A week before Riley's birthday, he participated in a fundraiser for the St. Baldrick's Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research. Riley raised $300 by promising to shave his head! Here we have the "before" look...
...and "after!"
Having almost no hair feels good on a hot summer day!
Riley's birthday arrived - The Big Six!
Our bigger boy needed a bigger Auburn jersey!
Look at all that loot! Somebody must love this kid!
Birthday party at the park - Riley is still good buddies with his first three friends from preschool, Jordan, Will, and Jake.
Instead of presents, Riley asked his friends to bring packaged macaroni and cheese (his favorite food) to donate to a local food bank. His new friend from Kindergarten, Coulson, helped him count them all.
Papa came to visit for July 4th and Donovan's birthday! We celebrated with ice cream...
...water balloons and popsicles...
(it took a long time to fill up the wagon with water balloons, but not long at all to empty it!)
...and, of course, fireworks!
Donovan got one of his favorite foods for breakfast on his birthday - bacon!
But not even bacon would get him to put up 3 fingers for the traditional birthday photo.
He was OVERJOYED to receive the "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" movie!
This was just PART of Donovan's loot... seriously! 
Alas, I didn't make it to Aldi before they sold out of red-white-and-blue ice cream cake, so we put candles in three cookies instead. Make a wish!
