At the Lake with my 8yr old!

After the USS Batfish, the boys and I met some friends at Tenkiller State Park to swim!

The boys spent a lot of time trying to catch the fish.

There were a lot of them!

My 8yr old!

After the lake we headed home for presents and cake!

No matter how many legos they get they are always excited to get more…

He picked a confetti cake icing.

He also wanted cotton candy ice cream(really! Yuck!)

I talked him out of it.

It just sounded too disgusting to me!

The rest of the evening were spent peacefully(for the most part) assembling lego sets.

What do you do for birthdays?

My 8yr old at the USS Batfish, Muskogee, OK

We went to the see the USS Batfish for my oldest’s 8th birthday last week!

I thought the boys might find it interesting, I was wrong.

They were ecstatic!

You get to go inside the Submarine!

I came here when I was young, which made it a bit nostalgic for me.

Definitely excited…

It is amazing how interesting all the buttons are to boys.

I am pretty sure I could never stay in one of these.

I like wide open spaces…

No windows people.

I need windows.

I am so glad we went to this!

They both had a blast!

We headed to Lake Tenkiller to swim afterwards but I thought this post had enough pictures already.

I will share those later.

Last Day as a 7yr old! I dropped the ball…

I realized today that my son turns 8 tomorrow.

I remembered his birthday at least but I forgot to take his birthday week pictures!!!

I have been taking a picture of my boys every day on the week before their birthday for 3yrs.

Except this year because I forgot!

I know!

Shocking!

and a bit terrifying…

but at least I remembered on his last day!

This kid amazes me in his ability to invent.

He decided to study anatomy today so that he could build a human like robot.

He has also taken up running and he is awesome!

Like a fish to water that boy runs like he was born to it.

He ran his first race this past year and loves the medals and “junk food” at the races.

I am pretty sure he is going to be my crazy ultra runner keeping up with his dad.

I am writing it here so I can come back some day and say that I called it!

I can’t wait to see what this soon to be 8yr old does next!
