9th birthday

Well, I'm a little late posting this, but we celebrated Brendan's 9th birthday a few weeks ago. We just had a few of our good friends over to Grandma's house to go swimming. Almost everything Brendan received for his birthday was Star Wars related, because, of course, this is the new phase. Long gone are the days of Thomas the Train and pirates... Almost every conversation in this house revolves around or digresses to light sabers, Jedi masters or X-wing fighters. Even Mackenzie joins in on the lingo because she wants to play with her brother. And Kylie refers to Darth Vader as the "bad guy." There is an entire fleet of Rebel and Republic lego spaceships in Brendan's room and every day he has a new one to show us. Oy. I am happy to say that Brendan started karate last week and loves it, so at least he escapes from his space world sometimes :) So here's just a few pics from the day:
