Jack ‘n Tracie

I can’t believe my little guy is 7 years old. I remember vividly being that age. What a wonderful time. The world was still full of magic, but you were JUST starting to figure some of it out. We had a great day of playing Halo and Godzilla games on the XBox and some other random fun. It was a very tiring day

Grandma Carolyn came over for his birthday too! That was quite a treat. She bought him the coolest Spiderman utility-wrist thing. It was like some kind of Batman utility belt. It had a web shooter that shot silly string (Grrr!), a Water gun, a rubber web shooter, a 6 shot missile launcher and a nerf dart shooter! We got him some cool learning toys. A motorized gear set where you can build all sorts of gizmos out of gears and pulleys and power it with a battery operated motor, and a Veterinarian playset where you can take X-Rays of dogs and perform all sorts of puppy medicine. He loved that.

We’re also picking him up a GOOD bike for once. We’ve gotten him a few bikes from the local stores only to have the fall to pieces within a week. (His last bike had BOTH tires literally explode the next day while it was just sitting in the back yard.. not even in direct sunlight, then the seat broke off after we replaced the tires. We went to Battleground Bicycle shop but they were closed on Sunday, in spite of advertising that they were OPEN in the yellow pages. (We’ll get it this weekend, on Saturday.)

We then went to Chuck-E-Cheeses and gamed our butts off and ate cake and ice cream. I love the simple times.
