Eight years ago, we welcomed our first into the family! Happy birthday, John! He's gone from announcing himself as "John John Man" to "Just John." Big steps in a short time. But we've enjoyed watching him grow and develop into a boy with great potential and enormous energy! Mom made a rocket birthday cake and John was able to blow out the "rocket" candles in one breath! Way to go!
Here's some highlights from his birthday. He got to take some Cocoa Puff muffins to school and reported that his teacher loved them...well, not as much as the homemade chocolate cookies she got from him on her birthday, but still a great treat!
He loves the new box of LEGOS! So do all the rest of his siblings. We have some great days of building ahead of us.
Thanks to Mom and Dad, John now has his own set of scriptures. He was so excited! He says he doesn't have to go to the church library to borrow a full set every Sunday! And the bag they will be stored in fits just perfectly. Oh, and they are blue too! Wow! Such an excited boy!
And I nearly forgot, the last but not least present came from his siblings. Kelsey made sure the kids colored some pictures for John. That horse on the left is from Joe. Crazy! But they were so excited, and so was he! I love little things that cause such reasons for gratitude from my kids.
