Andrew turns 9

It was pajama day at school for Ribbon Week right on Andrew's birthday - holy dream come true for that little boy!!  He had me make him an ice cream cake (again - so easy!).  We took all his friends to Nickel City in Orem and let them play arcades and spend their tickets.  Pretty easy party, but it was busy - we didn't hardly take any pictures.  We have learned with Andrew that it is best to celebrate on his actual birthday!  (waiting is much too hard)

Andrew is a great kid!  He loves hanging out with his friends and he loves video games and movies.  He's pretty easy to please when it comes to food.  He is an early riser (like his daddy) and he does really well in school.  

Here are some cute stories of Andrew recently:

- This morning, Andrew said very sincerely, "I feel bad for babies because they cannot pick out what clothes they want to wear."  I told him that babies were not the only one's that don't pick out their clothes.  I let him know that Chase & Cole's mom lays out what clothes she wants them to wear everyday.  In utter shock and terror he said, "Everyday?!  Mom, please tell me that you will NEVER do that to me!"
- After hearing that Aunt Ally would likely be in labor for 8+ hours, he said, "I know what I should be grateful for.  I am grateful I am not a girl."
- Andrew wasn't able to go to sleep one night because he felt so happy.  He was happy about the fact that Kendall played the wii with him before bed and that they "got good with a new guy".
