Ronin's 7th Birthday

Ronin turned 7 years old this last Friday. We had a family birthday party for him at a pizza place since the weather was rainy.

Singing the birthday song to Ronin. He is sitting by one of his cousins, Briggs.

Ronin blowing out the candles with his nose. I must say that is a first, I've never known anyone to do that before. It worked though, he was able to blow out all of his candles! However there were some (Cory) who weren't sure they wanted a piece of cake after that. :)
Birthday well-wishers, Grandma and Grandpa Hansen, and Ronins' other cousins', Ethan and Brooklyn. We are so happy they could be here for this.

Opening presents.

Ronin got some action figures of GI Joe and Bakugan. Briggs and Ethan got him some Pokeman cards.

More presents. He got a lot of clothes, two pairs of sandles, a little bubble gum machine, Hungry Hippo Game, a bubble blower, and other toys that I can't remember .

My brother, Cory, and his wife, Lisa, and their son, Briggs. They just moved back here from Ohio and it's been so much fun being able to hang out with them.

All of the kids - they had a great time playing in the jungle gym area. Connor and Aubrey spent most of their time playing arcade games.
Happy Birthday, Ronin!


He's already counting down the days to when he turns eight, because he knows that's when he can get baptized.


THINGS WE LOVE AND KNOW ABOUT RONIN:
* Has a very contagious laugh.

* His favorite color is green.

* There's no such thing as "walking" in Ronin's world - only running.

* He is constantly in some kind of battle or another because all we ever hear is shooting and bombing noises wherever he goes. The house, anywhere outside, in the van, visiting with people, you name it we are still hearing it.

* He is AlWaYs HuNgRy!!! I can't keep this kid filled up.

* LoVeS BROCCOLI...yes, that's right, broccoli. He requests it for dinner just about every day.
