Akins turns 6!!!

It's seems unbelievable but it is true... Akins turned six years old. He has a friend on his soccer team that always has his birthday party the same day. For the past couple of years we have overlapped party times causing some of the party goers a conflict. We decided to join forces this year and have the party at a skating rink and invite both sets of friends (some combined) and it worked out great! Here are some of the highlights..


Following the instructions to Grandma's card! Stand on your head!

Pick your nose. He was just about to drink the toilet water when he realized..... OH!!!

How old are you????

Crawling the preferred method of getting across the "slippery floor"

The challenge included tears, anger and frustration

His cake was in the spirit of riding his quad

Maima chickened out and did not skate

Wiggly races

Cole got the last fake rock from the cake

The frenzy

In the end we conquer this challenge!


Mommy: Akins good morning Happy Birthday. Guess what? You are six years old now!
Akins: I know I'm almost seven!
Mommy: Okay, yes in 364 more days you will be seven.


Mommy: Maima why do you not do the fun things you are letting your life pass you by.
Maima: I still have a good life. I am just twelve!
