Following the traditional rope to find his presents


The rope wound all around the house.


Woo Hoo presents at last. And oh ya baby..... ROCK BAND!

Grandpa & Grandma Flowers gave him a RIPSTIK
Nice moves Mitch!

Birthday breakfast complete with french toast, streamers, balloons and party favors!

Putting the birthday gift to good use!
Rock on Kev!

Mom's not bad on the drums either! I'm sure that Tate sucking his thumb and Mom biting her tongue are the keys to success!

Grandpa & Mitchell were an awesome duo!
The whole family is ADDICTED!
Thanks Mitch! We love YOUR birthday gift!
(Mitchell by the way is SO DANG GOOD!)

Mitchell chose the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner!

Aaron, Michelle & cute Ryan met us there.

We were so excited to have Grandpa & Grandma with us for the weekend!
