jeb's 10th birthday.

Jeb is 10. I can not believe how quickly the time went. Wasn't he just born? Amazing that a decade has past and I can't imagine my life not knowing him. He is such a fun person to be around and it is truly a joy and privilege to be his mom. This year was his turn for a friend birthay party (we alternate years between family parties and friend parties) and what a great year to have a bunch of boys over. Jeb's friends and Nerf guns have been his life lately and he was in 7th heaven to have a full day to spend with his favorite people doing his favorite things.

Look at all these cute guys!

This is all the guys giving their meanest, toughest, hardest looks.... still pretty cute!


He had a great time playing Nerf, eating pizza and cupcakes, killing a pinata, and of course, opening gifts. His friends know him well and really spoiled the heck out of him.


Even Griffin got to invite some buddies to the party. He was pretty excited about that.

They all had a blast and, man oh man, this was a good group of boys. A very fun party!

Ten things I love about Jeb:

1. He can hold a great conversation about just about anything.

2. He is very compassionate and thoughtful towards others.

3. He is passionate about the things he loves.

4. He is extremely family oriented.

5. He is a great friend.

6. He has become confident and secure with who he is.

7. He has a lady killer smile complete with dimples.

8. He is helpful and likes to cook. What a catch he'll be!

9. Not a day goes by that he doesn't stop and ask if I'm " having a hard day." He wants to make sure I'm happy. SO kind.

10. He is funny and can make me laugh. Some of the things he comes up with make me scratch my head at where he gets it!

Happy birthday, Jeb! I love you! May this year be the greatest year yet of your sweet, little life!
