unfailing, undeniable love

6 Years Young

The sandy beach was and still is a HIT.
Abba and Campbell
WHEE
Benjamin and Matthew
Matthew and Matthew. What a pair!
Some of the kiddos finishing up cake and such
Look at that face that is a true definition of excitement


A unexpected visit from Kirksey
The cake was simple to make but putting the bionicle together took me an HOUR.
Dadda and Abba had enough of partying!
Mixing a little swinging with a little floating?
The Birthday boy trying to wake up!


What he woke up to
What he really, really, really wanted was this Pirhana.
Birthday gifts from momma, dadda and abba
His McD's breakfast with candles
A day of wishes come true

Well, for whatever reasons my pictures didn't post in order and I couldn't rearrange them. Oh well. Matthew turned 6 on June 19th and we had a blast. The waterslide held up to 15 kiddos and no suprise to all the kids liked the sand just as much if not more than the slide. Isn't that how it goes? Kids would rather play with the box than the expensive toy.
Thanks to everyone who came and made this day special. It's been a great six years. He will be starting Kindergarten in the fall and is already reading, writing and doing math. Even with all his achievements in these years I'm still most proud of his sweet personality. He is a rule follower and is has more confidence that I had at 20. I'm proud of the little man he's become and thank God for everyday that I get to spend molding him and watching him grow.
Happy Birthday to our SuperBaby who's turning into quite the SuperKid.
