugh because the 20 year old who sold it to me said, "You don't need a helmet or knee pads and elbow pads, I skateboard and I never use anything......" all the while giving me a smile like I was a silly mom and it is not cool to buy those things. I kept reminding him that he is 8 and has never been on one. I guess I am an uncool mom, but my son will be protected (:
The birthday party was fun and I think the boys had a lot of fun bowling. Only 6 boys were able to come, but I thought that was perfect especially when bowling and none of them had to wait very long. I was grateful that my mom was there to help the boys bowl and keep an eye on who was next, etc. Thanks again, mom! It was nice to have the party there where the boys could run around and be loud. For awhile we were the only ones there! I was also very impressed with how well they all bowled. Some of his friends are pretty athletic and it showed even in bowling!
Jon's brother Tim and his family were able to make it along with my parents, and mother-in-law. Tucker and Sawyer were able to bowl a little with the help of grandma Karen after the older boys were done. It was adorable!
Jonnie received some really great gifts. As you can see, he really liked the Twins and Vikings' gifts that Grandma and Grandpa worm bought him (:
I laugh because last year the big thing was Vikings everything, and now this year the Twins is really the big thing. Next year may be the Timberwolves or Minnesota Wild. Time will tell.....

We had a great time watching the boys bowl. Thanks for letting us be a part of his birthday party. The cupcakes were delicious, too.
Looks like a blast! Wish we could've been there. I love Jonnie's expressions throughout his day:).
