Caleb's 8th Birthday

While Sharla and Justin were here Caleb had his 8th birthday. It is hard to believe that he has been part of our family for that long! He is such a happy kid! He is incredibly smart, stubborn, happy, and good at everything he puts his mind too!

Grandma and Grandpa Coon sent him a BB Gun for his 8th birthday.

He was ecstatic, to say the very least.
(sorry...don't mind the poor quality. I took these with my dinky camera )

He was so grateful for their thoughtfulness.
They always remember his birthday (and all the kids) and it means so much to us!

We got him a DS and some games and he LOVED it.

I am one of those mothers who hate seeing my kids get older. I want to cuddle them forever and never let them grow up. And because of this, we decided that instead of traditional "birthday spankin's" that we grew up with, we are going to wrap our kids up  in a blanket and make them let us hold them like a baby for one minute per age.
Needless to say, Beau and I enjoyed every minute.
I think the kids are gonna hate this idea...but "to bad so sad"! Mom's rule trumps all!
wahahahaha

Happy Birthday Caleb! We love you so much!

Caleb's 6th Birthday

We celebrated Caleb's sixth birthday last week. I can't believe our handsome little stud is already six. It seems like just yesterday he was being placed in my arms at the hospital and all I could do was smile and stare at him!

Caleb has brought so much joy and laughter to our family! He is always saying the funniest things and making sure that I am always well taken care of!

We love our 'little buddy" so much and couldn't imagine our lives without him! He is so excited to have a brother and share a birthday month with him!

( He promised to smile well for the camera if I took one picture of him being silly! This is sooooo him!)

Here are some pictures from his birthday party he had also. This was his first "Friend" party he has ever had and he LOVED every minute of it!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHNOODIE!!!!
