Chase

 I realized the other day how seldom I take pictures of my boys outdoors playing in the beautiful light.

I used to have to sit outside with them and I would just snap away.

They do not need me to be outside with them all the time anymore.

But I decided to follow them around and get some images of them playing in the beautiful light like when they were little.

run

Something else has changed.

They do not sit and play in the dirt in one place.

They are running 90% of the time they are outside.

There are battles to be fought, places to defend, training to be done, adventures to be had.

I love this age.

They were a little easier to photograph when they needed to hold my hand for balance though…

A Death Star, a Fireman Pole, and a 7yr old!

I now have a 7yr old!

climb

He asked for a fireman pole to be added to their fort for his birthday.

He said this way when they are fighting bad guys their are two ways to escape so he and his brother can both get away.

The Zipline and the fireman pole…

smile

I am glad he planned for this possibility.

gifts

We hauled the rest of his gifts from family up into the fort to open.

It is more fun and my brother and his wife did not have to go into our germy house(we have had colds).

bug

Thank you Mom for the scary bug thing that crawls along the floor…

deathstarcake

He requested a Star Wars themed birthday.

I looked on Pinterest for an easy cake design but all I found were elaborate creations that I could not even dream of making.

I did however find macaroons decorated like the Death Star!

So I put a little black food dye in the icing and tried my hand at it.

The dots were made with a toothpick dipped in black food coloring.

I was not sure about it at first but my son knew what it was so I calling it a success!

darthvadar

My oldest thought Darth Vadar should guard it.

eatcake

The birthday boy requested the Super Laser Dish part.

He got a real kick out of eating it.

I am excited to see what this year will bring!
