As I said to a few of you in emails...yes, we had 2 parties within 1 week of each other! Although I'm a little tired it was worth it. We have had so much fun. I couldn't let Joshua's birthday slip away without sharing it as well. He turned 8 this year and I honestly think I've bought him a pair of jeans every week for about a month now. He's growing sooo fast and getting tall like his dad. He said this was the best birthday ever and 8 was great. I remember a couple of birthdays that stood out from the others but not the age. I do remember that being a kid was alot of fun because the only thing that consumed my mind was having fun with whatever I had that day to play with. Of course the simple fact that it was considered only my day made it more special to me. My dad couldn't always buy me a gift and there were more than a few birthdays that I didn't receive anything material wise but I always remember having fun. He always made sure of that. I got to play in the dirt with my brother's special cars, play in the rain, go on longer bike rides, go fishing alone and take my dad's lures ( that was a big thing)(of course it didn't dawn on me that he could see me from the backyard!). But there was always something done that made the day extra special. And I hope through the years that I can do the same for my children. Its not about the amount of money spent or not spent. Its about showing them how special they really are and how important they are to making this family complete. Enjoy the pics!
