Happy Birthday Little Man

It is so hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that my little 9 lb 4 oz baby boy is 8 year old and 65 lbs today.  Where did those 8 years go???

He had a fun little b-day party at The Dive Shop with his cousin Owen and buddy Hudson.  They swam, had pizza, opened a few gifts and then a slice of pie to finish off the evening.

"You'll shoot your eye out, kid!"
  Michael and Hudson
 Remote control helicopter...we are all totally addicted!
  Kick and Go scooter.  Just like the ones Honda made in the 70's.
Happy Birthday Michael !!!

We had an awesome view of the eclipse the other night from our driveway.  I was super excited to show Michael how you can look through a potato chip bag and see the eclipse without hurting your eyes.  When we invited Daddy to come check it out, he suggested his weling helmet for better viewing.  Oh well.  At least he is equipped with a new littel tid bit of knowledge.  And for the record, a potato chip bag is much more readily available than a welder's helmet.  Just sayin'.  Tried to get a good pic, but the sun was too bright without the helmet and too dark with it.  I think the folks on the West coast got the best view.

Michael's next adventure is a triathlon.  We are all so excited.  It's at Bishop Park in Bryant.  He will swim 50 yards, bike 2 miles, and then run .5 miles.  We went to a transition clinic last weekend and he did great.  We've worked on transitioning from swimming to biking and biking to running, so he should do great.  We are oh so very excited for him. 

Spring is a busy busy time of year for us.  I am finished with teaching lifeguard classes for this year and Michael is almost finished with baseball.  This weekend kind of kicks off our summer.  We are headed to Jacks on the White River to enjoy some fishing, food, and fun. 

Blessed is the only way to describe all of this.
