Gage's Birthday Party

This year for Gage's Birthday he got to have a "friend" party instead of a (much easier, less expensive and lower stress) family party so he was pretty excited. He has a great group of friends and it was fun. Gage wanted an Indiana Jones themed party, which worked out well since that seems to be theme in our home lately. This is his cake, Indy running from the boulder.We played a few games and were reminded how competitive 2nd graders are.Then opened presents and had cake, then went outside to run.

Poor Case could not figure out why he didn't get any presents, and why nobody was singing happy birthday to him. He struggles a little not being the center of attention and in the middle of everything and it drives us all a little crazy at times, and Lynn says he needs to apologize to Larry because he's sure he was probably exactly the same way, but even with Case squeezing his way in and trying to steal the attention the party turned out good and Gage had a great time.

February 8 - Gage is 8

Today is Gage's 8th birthday, I can't believe how fast it's gone. 8 years ago today Gage made me a Mom. He was an easy happy baby and is still an easy happy kid. He's a great big brother, he's a great helper, he's kind and smart. He loves to read and reads a lot. He's thoughtful, always thinking of his brothers and they love him. He loves being outside, playing soccer and riding his bicycle and dirt bike. Our family is definitely better because he's in it and it has been a wonderful 8 years! This is a big year for Gage, he gets to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and gets to start cub scouts. We Love You Gage, Happy Birthday!
