Andrew’s 9th birthday party

Andrew's birthday party was an all boy - Ninja Party. We had it at Anatomies and they had the best time. The party helper did an amazing job. He entertained those boys better than I imagined. There were dodge ball games, laser tag, ninja courses, and so much more. Andrew had so many friends there to celebrate him. Both grandparents came too...truly a special day.

Andrew is kind hearted. Loves drums, soccer and football. He reads alot. Every night before he goes to bed, he reads. He is so loving to Sam. He loves a party and going to Carlise with the Clarkes. He enjoys tv and video games.

Andrew is NINE!!

Pictures of Andrew's actual birthday and birthday weekend. My parents were in town for the party - so they were here for his actual birthday. Andrew likes Harry Potter - he got the 2nd book in the series and harry potter legos.

He was student of day for during his birthday week. He got this honor for being nice and respectful to all his classmates.

We went to see Elf Jr during his birthday week too. Our neighbor Addisyn Drake was in the play.

Andrew picked Buffalo Wild Wings and Walk Ons for his two birthday celebrations.

Turning 9 is fun :)

Picture of daily life

These pictures are all over the place...but wanted to capture a couple of days in our daily life. The boys are in cubscouts and once a month they have a big meeting. I think Sam's group were the greeters for this particular meeting.

Other pictures are of the boys helping with decorating the Christmas tree. They helped put most of the ornaments on the tree. They did not get bored or quit in the middle. Sam really got into it and they both loved helping.

The one picture with the boys in Sacred Heart shirts is from the 5K fundraiser at Sacred Heart. They ran the 1 mile and both were so fast. Then they played, played and played some more.

We bought a boat

Owen found a boat this summer. It is a 1980 something boston whaler. He loves it. The kids might love it more. I love that they all love it. We bought it from a guy in Louisiana but we met him in Bay St. Louis. Then we took the boat out and had a picnic on the water. It was a truly magical day. We have boated on the Canebrake lake and in Perdido Key. Our favorite Perdido Key adventure was taking it to Pirates Cove and then to an island to watch the Blue Angels. I have pictures of that trip too. But the boat is a hit and we all love having it.
