Long overdue

 I am so past due on this post, it's not even funny!  Almost 2 weeks ago, our little buddy Andrew turned 8 years old.  How is it possible that I have an 8 year old?  Andrew is such a funny, interesting, inquisitive, bright, and sweet kid.  I don't think there's anything he can't do if he really sets his mind to it.  I have loved watching him grow into the boy he is today over the past 8 years, and I am so proud to say that I get to be his Mommy!  Happy (belated) Birthday, Andrew!  I look forward to celebrating so many more with you!

Since we did the big party thing last year, we did a family party this year.  We asked Andrew where he wanted to go to celebrate his big day, and he decided on Chuck E Cheese.  Not surprising since he had been there a few months ago with his buddy, Roman for his birthday.  :)

We had a great time watching the kids run from game to game all over the place!  I'm sad to say that I even lost Emma a couple times because she was bouncing back and forth all day.  Haha!

A Nerf gun- Mary McLean's comment when he opened this- complete with hand slap over her eyes, "Oh no.  I'm gonna die."  haha!

 It was a great day and Andrew had a blast!  I can't wait to see what his next year holds in store for him!  :)
