Happy 8th Birthday Big Fella!!!

It's the Big Fella's 8th Birthday.  We celebrated by having a couple of his friends join us at Chuckie Cheese (aka, "land of contagious bacteria").  After a little bit of pizza and a lot of games, we headed back to our house for presents, a big cookie cake, and some ice cream.  The kids all had a loud good day.

The Big Fella is a special kid!  He loves sports, he loves Star Wars, and he loves video games.  He loves having me fix him waffles in the morning and he loves playing games with his mom.  We are so thankful for him.  He brings a lot of laughter into our house with his own way of looking at life.  He is one cool dude!

Some pics from the last few years.....and you gotta click on the video at the end!

Ready for Trick or Treat!

The morning after he got his Dallas Cowboys uniform for Christmas, he ate breakfast with it on
He loves to go sledding

What a great smile

I'm sure it was a home run!
