Yesterday, our oldest child turned nine. How is this possible?? Blake can't be 9 already and we can't be old enough to have a 9 year old!!
Blake was supposed to have a class pool party yesterday after school, but Bryson got sick with the flu and we have rescheduled his party for next weekend. Blake was such a good sport and I am so proud of the way he handled the change! We did get to celebrate with Grandmomma, Grandaddy and Uncle Carey last night. We had a very quick hamburger dinner before Blake left to go to the football game.
Grandmomma and Grandaddy gave Blake a reflex boxing bag......
And boxing gloves to go with it. This could be dangerous!!
Especially for Grandaddy!
and Daddy!!!
Bryson bought Blake a Phiten necklace which seems to be the "new" thing. It is amazing!!! As soon as Blake put it on, he had so much more energy!! Brett gave him a bracelet to go with it!
Grandmomma and Papa gave Blake a check which he was VERY excited about! I wonder what he will spend his money on!!
Uncle Carey came to eat with us. Blake was happy and so was Brett since Carey decided to share his cake with him. I am not exactly sure how much cake Carey actually got to eat since he was wearing a good bit, but Brett enjoyed it!
Blake,
Your Dad and I are so proud of you and the young man that you are becoming. In the last year, you have matured so much. You are still funny, very creative and smart. I am proud of how you stand up for what you believe in and you seem to have a soft spot for those that are not as fortunate as you are. You love to be outdoors and you are always creating something. You are playing soccer right now and are scoring goals at every game!! My proudest moment of the past year was when you accepted Jesus into your heart at Bible School and were baptized on Father's Day. You could not have made us more proud! Brett thinks that you are wonderful and he really looks up to his big brother. I hope that you will conitnue to be as good to him in the years to come as you are right now. I also hope that you and Bryson will not fight as much!! Always remember how much we love you and how proud we are of you! Happy Birthday Buddy! We love you soooooo much!
Love,
Mom and Dad
*You'll have a great party next weekend!!
