Birthday extravaganza and a little bit of flying

It all started with a great party at a local pizza place. We get pizza here just about every Sunday night and when I found out they did parties, my mind was made up. The kids got to go into the kitchen and make there own pizzas. Which were huge by the way! The workers were great and so nice to the kids. We of course had cake and did presents at the pizza place as well.
Tuesday, Broderick's actual birthday he took donuts to school for the 3rd year in a row. The Calcrew brought the kids happy meals for lunch and he had an afternoon of fun. That night we were planning on going to house church. However, that got canceled because the place we have it, their daughter was sick. I instantly went into panic. I had no dinner and no cake. Great mom, right!? So I asked Broderick what he wanted for dinner, pizza of course. That was the easy part. Cake on the other hand, not so easy. He wanted a Spider-man cake. Where can you get a spider-man cake on demand. Thank goodness for Sam's Club! They actually had the above cake already made. Not such a bad mom after all.
The extravaganza ended today with a surprise of flying. That is right, Rob and Broderick went flying! Rob works with a pilot and he picked them up at the airport and took them flying. I hate, let me say that again, HATE flying so you can only imagine my nervousness about sending this precious cargo up in a 4 seater plane. I had been praying all week for the safety of them. God answers prayers. The pilot said, "the weather couldn't have been better. It is smooth as glass up there." I thought Broderick would be scared too, but he was not at all. I was so proud of him. After Broderick and the pilot looked the plane over to make sure everything was okay, they took off. Carys and I stood on the runway and watched them go.
You can't tell by the above picture, but Broderick flew the plane a little too! He sat in the co-pilot seat the whole time and got to help. They even flew over our house. Broderick had a blast! (Rob did too by the way!)
And there is our house. The brick and white one! Pretty cool! I would say Broderick had a pretty fun birthday!
