HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY MITCH!

So, this year Mitchell told us that he wanted a treasure hunt to find his gifts on birthday morning! In the past we have always done the "follow the rope" game... but thought his idea was a fun twist! We had 9 different clues for him to track down his gifts! It really was a lot of fun! He got hooked up with a LOT of baseball gear. He is playing little league this year and loving it! Grandma and Grandpa were here the night before and for part of the morning of his birthday. That was so much fun! We went to Boondocks with them before they left and Mitchell got to try out his new bat in the batting cages. We went out to lunch with Kev... and then out as a family to Bounce On It in Lindon. HUGE trampoline place. Afterwards Mitchell picked Spaghetti Factory for his birthday dinner. He felt pretty cool because since it was his birthday they let him pick any table in the whole restaurant to sit at. He picked a table way up on the very top floor balcony. We had the area all to ourselves and a great server who didn't mind hoofing up and down all the stairs with our drink refills! We took a bunch of silly pictures! I don't know if it was all the brain rattling from the trampolines or the high altitude in the restaurant but ALL of us could not stop laughing the entire night. I LOVE hanging out and playing with my family! There is nothing better in the world! We are SO SUPER proud of Mitchell for the outstanding kid that he is! We are SO lucky to have him as part of our family! He is incredibly smart... is fun as heck to be around... and is a good example to all that know him! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUD!
