Bridger's 13th Birthday

 July 20th. A couple of weeks before Bridger's birthday, we went out to dinner at O G after a soccer game.  The server asked if we were celebrating anything, so we said we were celebrating Bridger's birthday.  They came out and sang to him and brought him a free dessert.  We always love it when Bridger's friend Bentley gets to hang out with us.  Bridger's birthday week was a little hectic so it was good that we were able to celebrate a little early.

Bridger had a rough birthday!  Tanner started with the stomach flu Saturday night, then Bridger got it and then I came down with it.  It wiped us out.  Luckily Bridger and Tanner only had it for 24 hours.  But it took me a few days to get over it.  It made for a really crummy birthday for Bridger.  He slept off and on for most of the day.  He at a little bit of noodle soup for dinner.  I made marshmallow brownies for Bridger because we were supposed to go down to the A's for a birthday dinner.  Poor Bridger was too sick to eat any brownies.  Bridger perked up a little later in the night and was able to open his presents.  (When we asked him earlier in the day if he wanted to open his presents, he said he was too sick).

Bridger's iPod is acting up so we looked into getting him a new one.  It was the same price as a phone so we decided to bite the bullet and get him a phone.  (I was hoping to wait one more year).  I told Bridger that we gave one to Chase too soon so I was going to make him wait another year.  So he did not expect a phone.  We gave Bridger a fishing box because at scout camp, he was the only boy that didn't have his own fishing stuff.  I tricked Bridger because I put the cell phone box inside the fishing box.  Bridger was really surprised!!!  It was an awesome moment.  He was so happy!

Matt was Bridger's first phone call.

 Bridger got some sandals, a belt, BB8 bop it, bottle bash, a new bag, and water lacrosse sticks.

Bridger was too sick to eat any brownies.  So we put a candle on his empty plate and sang happy birthday to him.

Bridger was supposed to have his party on Monday but with us being sick, we moved it to Friday August 9th.  Luckily by then, everyone was healthy.  Bridger invited his closest friends: Nick, Jagger, and Thomas.  We took them to to U Air.  They boys had a blast!  We stayed almost four hours!!!  Bridger's friends were very generous and gave him really nice gifts.  We ate some pizza, had ice cream Oreo cake and then headed to the jumping place.  Tanner brought his friend Cy.  They're such cute little buddies.

Everyone had a great time.  Bridger finally got to enjoy his birthday!
