9th Birthday Celebrated

How did this happen!!!  This boy of ours is turning 9 years old.  Wasn't it just yesterday that we traveled up north for him to be baptized?  He has had to wait so patiently for this day to arrive or should I say not so patiently.  Every day was greeted with new plans, new ideas for presents, and what friends he would celebrate with.  

His biggest complaint was that his birthday was on Sunday and to make it worse it was the primary program.  Nobody should have to have a Sunday birthday.  His plans also needed be scaled down due the soccer doubleheader in Enoch on Saturday. He was a good sport and came along without much complaining,

Birthday Dinner completed with
a saddle ride and ice cream.

Who spilled the beans??
He would have been disappointed if nobody said anything.
Dad was the person who told.

Presents..
He loves all emoji s.

The sisters came  through for him.
Priceless picture of the hugs given in thanks.

WHAT!!!! a Skateboard!!!

What were we thinking??? He has begged for months for one of his own.  We must be crazy to contribute to his craziness.  I really need to invest in more bubble wrap.  His gift box was full of Twix Candy Bars, Pokemon cards, Legos, mint gum, and black socks. 

We all sang Happy Birthday around his chocolate pie.  No cake for this boy instead chocolate pie with lots of whip cream.

There is never a dull moment at our house with this boy.  His constant chatter, crazy schemes, and his creative projects that are always in progress.  He moves around the house as fast as he talks but he has a tender heart and a hard head.  We hope that he has even harder teeth that will survive him. He is a good student, good swimmer, and a hard worker.
