EIGHT

I sound like a broken record every birthday, but it is true, birthdays are so bittersweet for me. 

I love to watch my kids grow and become more independent. 

Love seeing their interests develop and their minds' expand, but man, it is going by fast, crazy fast. 

My baby boy turned 8 last week.

He has a BIG heart and has always been a little partial to his momma.

I love how silly he is and how he lives to make people laugh.

I can always get him to show me his true grin in photos by saying, 

"Mr. Ramsbottom" or 

"I just did a boom-boom" (Despicable Me 2) 

or any other potty talk really. 

He can spend hours drawing.

He likes to play outside with his siblings and his friends.

He has always been super affectionate.

Happy Birthday buddy, we love you so much it hurts!
