Madden Family: Brooks turns 8 !!!!

Can't believe it!!!! Our first baby is turning 8 years old today. We can't believe it! It seems like i was just in labor for 12 short hours!!!
We had a great day! Started off with Brooks waking up to a floor full of balloons! Had an unhealthy breakfast, Cinnamon rolls. Then we were off to Bailey's swim lessons.
Matt and Madison came over and we all went bowling!! The kids had a blast. We are a basket of fries and played some video games. Kids turned in their tickets winnings and got some fun toys. Came home and got ready to go play a ball game! Bulldogs are now 11-0!!! U rock Brooks! Brooks got his 3rd game ball tonight! What a great way to end the day!!
His Nana from Hays came down to surprise him at his game and is taking him and his buddy, Kyson also a teammate camping tomorrow night. Brooks doesn't know yet! He will be super excited! They will be fishing, shooting their B B guns. Brooks will be shooting Blake's from when he was a kid! Pretty cool!
His other Nana came to his game too! Brought his whole team suckers and gave him his birthday card. I made cupcakes for the whole team and the coaches. Of course they were baseballs! Brooks is going to be having a birthday party at Great Wolf Lodge later next month so he will be getting his mommas homemade birthday cakes then!
Brooks wanted to say THANK YOU to Grandpa Kently for the card and money and THANK YOU to Uncle Eric, Aunt Emily, Elyssa, Ella, Emmy and Eva for his card and money! He was blown away with all the cash he got!! So excited!! Thank you to Nana too for coming to his game and for the card and money!! Thank you Nana and Poppy for the card and money!!

What a great day!!! Brooks, we are so proud of you and who you are becoming. Such a gifted and sweet young man!! Mommy and Daddy love you very much and so blessed that you are our son!
