A Birthday Boy


Well after losing all of this and last years pictures when our hard drive and backup drive both crashed..........I'm thrilled to be able to post these updates, even though they are late.  Kuddos to Ken for retrieving all our info from both drives and getting our computer up and running again.  

   So following the arrival of Katelyn we began Birthday Season in our house.   Yes, it really seems like a season, as everyone but Ken celebrates a summer birthday.   Starting with Caleb. 


He was thrilled to know that on your birthday,  it's all about you....He started his day with chocolate chip pancakes made by Hannah ( a tradition she has started with her siblings).    She made them like a face which he really enjoyed.





Next you get to help make your cake,  well the clean up part.




We went to his favorite eating spot,  Old McDonalds, as he calls it, for lunch. 


Very excited about his completed cake,  one of his favorite  items ~  construction vehicles


Opening presents.   He really enjoyed the construction truck that came with tools, so he could take it apart and put it back together.


He also got his own "worker tools" so he can hang out with Ken outside and help with yard stuff.   He is loving this!





Finally,  blowing out your candles.  He likes this so much, that we had to do it a couple of times.




We are so thankful to have this little guy in our family.  He always has something to say (well at least to us) from the funny to the cute and even sometimes wise.   He is determined, has strong opinions and thoughts on things going on around him. He is very observant and likes to be helpful.  He gets concerned when one of his sisters or brother is upset or in trouble.  He's been known to keep Aaron company while he's in time out.   His fiestiness is balanced with a very compassionate, thoughtful and tender hearted spirit.
