This little guy

 

ran outside around and around like he was being chased he was so excited !

Unfortunately, I had the wrong setting on my camera! duh!

OUR VERY OWN ……..

Prince Charming

 

I have been SO blessed !

YOU know they are tired when ……

 

 

You see this through the banisters as you are coming up the stairs …

 

and then find this at the top :)

….out cold !

 

 

AND then You find this one in the next  room over !

Both of them passed right out in the middle of the day!

te- he…oh nap time-it is a thing of beauty and how I miss it …and enjoy it when it comes to visit here every now and then !

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!

 

Our big Mr. # 5 !!

with his special request Smartie Cake

 

This boy is sweet to the very core of his nature !

 

He is my humming bird …always making music !

He is gentle, and continually forgiving to his brothers who continue to {due to their sheer size} overtake him by force on a daily basis.

He is obedient and cheerful …always reminding the twins of the rules.

HE is such a hard little worker ….bit of a perfectionist…very competitive ….hmm wonder where he go that from ?

The other day his biggest sister got “ the weekly reward treat” from Dad for our character quality of the week challenge…. AND He was SO jealous !

I gave him a  little pep talk about being happy for others…sent him off to repent to his big sister for his jealousy and self centeredness…when he arrived at her bedroom door she asked him why he was crying ..to which he obediently answered her “because I am so happy for you “

AH- HA we had such a laugh over that one!

He is surprisingly loud  …and talkative.. OH can he talk!.. every detail must be shared from beginning to end!

At a play date last week he turned to his little girl friend and said “your pretty” she said ” thanks” then he said “ I don’t have much experience in prettiness but you do “!!!  ~Sweet talker like his Dad !

He is very bright, he absorbs absolutely everything reads and reads and loves to read books!

He loves to lead his little friends around while holding their hands…very cute at church!

HE has a MAJOR sweet tooth and I think b/c he is so tiny HE is very sugar sensitive and can hit the ceiling in 2.2 seconds on a sugar high

 

This little man …. is a mommas boy xo

 

We took him out for his birthday date breakfast to I -Hop but he got a very sore tummy before we could even eat or get pictures and so we had to leave and come home for a snuggle instead…..

Oh I LOVE THIS LITTLE GUY~ HE IS SUCH A SWEET SWEET GIFT!

For our new birthday tradition {that Big brother started }This little guy choose to serve others cake first instead of being served first  :)

We will have a 15 10 & 5 year old this year ….wow!

Happy Number #10 My BOY!!

 

My first baby boy ….is 10 !!      …10 !!!

10  is a big year  !!

It all seems to change at a mock speed from #10 on …..this boy~ is becoming a young man….and He is a JOY to his old parents hearts !

 

I remember little after he was born…the fact that we discovered there was no film in the camera Kelly had been taking a million pictures with…. that he was 9 lbs.. just like I told him to be:)  and smiling at the proud new DAD who would not take his eyes off his BOY !

He might look like his Mom ..but this boy is a Daddies boy….and a “mans man” he loves being a boy ! Who wouldn’t with all these great men God has put in his life !

 

 

He spurred on a new tradition this 10th birthday year !

He choose to come home from his special Father and Son weekend trip away… instead of sleeping over …just so that he could be here, to go early to our church… and help set up…he wanted to serve others on HIS birthday !

So…. we have told the kids that they can choose one very special thing they want to do on their birthday…. to serve others.. and we will make it happen …. what a great heart this kid has !

No wonder God choose him to be the first boy ..he is a leader who makes fantastic choices for his siblings to follow after !

He is A BLESSING ! 

Who was entrusted with a shiny new pocket knife from his Dad to celebrate his new double didgit…10

{{hug}}

and a safe with a code and lock to keep it in…. from his MOM !

Hugh ?

Oh I get it !!!

As his Nanu says …

“ HE IS A DELIGHT ! ”

That’s my boy!
