Cavan recently celebrated his eighth birthday with a sleep over with three good friends! The highlight of the evening was our time “jumping” and “jamming” at a local fun palace for kids. So after all the fun of running around, climbing on every apparatus, throwing and shooting each other with rubber balls, and playing electronic dodge ball, you’d think they’d be pretty worn out when we got home, right?
Of course not, we’re talking about healthy high-energy boys here! In fact, they were so ready for more action that they declined my offer to stop for ice cream, and instead wanted to head straight home to open presents and play! So the fun continued and we had a great evening of Lego-building, car racing (Lego cars that is) and of course, the evening wouldn’t have been complete without the viewing of the all-time classic sci-fi flick, Star Wars!
The next morning I spent most of my time next to the toaster oven where I cooked, no joke, 20 waffles between the five of them! I started thinking about how we’ll probably need to get second jobs to pay for groceries come the teen years -- haha!!
The best part of the celebration was being able to worship the Lord together that morning and see the boys having such a great time singing praises to the Lord and learning more about God's Will for our lives.
We praise God for the “joys of boys” and are so grateful to Him for entrusting us with two sweet and loving guys – Cavan and Aidan! Happy birthday, Cav, you are a precious gift from God!! We love you, Mom and Dad!

Happy birthday, Cavan! It looks like you had bushels of fun!
Sounds like you planned the best birthday party ever! Happy Birthday Cavan. You are sooo blessed to have parents who love the Lord (and love to "spoil" you).
