9. The Year of the Nerf Gun.

Mitchell Lee Bunger entered this world 9 years ago today! And that 10lb 1 oz baby who was a week over due had been a blessing each day since 2004.

We started his birthday celebration on Sunday in Kearney before leaving for home. Grandma ordered this awesome Pokemon cake and Mitchell got a huge Nerf gun.

This morning he awoke to what he called a balloon water fall.

And of course, birthday donuts with candles!

After a birthday surprise lunch with mommy at school we went to La Fiesta for supper and a birthday "treat."

And then more...presents! And you guessed it... More Nerf guns. 

By the time we took back a DS game that he already had, we could say we now have 3 large Nerf guns and more darts than a dozen trigger happy kiddos could ever hope to have. The jury is still out on who is enjoying our new love for Nerf Guns more...the boys or Daddy.

Happy 9th Birthday to our easy going, inquisitive, hilarious and creative oldest son!
