a guy turns nine

 Happy Birthday, Mister!

You're going to be so good at being nine!

 It was a great party at the lake--ice cream cake doesn't get any better, lots of family, lots of cousins, tubing and swimming and everything.

 Here are a couple cute pictures from the past.   I love them.  I love you.

Yes indeed, doing your own face painting--

Happy Birthday, sweet beautiful guy.

We're lucky having you. The whole family is better with you in it.

Love forever, Grandma and Grandpa
