Happy 9th Birthday Drake!

Drake turns 9 years old tomorrow, July 13, at 1:00 pm. I can't believe that he is already 9 years old. Time really flies!!! Last night, he had a sleepover and invited his 3 closest friends. First we went to Chuck E. Cheese, then home to a full night of partying! Drake declared he was going to stay up until 5:00 am and Turner said he would be staying up until 6:00 am. When I went to bed, they were building one of Drake's many Lego sets and needing lots of snacks!

I am surprised they were willing to have their pictures made with Chuck E. Cheese, but they were....probably the last year they will let me take a picture like this :( Cooper had to get in on this shot.

Cooper loved hanging out with the "big boys". He can't wait to be 9 himself. He and Mark went out to the cabin after Chuck E. Cheese, to spend the night. Otherwise, Cooper would've wanted to be right in the middle of the sleepover.
Sophie loved the cake...but could do without Chuck E. Cheese. She was a little afraid of him this time.

Not sure what Sophie is doing here. But, she doesn't appear to be very happy!
