Jaren's 8th Birthday Party

For Jaren's party this year, he decided he wanted to go swimming at the Leisure Centre and he wanted the theme to be Pokemon. Well, let me tell you, I was super excited about that! Usually my boys want a whole theme party with games and everything around their theme, so to me, swimming was a breeze!

But, on the day of the party, we found out that the wave pool at the leisure centre was broken. We could still swim, but the main pool that Jaren wanted to use was off limits. I was a little worried about this when I saw that sad faced little boy - but once all his friends got to the pool, all was well. The boys managed to have a great time in the other pools -sliding, diving and splashing A LOT! I was SO glad that Lindsey wasn't working too. All those little dudes to keep track of myself would have been a lot to handle.

So, after the swimming we had cake and presents and I think Jaren and all his friends had a great time!
In this pic, Jaren and Felipe - Jaren's favorite, and most willing, friend to play Pokemon with. Ahh...Yummy ice cream cake. Thanks to DQ I didn't even have to slave over a cake this year!
All the party boys in their Pokemon shirts. Gotta catch em all!
YAY! Lego Indiana Jones for the Wii. Jaren has a blast playing Star Wars lego and was really excited when he got this game from Mom and Dad.

Squeaker the bat. Webkins #2 for Jaren (for all you Webkins fans)
Ahhh YES! Jaren is into Chaotic cards lately and you can see by his face that this gift was a hit!

I am glad that Jaren had a great party and that he has so many great friends to celebrate with!
