Well my friends the big day has finally arrived. Little Buddy is officially 10! We have been counting down the days forever, well at least since last birthday. He had a wonderful day and the fun continues. He took cupcakes to his camp and shared them with all his friends. He got to wear this super cool shirt given to him by his Medical Foster Mother, Jeannette, who he lived with for over 2 years after he was discharged from the NICU .
He finally got to download the game Roblox on his iPad. He got all sorts of presents and books including two $10 bills in the mail! This boy loves to count money so now he thinks he is rich! He also got a Roblox gift card so he feels he has his own credit card now. Oh boy, I had better watch out!
You never know which present will really make his day. He wanted a V-Tech watch even though he had one a few years ago. He kept asking me how much money I had in my wallet and when I told him $15 repeatedly he was very concerned I would not have enough to buy him the watch. Once he actually asked me what I was spending all my money on and that I needed to stop buying things for myself. Oh, like that happens a lot! The stuffed Creeper from Minecraft and a remote control Sonic the Hedgehog on a skateboard seemed to be his favorites, you just never know so you better have some variety. We ate Tacos, his current favorite and had cake. Today he opened another present from Ms. Rachel who was his assistant for years. Sunday we will have the big boys and their significant others over for cake and maybe a few more presents. This birthday has already lasted a week!
The fur brothers were exhausted from all the fun. They had to relax while we read Diary of a Minecraft Zombie, book 7.
And just because this is rare I had to share with you a photo of all my boys, big and little. This was taken on Father's Day. Yes they live close but are not often here at the same time. It was nice to see the big boys spending time playing with the little one. They love him but sure are busy with their lives. It warms my Mom heart to see them together.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Wow! The birthday boy sure received some fun presents; I particularly liked the shirt! I also love the idea of celebrating for a week. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday week! It looks like a wonderful day. I love seeing the photo of all your boys.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mr Buddy Boy!! It sounds like quite a birthday. That shirt is really cool but my favorite photo by far is the last one of all of your boys. You are one blessed Mama and they are the luckies boys in the world to have you on their team.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and love,
Betsy
Happy Birthday dear Lil Buddy! Happy Birthday to you! Keep celebrating. I love to see All of your boys together in the pool! of Course! Sounds like great presents were chosen and money. IF he's excited for money...he's growing up. STOP!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, LB! 10 is so special. Such a great photo of your three boys.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo of all your boys. It certainly sounds like a busy week filled with lots of fun. Happy birthday to Little Buddy.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a brilliant day, well done you! And I love that last photo too, I know from experience how hard it is to get three boys in a picture together. He had some lovely presents, and his comments about you spending money on yourself made me laugh. I hope you all have a lovely weekend. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteHappy happy birthday to Little Buddy ...10years old is an important age! How lucky to celebrate for a whole week and gifts galore...super fun! Gorgeous pool photo with big brothers. Enjoy! Amanda x
ReplyDeleteThat is a precious photo of all your sons. They are a handsome trio.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your new 10-year old! How the heck did that happen? I'm sure there are days when you feel that it happened all at once. LOL
LB no longer looks like a little boy - so big! My granddaughter *loves* Roblox (she is 10 too), but now is interested in chess, so we are going to the chess club today. You never know where their interests will travel.
ReplyDeleteWell, this is a post that warms my heart in every way possible! Double digits! Happy Birthday to Buddy. It sounds like a wonderful day, well spent and with loads of fun presents to enjoy for days/weeks/months to come! I especially love the photo of the three boys. Makes me happy!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Little Buddy! He is wise to celebrate for a whole week at least! The first double digit birthday is extra special. I laughed about his comment that you should stop spending so you would have enough money to buy his watch! Totally a viable solution. . . .LOL
ReplyDeleteReally great picture of the Boys! Little Buddy is lucky to have such big brothers to look up to.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteWow, he sure maxed out on his 10th birthday! Happy Birthday Little Buddy. Jo x

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful birthday!. That shirt is awesome but I know as a mom that your favorite picture had to be the one with all of the boys.
ReplyDeleteMany blessings and HUGS,

Great photos. Buddy says the funniest things. You write about him so well. The dogs look fabulous, as always. Sounds like a fantastic birthday...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday X ten!
ReplyDeleteMy 10 year old grandson would love to do Roblox with him, I'm sure!
Meredith, Happy Birthday to you! Hope you have a terrific year filled with fun, good health, and lots of love!
ReplyDeleteEven though I am late to the party I am celebrating the 10th birthday of your dear youngest son, Meredith! I can imagine the fur brothers were exhausted from all the fun :) ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Little Buddy is so grown up now. 10! How did that happen? Happy Birthday to both of you. CN x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photograph of your boys together in the one place at the same time. Those motherly feelings of having all of your offspring together and enjoying each other's company is something that words cannot explain but I understand the deep feelings. One of my bunch is now living many kilometres away and the others who are still at home are barely here for a full day - such a busy time in their young lives.
ReplyDeleteThe main thing is that they are all happy and well and stay connected. It is so nice to catch up on your news and see happy images of precious family togetherness. :-)
Congratulations! You've done amazing things with this boy, you are my hero.
