Happy 7th Birthday Brady! Today Brady had Basketball practice in the morning. Then we started to make his cake. He wanted an R2-D2 cake. We baked all of the cake today so that we could frost the cake tomorrow! We made 1 10x13, 1 9x13, and 1 10" round cake. It was a lot of cake, but it was fun to make the R2-D2 cake. We made yellow, vanilla, and fudge marble cake mixes.
Then we headed off to the Birthday Adventures. Brady loved playing miniature golf on the cruise, so that's what he wanted to do. We went to King Putt Mini Golf. It was Cosmic mini golf. Stacey came with us, and we all had a fun time. They even had a golf club for Clark.
Then we went to a new park area at Sunset Park. The boys loved climbing and running around.
Then we went to a Mexican Restaurant, "Coyotes", which is Brady's favorite restaurant. He loves the chips and beans. He was also being very peticular about how he wanted his food. He told the waiter that he wanted a Bean and Cheese Burrito without the Cheese in the Burrito. He asked for the Cheese on the side because he doesn't like melted cheese. What a picky guy! We had a great time! Then we went home, and he got to open two of his presents. He opened one from Stacey, which was Harry Potter Coloring Book, Poster Book, and a Sticker Book. Then he opened a present from us, which was a Mini Basketball Hoop with a Ball. Brady's interests as a 7-year old are Harry Potter, Star Wars, Wii, and Sports. He just started playing Basketball for the first time, and he loves it!
This week, we have been thinking a lot of Riley. We just found out that Riley has Leukemia. When I told The boys that Riley is sick, so we need to remember him in our prayers, Brady said, "Then we need to fast for him!" So after dinner at "Coyotes", we began our fast with a prayer. We were going to start our fast on Sunday, but then Brett called to organize the family fast. The news was quite a shock, but we know that Riley is strong and we have faith that he will beat this illness. I was so proud of Brady for wanting to participate in this fast for Riley. My 7-year old is growing up! That night Vance, Clark, and I went to a Christmas Party, and Brady chose to hang out with Aunt Stacey and watch one of the Harry Potter movies. Logan decided to hang out with Brady and Stacey. Brady told me that Nani gave Logan some treats, and she asked Brady if he wanted some. He said, "No, I am fasting for Riley!" I thought that he would forget and eat, but he remembered and stayed strong. We are praying for Riley and the Heflin family everyday. Riley is such a good kid, and I know that he can beat this. We love you, Riley!

Brady said his prayer for Riley and broke his fast at noon. I was surprised he made it that long.
Today we had Brady's Birthday Dinner with the Skidmore's! He ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken, Corn, Carrots and Ranch, Strawberries, and Sparkling Cider and Cranberry Juice. We finished decorating the cake in the morning. He also requested to have his cake say,"Happy Birthday BradyS." He is known as Brady S. at school because there is another Brady in his class. He told me that when he has gone to his friends' birthday parties, they have their name on their cake, and that's why he wanted his name on his cake. Then we went to church at 1:00pm, and came home to prepare dinner. Nani and Grandpa Skidmore, Stacey, Burke and Germania came to his Birthday Dinner. We all had a great time. It's hard to believe he's SEVEN! Time flies!
Then we sang to him! Happy Birthday, Brady! We love you!
