I'm Getting Old!

I can't believe he's 11!

Connor in his birthday outfit-- complete with the requested tye-dye converse shoes. He is holding a string of Bucky Balls. If you don't know what bucky balls are, look them up on youtube. They are pretty cool.

Connor with his favorite present-- a plasma globe

What he's been wanting: a rip stick. It's  a skateboard with 2 wheels instead of 4.

Connor showing us how it's done!

This year is Connor's STAR birthday. In the Rush family, that means you turn the age of the date of your birthday. So Connor turned 11on the 11th. So, we wanted to make it as big of a deal as possible for him, while still staying within our budget!

On the twins bday we went to a place called "Jump On It." Connor liked this place more than the twins and wanted to go back. He invited 2 friends, Asher and his cute cousin Angie. The three of them spent most of their time climbing this rock wall and then falling into a foam block pit, or doing flips off the tramp into the foam pit. They all had a great time!

He chose the Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie for his birthday cake.

Here's a few fun facts about my Connor-boy: All of these answers are what he said verbatim:
