Somehow life keeps going.
This guy, our oldest, is 8 already!
Thank you, son, for the privilege of being your Mama.
It sure is a gift.
In so many ways.
Pictured here are two little parties he had...one with us on his special day,
and the other with family.
 |
| Light the candles on his own cake? Of course. Wouldn't have it any other way. |
 |
| He also made his own cake, at his request. It was a camo-colored concoction with hunter orange frosting. A chemical nightmare, to be sure. |
 |
| A metal detector! |
 |
| This is a silly picture the kids wanted me to take. Shawn's been working on the house (as always), and they found this door, that he trashed, outside. They played with it for a morning, even setting it up in the actual doorway and demanding their picture taken. Their uber-happy smiles make me laugh! |
 |
| Quite excited about a new rocket kit and engines. :) |
 |
| Money money money!!! |
 |
| Another item he's been anxious for: a magnifying glass |
 |
| And "yes, I'm going to light this cake too." |
 |
| His friend David came to play for two days and sleep over! Very exciting indeed. |
 |
| Most of their time was spent outside, in the garage, in the barn, in the fort, and in the trees. :) |
Such fun times! I had to make a camo cake for my son - it wasn't pretty, but it made him happy. Totally worth it.
