7 Years Old

Today our big guy is 7 years old.


Dad had to leave for work so Mom made the birthday pancake.  My number 7 wasn't quite the same as Dad's but it worked.  He ate it up the second after I took this photo.  It's always an exciting day to get to use the birthday plate and mug.


B wanted another football party.  Three of his friends from co-op came over for their own "super bowl".  It lasted about 20 minutes then they played other games in the yard until the burgers were ready.


Here's the birthday boy opening his gifts.  I'm curious...what kind of friend has her son give our son a game where two people shoot nerf darts at each other!?  (Answer:  A friend who has boys and knows how much Son and Dad will love it! :)


The birthday dinner.  Burgers, cheet*os, tater tots and juice.  That's what he wanted.


The girls table outside in the pretty weather.



Just after he blew out the candles.


I found this football platter at the dollar store.  B thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread for his party!  More spice cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting (B's request).

Fun times and fun memories.  The party ended just in time for us to get to church.
Happy 7th birthday, B-man!  We love you!!

Note:  Mom was present the entire time in her usual place...BEHIND the camera!

Wow! I still think of him as that little guy I used to take care of in the 2-year-old nursery at church! Still just as handsome at the ripe old age of 7!
