My BABY IS 7!

Today was my first born's 7th birthday. I can't believe Derek is 7! Before I know it he will be 14 well just feeling a lil nostalgic and looking through some baby pics and since I am a total blog SLACKER these days I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share!





Derek has always been a pretty happy kid


and a little bit of a ham



and more of a ham
hmmm he is definitely not getting that from his MOM!




Are we seeing a pattern here- yep he is a wild crazy kid sometimes but he has a soft side too and is a great big brother ummm 85% of the time.....ok so I'm sure I could find a pic without crazy eyes but it is kinda funny



Drew broke one of his new toys about 5 minutes out of the box today and his response was that's okay Drew accidents happen- Bubba's not mad and gave him a hug - they are so sweet sometimes...

So Grandpa and Grandma from California made a special trip out for Derek's birthday weekend. Derek was so excited to have them here he can't wait until Mom will let him fly alone to California to visit (Mom is still not quite ready for that one)

Derek decided to have a ice skating party which turned out great! The kids had a blast and I didn't have to clean up the mess! It was a little nerve racking because a few of the kids didn't know how to skate but we had lots of help and everything turned out great! One lil minor injury - thank goodness no broken bones! Pics too come I left my camera in my car and now it's almost midnight and COLD- Yeah I know I am a wimp.
