8. wow. wow.

8 years old

That deserves a wow, wow.

How did this boy turn 8 years old already?! 

This boy who is almost finished with 2nd grade and going to be starting 3rd grade, probably any day now by the way time flies!  THIRD grade...that's crazy...I taught 3rd graders way back a lifetime ago and those kids were like old and could actually read & comprehend & could be trusted using the restroom alone....well sometimes ;). 

This 8 year old loves...

Pokemon cards (his latest obsession),

minecraft, 

watching minecraft videos on YouTube (he would do this all day long if he was allowed),

his brother (he really does most days except when Evan INSISTS on sleeping in the same bed with him every single night...most days he's okay with this, but some days he just wants his own bed...I don't blame him ;),

his sister (always a great big brother),

 soccer,

everything about soccer (KC Sporting, Leo Messi, soccer books...)

baseball,

rooting on the Royals,

the color green (always & forever),

reptiles,
science experiments,
P.E.,

his mom & dad (well most days :).

Happy 8th birthday buddy!

His presents included what he loves:  Pokemon, minecraft, soccer, & Skylanders

A pink cake, yes, but only because he LOVES strawberry icing!

A little look at this boy's weekend:

hanging with some sweet little friends...he's great at playing with the little kiddos!

Soccer playing/watering the garden.

Trampoline running & jumping with those other two.

And begging dad to get you wet with the sprinkler since the weather was finally warm!

I hope you have a blessed 8th year buddy!
