Birthday Week

September 5th is the birthday of my brother Chris ... it was also the due date (very often, appropriately "labor" day) of three of my boys (Landon, Keaton and Cooper). None of them actually landed on that date, but with three birthdays so close together, it does make for a crazy week (well, a little over a week). This year, we started even earlier, with a Blackham Birthday bash at Maga's house on August 21, where we celebrated the three boys, and Aunt Courtney's birthday. Sam's Club didn't have our traditional chocolate cake in stock, so we had to settle for the white buttercream.

Cooper's actual birthday is August 28 ...
we DID get the chocolate cake this time.
Eight years old!

The next day (Monday) we invited a few friends and had a little party at Fun n Motion. We went as soon as school was out, and the kids (all except Cooper) lasted until closing!

Lots of lasers!

In the photo below, the flash is on ...
The boys got gifts (Keaton wanted to have a party with TWENTY friends, so he would get twenty presents) and Maga showed up too.
... and of course, more cake (oreo ice cream cake!)

Keaton's actual birthday was on Wednesday (Aug31).
Mom made lemon jello cake.
Eleven years old!

You may notice both Cooper and Keaton wearing a basketball jersey in their birthday photo ... yes, they each got one as a birthday gift.

Landon's birthday is September 7th, SIXTEEN years old. How did that happen? Chocolate cake again, if you look at other birthday posts, you'll see the chocolate cake from SamsClub is a family favorite! But I think we've had enough cake for a while!

I've compiled a photo album of each of the birthday boys, from baby to current birthday. Here are the links ...


Happy Birthdays Blackham boys!
