Double Digits...if you can believe it!!

How is it possible that my little boy is TEN?!  In so many ways, he'll always be my baby.  I love his tender heart and sweet innocence.  He is smart, kind, sporty, funny, friendly, caring and super cute.  Love him more every day!

 The only school day I will ever make pancakes, is on someone's birthday!!  And pancakes are Tyson's favorite:)

He requested cheesecake instead of regular cake, which made things really easy for me.  And since the boys were going bowling...

It a rare occasion when you get to have you party on your actual birthday and this year it worked out that way.  We had only four more boys but boy were they crazy wild!!  A great birthday for a great kid!

More than just a check on a list

I think I need a re-do on our trip to the pumpkin patch!!  Just like last year we had to leave Daddy behind, rush to the farm to pick out our pumpkins and then rush home to make it to our other activities.  I don't like that!  I want to stroll around the beautiful pumpkin patch, browse through the cute store, play fetch with the farm dog, let Summer spent half an hour washing pumpkins...and of course take TONS of pictures!  Oh, and I want the teenager to WANT to be there too!  I want it to be more than just something to check off my to-do list!!

 Take a picture on the pile of pumpkins: Check!

 See how much everyone has grown: Check!

 Find a wagon to take down to the patch:  Check!

 Take individual pictures with the pumpkins:  Check!

 (the non-cooperative teenager)

 Wash the pumpkins:  Check!

We may just need to go back...
