Yup, my boy is growing up. He's funny and sweet and smart, a great helper, kind to his brothers and sisters (most of the time!) and he still gives perfect hugs. He's our sporty boy and enjoys anything that requires running around and some kind of ball. This year he seems to be leaning more toward basketball, which is good because I think he's going to be tall! He thinks he's going to be taller than my by his next birthday...I don't agree, but I think he will be taller before he turns 12.
He asked for a basketball cake (thanks Melissa for the loan of your ball cake pan, we use it at least once a year!). He wants a basketball, I think perfect time to try out a pin from pinterest!
It's a piñata cake, it's pretty simple. All you do is make two layers, cut out a small place in the middle, fill with candy and then layer them together with frosting. Here're the link to the original site (and if you are pinning this, please pin the original site instead of my pictures, thanks!)
Her cake is beautiful and fun!
Farris picked out a basketball for Caleb. We're still looking for a hoop to put in our driveway, but for now he loves to go with his dad to Wednesday night basketball at the church or when I'm exercising.
We also found a shooter thing for his bey blades. He saw it at Ross and wanted to buy it sooo bad, and then we snuck behind his back and got it for his birthday!
And Wreck It Ralph (I liked this one a lot). Happy 9th birthday to our sweet Caleb!
About a week after his birthday for Cub Scouts Caleb was in the Caropolis. All the boys made a cardboard box into a car. Caleb did his all by myself and did not listen to any of my suggestions and I think he did a great job!
What a great picture of Seth Felicity took! I think it captures his personality pretty good, my goofy boy.
Ready to start the race!
In the race, there are three pit stops: Cleaning the windshield (the pit crew sprays the racer's goggles and then wipes them off), refueling (the racer drinks a cup of water) and rotating the tires (the shoes are taken off, socks exchanged feet and then shoes put back on--supposed to be on the right feet, but a lot got put on the wrong feet). The racer's pit crew was usually their siblings. Joseph was gleeful when it came to cleaning the windshield. Tire rotations proved the hardest. For some reason they couldn't get Caleb's socks on.
The cupcakes after the race were a big hit.
Caleb had to display a collection as the last thing before he got his wolf. He originally was collecting bottle caps. Basically he was walking around the neighborhood picking up water bottle caps and beer bottle caps. I discouraged both and we came up with showing his collection of LEGO men. And we made it, he's got his wolf. I'm still not up to speed about all his cub scout stuff, I'd better start paying attention I've got a couple more to go!
