Happy Birthday Gunner!!

Happy Birthday Gunner...we love you so much!! It's crazy to think he is already ten!! I remember bringing him home from the Hospital on Father's Day weekend and it was just the four of us. When Gunner was a baby he had colic pretty bad until he was about nine months old and then after that he was the sweetest baby and child and still is today. He is very easy to have around and his personality is such that he attracks people to him. For the most part his a calming force among our kids- except for the fact that with age he is turning into some what of a tease- but the girls do love him and enjoy playing with him. It was so sweet the other night (after some very busy days) Nicole said "Gunner it feels like I haven't seen or talked to you forever...I'm so glad we have a few hours to spend time with each other until we go to bed" I thought my heart might melt. I'm so blessed and grateful they love each other so much! I love the sleepy eyes they all have!!
Gunner wanted to go Ice Skating for his birthday party so Thursday I took 10 boys out to the skating rink in Chandler for a party which turned out to be a great idea!! It was something different than swimming (which is what we usually do since he has a June b-day) and the boys had a blast!! There was one execption...one of his friends, Christian, had litterally been on the ice for 30 seconds when he fell and split his eye open!! I was video taping the boys entering the ice and all of a sudden I hear screaming. I look to see who it was...hoping and praying it wasn't one of mine...only to find my nephew Ben helping Christian to his feet. He was holding his head and when he took his had away we saw the blood. I tried to remain calm for his sake and took him to the first aid room where they cleaned it up and put a butterfly bandaid on it until he could go to the urgent care with his mom. It was a bummer but other than that it turned out to be great!
I ordered a Skateboard cake from Walmart (they didn't have a Hockey one) and it turned out pretty cool.Left to right John, Robbie, Brandon, Ben, Adam, Gunner, Clark, Christian, Jason, and Jay
