"You are Special to the World"

Kevin and I were talking about what he could share on his sharing day in first grade. Not a toy. A thing or a story. Something special.

Mom: "What is something special to you?"

Kevin: "I could share you, you are special to me! You are special to the world"

Seriously?! How sweet is he?! I sure love my Kevin :)

Kevin's 7th Birthday

 

It was a Lego themed birthday for Kevin this year. 7 years old! We had a family party on his actual big day (April 28th) and he invited 5 friends over for a party on Saturday. There were seven boys total and Jeremy and I, at our home. It turned out great. I'm glad we did it at home and not at some play center.

His first Atlantis Lego kit. Ashton was pretty excited too :)

Pizza time!

Jeremy designed a small Lego ship, then we broke it up and put one piece in each balloon. The boys were separated into two teams. They had to pop the balloons to get all the pieces then build the design. The team that finished first won!

Jordan enjoyed the cheese balls, as you can see...

My sweet boys! My favorite picture from the day!

Party favors for the boys. Those are eatable Lego guys. 

How many Lego's in the jar?

Kevin's family birthday party.

Kevin bought this $104 Lego kit with his birthday money.

He built all 933 pieces in just a few hours.

"You are Special Today" (aka: The Red Plate) for the special boy.

Kevin filled out a special poster all about himself that he shared with his first grade class.

The next day Kevin's friend said "That was the best birthday party ever'!"

Our Student of the Year!

Yes, this is a little late but not any less important. Our Kevin received recognition as the "Student of the Year" from his kindergarten class at his year end assembly in June! Of course we were so proud :) Kevin enjoys school and loves learning. I am preparing myself for him to be gone from 8:30-2:50pm come fall when he starts first grade! Im already starting to miss the days when there was no preschool or elementary school. I fondly remember all the days Kevin and I had together when he was a baby, just the two of us, before any siblings were conceived. That is a special time you can only have with your first born. I can't believe how grown up he is getting!

The 'Crystal Sweeper'! I got this at an after Christmas sale and have been waiting to give it to him ever since.

Kevin and his friend Kellen. We had a party with the whole family and I told him he could pick one friend to come over and he picked Kellen. They met in preschool and now go to different schools.

It's hard to believe that it's been 6 years since we had our first baby. Our first boy. Six years since I left my 'paying' job. Had three boys in the last 6 years. What fun it has been and what a blessing Kevin is to our lives. I cannot image life without him.

Below is a video of Kevin's class singing him happy birthday :)
