Our sweet baby James turned nine last week. HE asked for No school.
So we cancelled school, played in the morning and went to the park in the afternoon. It was SUPER DE DUPER COLD. I didn't even get out of the car, but I froze to death. A thunderstorm was on it's way, so when the wind picked up enough to blow the kid's away, I called it quits and we went back home. I'm pretty sure it was a memorable experience for them all.
Barry came home and made us all Cheeseburgers and Oreo Milkshakes.
Our sweet friend Dawn loaned us some awesome shake goblets.
Ellie saved up a whole week's worth of sugar tokens and cashed them in so she could buy James a present. I thought that was a sweetest thing ever. It was hard for her, basically, that is no sugar for a whole week. NO jam, no honey, no nuthing. The day before his birthday she and I walked to the dollar store and picked him out some gifts. She and Emma gave him a fun remote control trickster car.
Grandma and Grandpa Stuart gave James this giant nerf gun. HE loves it1
HE got a awesome card from Grandpa Griffin, he couldnt believe the 9 whole dollars he got.
A grape float. He really was anticipating it, but in the end he decided that grape pop and ice cream don't really go together afterall. ;D
James making a whip, unbeknownst to me.... I was an accessory to the crime. I thought he was making a necklace or something....
We love you James!!! You are soo smart, loving, forgiving, and amaze us everyday with your awesome creations. You are an incredible big brother and a friend to everyone.
I will never forget the first time I saw you, I looked down into your dark eyes and red face ....you were crying.... I picked you up and you wrapped your little skinny arms around my neck and immediately stopped crying and just sighed. I lost my heart to you at that moment.
Happy Birthday My Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!
