Minnehaha Falls in Solid Form...

Jason took the boys to Minnehaha Falls while I was sleeping after a night shift a couple weeks ago.  I was so amazed with how it looks!  There were some people going in, but it is against the rules and it's pretty dangerous, but I probably would have done it!  ( :  Charlie is only posing with double thumbs up these days...

William Turns SEVEN!!

The Monday before his birthday there was no school so we headed to Nickelodeon Universe with 2 friends!

Will had a ball and so did Jack and Cara!

Mall of America has a HUGE Lego Store with a giant Lego play area.  The boys could have stayed here for hours.  Cara and I went to American Girl while the boys played!

The Blues Clues Ride continues to be one of Will's favorites!

Bumper Cars!

Will was really good at them this time, I guess all the driving the Power Wheels helped!

Birthday morning was all about the presents!

I brought Minecraft cupcakes and treats to his class.  Here is Will and his teacher Ms Rusterholtz

Will ate 2 cupcakes!

Will requested birthday brownies this year instead of cake!  They were yummy!

In the evening we went to Space Alien Cafe for dinner.  It is kind of like a Pizza Planet like in Toy Story...

Will and the Space Alien fistbumped! 

Will made a great haul of Minecraft, Big Hero 6, and Skylanders!  A 7 year old boy couldn't ask for anything more!

William had his 7 year well child exam:
Ht: 49.25 in  (46.75in at 6)
Wt: 55lbs (49lbs at 6)
He is growing so tall!  75th percentile for height!  We had his parent teacher conference the same day and he is doing great in school.  He is top in reading and math and his handwriting had greatly improved!  I am glad I have kept papers from early in the year to compare to.  I love this kid so much, and I can't believe he is already 7!  He is still a super picky eater, but what he does eat is healthy.  He sleeps well, and is such a nice, caring, generous boy.  I am so lucky to have such an amazing kiddo!
