9 is SOOO fine

Liam is a mover and a shaker.  It seems like I never really comment on Liam here in this forum (middle child syndrome), but its not because I don't love the little rat- its just that I can almost never catch him.  He is in constant motion.  So it's no surprise that him turning 9 snuck up on us.  Where did the time go?

His birthday always conicides with the end of the school year.  Last year his birthday actually was on the last day of school which can make planning a birthday party a little tricky.  Hence the creation of "Windy Cactus", an opportunity to take advantage of Memorial Day weekend with great friends and do a little birthday celebrating.  This year, we took full advantage of the holiday as did a wonderful group of our friends to partake in a little dirt, a little wind, and a very special little man.

Bacon and French Toast to start a man's day


After a hearty man's meal (carb-ing and syrup-ing up for some riding) we were off to Fruita.  Joined this year by the High-Ridges, the Browns, and new additions the Coryells and Halsteads.  

I have really pretty friends
Pizza of course, and biking to boot!

SOOOO dirty

Happy Happy Day little man.  There are so many things we love about you- but mostly how even when you aren't willing to show it, we know for certain that you care deeply about us and all your friends.  You play, and fight, and work and love so fiercely.  Nine years of living every day with the biggest heart.  Know that we love you big too!
