Here we are, leaving the hospital with Aaron.
This is Aaron at 1 week old
(I know it's not the greatest picture. We didn't have a digital camera at the time,
and we just have a few scanned photos for me to chose from.)
Today we celebrated with a party in the park - with friends, games, water balloons, root beer floats, and cake. (in case you can't tell - the cake is a ZOO. (I should have forgone on the colored sprinkle walkway, since it muddies up the overall look, but Aaron loved it, and that's really all that matters! and it really did look a little better in person, but you'll just have to take my word on that one) We then had one of Aaron's favorite meals, Hawaiian Haystacks, for dinner.
This is the group of kids at todays party (minus Bryan and TJ (friend) who somehow missed being in the photo)

Since Aaron is now 8, I will tell you 8 things I love about Aaron.
1) Aaron is very creative
2) Aaron is a natural leader (not always for the right, but we are working on that)
3) Aaron loves music and has natural talent (spoken like a true mother)
4) Aaron has a fun and adventurous spirit
5) Aaron has the ability to be a wonderful and caring big brother (he may not always choose to use this gift, but he definitely has it)
6) Aaron loves animals, nature, and the world around him
7) Aaron loves to laugh and to make others laugh (not always appropriate during primary or school, but a gift none the less)
8) He is my son.
I love you Aaron and I am proud of you!
And now I leave you with a few other photos of Aaron
12 (or was it 14???) stitches after impaling his armpit while climbing to the top of a flag pole.
What a handsome boy on the first day of school last year
What a goof ball. He and Trina were turning themselves into monsters. I came into the room to find this - and NO, it was not a washable marker, in case you are wondering!
Ya just gotta love this kid! and I do.

What a crack-up - Happy Birthday!
And should you feel the need to post a recipe for Haystacks, it would be much appreciated. I had them on my mission, but that was eons ago and I can't remember what all goes in them! I only remember that it sounds horrible, but tastes great.
Thanks, too, for the sweet comments over on my blog - they were a real boost!
Aaron is such a funny kid! I hope he had a WONDERFUL birthday!
So, you'll be planning a baptism! FuN!
Sounds like a fun party! This post really made me stop and think about where I will be eight years from now. Thanks for the moment of reflection!
Happy Birthday Aaron!
What a cute little boy. Boys are just so much darn fun aren't they?
