Levi’s Birthday

Posted on

Today was Levi’s 6th birthday.  I can’t believe he is already six.  He is the kid that keeps me on my toes.  Always has and I believe he always will.  Just a couple of weeks ago while at play group we lost him.  Yes that’s what I said lost him.  It was time to go home and we gathered all the kids only to find out that Levi was missing.  We search and called and looked and he was nowhere to be found.  My girlfriend Amy called Corey to see if maybe Levi headed home.  Sure enough there he was at home.  Later I asked him why he left.  He said he wanted to ride his bike so he went home.  That’s the way it is with him.  Once he has made up his mind to do something he sticks to it and does it.

Today we celebrated Levi’s birthday by throwing him a little party.  We tie dyed shirts and hit a pinata.  Then we opened presents had pizza and then ate cupcakes.  It was a beautiful day and the kids loved playing together.  It did get a little hot but luckily our neighbors tree provided enough shade for them to sit and eat.

My little boy is growing up.  I can’t believe he is going to be in 1st grade come this fall.  He is always quick to forgive and very loving.  He is always ready for a hug and isn’t grossed out by mommy’s kisses yet.  I love him so much.  Happy birthday Levi.

Summer Thunder Storms

Posted on

Something about the summer I love are the thunderstorms.  We have a really nice beautiful day and by four or five o’clock the dark clouds move in and the thunder starts to boom.  I like to sit on the porch and smell the fresh rain and watch the lightning.  I know not the safest place to be during a thunder storm and I wouldn’t recommend it.  This particular day the kids came out with me.  It was raining off and on and the lightning was far away.  Levi started to dance around and as soon as he did it started to pour.  I told him he must have a great rain dance.  He just looked at me puzzled.  Sophia joined in the dance and they had a great time.   I love evenings like this.  It’s peaceful and the kids are happy and best of all I’m happy.
