Colby's birthday

                             Colby turned 9 the other day!  Happy Birthday, Colby!!

                             Some of his fun presents:  a HUGE "bubble ball" that is ridiculously fun
                                  to throw at each other...
                       

                                          ...a real putting green and kid-size putter.....
                             

                                  ...and a set of drumsticks which he tried out on some buckets
                                            and whatnot.   (he's agreed to let me sign him up for
                                                 some real drumming lessons at rnrhs!!! yay!!)

                                    

                                      He also received some Target gift cards, so here we are,
                                            looking for something to spend them on.

                                              ....and, as usual, their mother was FORCED into trying on the
                                              kids' XL size minecraft CREEPER sweatshirt!!!...
                                                    ahh, the things we do for love.

                                                  9 candles on a chocolate cake.

 
                                        We celebrate the life of a very special boy today.
                                              Praise God, I even had the honor,
                               just a few weeks ago, to pray with him to accept Jesus in his heart.
                                         Celebrating two birthdays, physical and spiritual!!

                                                               I love you, Colby!!!!

kid drummer part 2

.....aaaaaaaand this is truly amazing.  I just got done sharing this with my 9-year old boy, not to intimidate him, as I think this kid would intimidate anyone, even good drummers, but hopefully to inspire him to want to take lessons.  heck, maybe i should just sign him up, make him at least try it out.  this looks so fun, way cool to watch, too, so enjoy!!




(scroll down for part 2, not as exciting, but endearing to his mother)  ;-D

Kid drummer part 1

Happy Birthday, Colby!  Here he is with his "new" drumsticks i bought him, and a bunch of buckets and stuff to bang on.  I'm hoping he'll want to take lessons sometime.  anyway, here he is:





(part 2 coming soon, wait for iiiiiiiitttt!!!.....)

Drumming session #1

 Today, while our soon-to-turn-9-years-old birthday boy was still at school, Sam and I practiced a bit of drumming with the new drumsticks he will soon receive as a birthday gift.  Good thing I bought 2 extra pairs of these sticks, so the 3 of us can enjoy this healthy, stress-relieving, emotionally healing, people-bonding, very fun activity!!!  This is only our first attempt at putting together some good noisemakers, so bear with us, this is a tad ridiculous.  but fun!!!!

Fun with blueberries!!
