halfway to driving ....

we now have an 8 year old.
a full blown school kid.

So what's so great about being 8?

*officially saying goodbye to the booster seat in the van! HEY-LEY-LUIA! (only 4 in seats now :) lol

*reading chapter books to yourself in bed

*trading and collecting pokemon cards with friends

*being old enough to drive your own go kart @ craigs cruisers

*running through the woods to meet up with the neighbor kids...and being trusted to be home by dark

*playing legos (and feeling quite smug about doing the 8-12 year old kits) starwars, bakugans and gi joes

*still being young enough to read animal books and genuinely play with your little sister

Happy Birthday Austin, we love you!

a pokemon theme was requested this year

Great work on the Legos! Drew was quite impressed that Austin could now drive a Go-Kart @ Craig's.
