Ten, 10, One-Zero, Zehn, Diez, Jyuu, Dix - No matter how you say it - He's 10 and I'm 10 days late in letting you know!

Last Wednesday Elliott turned 10! While we didn't get to celebrate much on his actual birthday, I did make the basketball Krispie pops for him to take to school. Luckily they were a hit, and he felt good about that. He also was surprised that we got him a cell phone. We recently disconnected our land line, and I just felt better knowing that he has a way to reach us if he needs to where ever he is. It has already come in very handy. I really wanted him to wait until at least middle school, but with the rules we've put into place, I'm thinking it will work out - keeping my fingers crossed!


Last Saturday, we celebrated his birthday with the family. Elliott wanted a cake shaped like a football helmet, so I decided to give it a try and make a cupcake cake. I think it turned out pretty good!

Getting ready to open presents.

Getting a gift he really wanted!


Ending the day watching the Jayhawks - unfortunately they lost to Oklahoma State. Oh well, if they had to lose, I would choose OSU - it's where Elliott was born!

Happy Birthday Elliott! We love you so much and love the young man you are growing to be.
