He woke up to balloons, streamers, and 1 present to open in the morning! I spent the rest of the morning decorating his Birthday cake! He loved his cake and thought I was awesome! I think it turned out okay!I have never claimed to be a cake decorator!
Uncle Royal called and asked if he could get him a his 1st Red Ryder BB Gun! I love guns and claim to be a pretty good shot! So I said yes. Royal wrapped it and brought it out into the living room. William turned to me with BIG eyes and says Mom Uncle Royal got me a gun. I was shocked he knew. I go, no he did not! Why would he get you a gun? You are only 8 years old that is crazy talk! So as soon as it came time to open Royals present he was so excited to see it was indeed a gun! Of course the phrase "You'll shoot your eye out" came to my mind. I love guns and have a respect for them. I plan on instilling this love and respect for guns into my boys. Uncle DJ got him his target and out the door they went! I had tears in my eyes watching Royal and DJ showing him his gun and teaching him how to use it. William hit the target and was so excited! I can't believe how fast this past 8 years have gone. I hope to enjoy the next 8 years with this little man!
He had a wonderful Birthday thanks to everyone! I look forward to seeing everyone again at the baptism! I love you William! This week has been hard on me my babies are turning 8, being chased by girls, rolling over, moving into big girl beds and wearing size 4 pants! They are growing up so fast!

I can't believe how fast they have grown myself. It's amazing how fast time flies by. I have learned through my sisters that I need to treasure each day with my little ones cause one c=day you'll wake up and they won't be so little.
I was trying not to cry when he was blowing out his candals. Eight is such a special time for a child. Will has gotton so tall, he looks like a young man and he can hold a conversation. I'm so proud of him!!
You think time fly by. Just be the Grandma watching it all. Hard to believe he is 8! I don't even want to think abou the fact that I am almost...not quite the mother of a thirty year old!
I am not that old yet! I have 1 year and 2 months left until that awful day......
