Weston's Birthday: #8

Once upon a time, there was a weird kid- his name was Weston. Everyone thought he was just a little squirt, but that was only because his brother Hyrum was such a big galute.  Turns out, Weston was actually eight years old, 52 inches and 54 pounds.  That's older and taller than more than half of the 2nd graders around. It's the truth!

So, since it was Weston's birthday- not just ANY birthday, but his 8th birthday, he didn't have a big flashy party with big flashy presents but he did pick some fun things to do.  First, (his birthday was on Sunday) on Saturday, Weston and Daddy set off on an adventure by grabbing some Arby's,  riding the Frontrunner train up to Salt Lake, doing some Weston shopping at toy stores and then hitting a McDonalds before coming back home again.  All Weston's ideas.

Then we had the Adam's cousins, 

Lauren, Robby and Maama over  

for presents

and pumpkin bars (also Weston's plan). 

On the birthday morning, he woke up early (but not TOO early, thank goodness) to open more presents...

We ran with the cooking theme Weston has been liking lately what with Master Chef Jr and what not and got him some cooking supplies and a cook book.

He also got some legos.

Weston is the sweetest kid. He is also very sensitive- which can be good or bad depending on the situation.  I love that every time he prays, he says "bless us to be kind" because that is always on his mind, I think.  His big blue eyes can melt any heart- except Hyrum's, who is constantly making Weston squeal.  Weston is super great at school, learning so quickly with piano, the best friend anyone can have and always full of story after story or random imaginings about crazy things that "might" happen... We love this Weston!
