And some yummy cupcakes.

I can't believe my baby is 9 years old!  *sniff*

Grandma, Great-Grandpa, and Aunt Naomi got you the Smash Bros. video game for your Wii U. 

At Universal Studios, you got to pick out special desserts from our resort for your birthday.  You wanted to surprise Brody with them because you are so thoughtful and wanted to share.

Brody thought it was his birthday. 

Celebrating our big birthday boy. 

You were very excited that the chocolate cake had four raspberries for each of us (minus Mattox). 

You went back to school on the Monday after your birthday so I took some Krispy Kreme doughnuts for your class.  It was also another boy's birthday and he brought cupcakes so your class got double treats.  They were all very happy and loved the doughnuts. 

Dear Evan,

I can't believe you are almost a decade old.  Sometimes, I can't believe we have been parents for 9 whole years and other times I can't believe it has only been 9 years.  We have packed so much adventure into the 9 short years of your life, and I hope you always cherish your memories of the special times of your childhood.   You have fulfilled our deepest wishes for what fun and joy parenting can be.  You have grown from a funny, smiling, and happy toddler to an independent and intelligent student and athlete.  You love school and any sport known to man.  You love playing soccer, basketball, and baseball and want to try football next in the Fall.  Mommy is going to be a nervous wreck!  You are still a great student in school and always very well behaved and get lots of good behavior awards.  You love saving up your "Hawk bucks" at school to buy special prizes or privileges.  This year, you have most improved in your reading and writing abilities, and you always get high marks in those areas and are still a great math student.  Your busy schedule keeps you from reading as much as you would like, but you still love it.  We are just so proud of you and can't wait to see what your future holds academically, athletically, socially, and spiritually.  We want you to continue to grow in all areas of your life but always keep your kind-hearted and caring personality.  I hope you enjoyed your birthday and Spring Break and that you added even more wonderful memories to your childhood!  

Love,

Mommy
