I often find myself, as many parents do, asking myself where has the time gone? I am still in a fog, trying to figure out when my baby boy grew up. 8 years ago my world forever changed. 8 years ago I became a mama for the very first time. It was a scary birth and we are so blessed to have him here with us. His birth was full of scares and questions, but he was a tough guy and proved to us that he is not one to mess with. He is a miracle and we thank the good Lord everyday for allowing us to be his parents. I get choked up reliving that day. It was full of excitement, confusion and fear. But here we are, eight years later. He’s growing up so fast. This fella is truly a unique kid. He marches to the beat of his own drum. He’s smart, inquisitive and sharp as a whip. I couldn’t imagine my life with out this fella. He’s an amazing son & big brother!!
We usually spend his birthday at the state fair, but this year the fair was a few weeks after his birthday, so that post will come soon. So we celebrated his birthday pretty low key here at home. Decorations were paper airplanes suspended from the ceiling, it’s his lasted obsession. 
And his cake choice was Strawberry Cheese Cake, yep he’s got some great taste! His birthday dinner request was steak, mashed potatoes with gravy and corn on the cob. A real man’s man! It was a lovely day.
