Nine

Well, yesterday my baby boy turned the ripe 'ol age of 9!!!!!! This one has been a hard one for me....I fought back tears at his baseball game every time I thought about it...and looking through his first year scrapbook was tough too!!! He asked me to come have lunch with him at school on Friday...while there all I could think of was how big he was and how he didn't need me as much anymore...I asked him if I could kiss him at school and he said "no." :(

My baby is growing up too fast!!! Seth always makes references like...7 more years and he'll be driving, or 10 yrs and he will be on his mission, We could be grandparents in this many years...... AHHHH!!!!! ...............make it stop!!!

I must say he is a good boy. I am grateful for his love. He is a great big brother....most of the time!!! Sadie and Ella adore him...he is patient and loving to them. He and Hope are really great friends...but he would not admit that. I tell him all the time.... Your sisters will always be there for you throughout your life......and they are going to have alot of cute friends.......so, you better be nice!!!! :) Thankfully that goes over his head at this point....and girls still have cooties. :)

I will spare you all the very long list of reasons why I think Luke is the bomb....but he is a prince and I love the garbage out of him!!!...and he is a good example to ME.

I have to tell you...that at his baseball game yesterday...it was opening day for the Cincinnati Reds....he wore his uniform # 9....on his 9th birthday...and he scored run #9 for his team!!!!

how cool is that?

Happy Birthday Bubba!!!!

Luke is an amazing boy. I think that 9 should be your new lucky number. You COULD have another, and maybe he would be a boy, and maybe he could be a new little brother for Luke??

What a sweet entry! He really is such an awesome kid! It is unbelievable how time flies! These kids are so big before we have a chance to realize what happened. I kiss my kids a lot right now...knowing that they will not be as happy about it later! So I thought that was funny that you put that about being in the school. But that is cool that he asked you to come and eat with him! I hope that he had a good birthday!
