Birthday boy turned 9

 Every year, as we call it, the "decorating fairy" comes to our house the night before some one has a birthday and decorates the family room with the birthday persons 
favorite color of balloons and crepe paper.
My sister has a fun tradition that we now use in our birthday morning fun!  We drape the doorway with crepe paper, usually we put as many streamers as how old they are turning and they have to run through them in the morning for their big entrance.   The kids love it!
 This was C's big entrance,  He ran so fast that the shot was blurry;)
 I can't believe he is turning 9. 
 What a lucky little guy to be able to celebrate his birthday in
 Utah with his best friends and cousins. 
This year C wanted a I pod shuffle with headphones.  
He also got some fun laser tag gun's, lego's and a skylander. 



 We let the kids pick a fun activity to do on their birthday. 
He wanted to go bowling with his cousins and friend, but since the friend was closer to where we were staying we took him bowling.  He was so happy to spend the afternoon with his best buddy.
Instead of cake we had donuts from Dick's, one of our family favorites.

C you are FULL OF IT!
We were so blessed to have such a kind and gentle first boy!  
He is so good to his brothers and sister and is such a good example to them.
He is usually, always willing to give up what he has for someone else.  
He Loves to play soccer and is quite good at it.
He has loved learning how to play goalie this year.
We are always impressed at how he can pick up the correct intonations
 and accents at the languages he is learning. 
He is learning mandarin.
He has met so many new friends at school this year and loves to be with them.
He has started scouts in Shanghai and loves it.
He has enjoyed reading and watching some of the Harry Potter books.
His favorite foods to eat are dumplings, pizza and popcorn with coconut oil.
He is quick witted.
He is good at math and reading.
He loves to ride his rip stick.
He was saving up for a hamster, once he had all the money he needed, he decided he didn't want to sink all of his money into something that might die.
He currently still has his money and is hamsterless.
He loves to watch the Discovery channel.
He loves to try exotic foods....chicken hearts, jelly fish, fish eye, octopus, bull frog.
It is so funny to me that he doesn't like processed foods like graham cracker's, cheese cake or moon pie's, but give the kid a skewer of chicken hearts and he is a happy man.
C is so much fun.  We just love having him be apart of our family!
