cameron

is 9 years old today. at 7am on 11.18.98 he came into our world with a head full of hair and skin so fair. this morning (as he does every birthday morning) we woke to "IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!" yelled nice and loud. we usually drag ourselves out of bed to do all the usual birthday fanfare.. but this year, ol’ mom and dad couldn’t do it.. we threw out the…"why don’t you bring your presents up here?" and much to our surprise, he squealed, ‘YEAH!!!’ and all 4 of the kids piled into our bed and dug themselves under our covers. ( i totally love that!! )
we actually celebrated yesterday with his BFF and had a great day. they watched the nightmare b4 christmas in 3d at the el capitan. then they  bowled and each of the boys got a strike! love that! he opened ONE present (what self control) and waited till today to open the rest.

hollywood is sooooo innnntteeerrresting.

i don’t think she realized this was a lollipop. 🙂

i can’t get enough of this boy’s sweetness. he takes care of business at school… looks after his little sister like crazy…is a fanatic over clean socks… is early to bed and my 725 am alarm clock…rule follower…baseball player…video game guru… memorizer of all the old testament books in the bible (he set out a goal to do this one day and did it)…embarrassed to take pictures but will amuse his parents every now and then…can draw really well…good at math…saves his money… is a homebody…he still loves to be with his family and likes to be tucked in at night. and as he just gets older and older…i hope his priorities don’t change 🙂 he’s a great boy. 🙂
