Happy 8th Birthday!

My oldest turned 8 on Saturday. Wow! I cannot believe he is so big! He is my buddy and is such a cool kid, in his mom's humble opinion. He has become a great big brother and my special helper around the house. He is playing flag football this year again, he has the job of teacher's assistant in his 2nd grade class, he loves playing his DS and Wii, and he enjoys figuring out how all things technical work. He loves to read. His favorite food is a quesadilla from Moe's. He is starting to really like watching sports with his dad asking questions about plays and players.

For his special day, he requested to go to Mississippi State for Fan Day to get all the players' autographs. So, we made a day out of it. Both sets of sweet grandparents came. His cousins came. We met at a favorite restaurant for lunch and cake and opened gifts.
After our little family party, we headed to campus to Fan Day. And, we were able to catch some great picture opportunities! We did have to wait in long lines for pictures and autographs. So, we did see a little of this: And, sometimes we saw this....a game film was a little more interesting than standing in a line!
We had a GREAT day celebrating a GREAT kiddo! Happy Birthday, Buddy!!!
