Happy Birthday Collin!

Popping in to wish my Collin a fabulous 11th birthday today!  He still seems very little to me, but I'm sure in just a couple of years he'll be standing next to my as Jonathon does and surpassing me in height. This little man has a love of live. His birthday present lists describes him:  

• a pogo stick (he's active...riding his bike, scooter, skateboarding and he has massive cuts on his knee right now from a crash)
• a fishing net (he loves to be outdoors and his happy to sit and fish for hours on end.  Pat told him he'd take him night fishing and his face lit up)
• an xbox game (yep...he loves Minecraft like the best of them)
• a root beer making kit (he loves to cook...he can make a mean omelette...and he's never too far from a lemonade or slushy stand at the end of our drive.  I'm sure root beer will be added next.)

He can be loud when he is in a very comfortable situation, but most often his is on the shy side.  His eyes do his talking a bit more than his mouth.  Love seeing those eyes light up and a sweet little smile escape accompanied by a blush. Love my little man tons. Happy 11th birthday beautiful boy.

 Above is his card (neon green is his favorite color) and below are a few pictures from his birthday.  His buddies Jake and Logan came over and we went to David Busters for games.  You can see the smile on his face when he got the root beer maker.  Collin wanted cupcakes (store bought were just fine...) but we forgot candles so we turned out the lights and used the grill lighter. Have to improvise!

 And I had to share this picture below.  I think we could do a before and after as I could see this same picture being taken in college.  Thankfully water are the only drinks being used so far!  The boys used their tickets at David Busters to pick them out!
