happy birthday bubs.

my dearest mason.

you are eight.

eight years ago...

i would have said that your 8th birthday seemed centuries away.

but here we are.

you are caring.

you have compassion.

you are so helpful, loving and patient.

we are often told by others how great of a big brother you are.

and they are so right.

God knew exactly what he was doing when he gave you that role.

i asked you to list your favorite things...

baseball. football. basketball.

macaroni and cheese.

ride bike. play outside.

legos. video games.

happy birthday bubs.
we love you like crazy.

the party.

rolling video games.

it was awesome.







mason and his buddy are just a few days apart.
they wanted to have a joint party... so we did.
these two are gonna give us a run for our money one day.
love them.

and it ain't no party without a cute snack table.
corn dogs. nachos. popcorn. and a coke.
that is pure healthiness, right there. ha.

the trailer was awesome.
four big screens inside... two outside.
16 game controllers. and one long bench.
there are also subwoofers under the trailer that make it vibrate.
add a little mood lighting... and lots of noise.
an 8 year old boy's idea of heaven.

the sisters outside getting jiggy to just dance.

happy birthday to you.

happy birthday to you.

happy birthday dear mason and max.
happy birthday to you.



and a balloon release to cap off the day.
perfect.
