Nine is Fine!

We got to celebrate Colter's Birthday (July 10th) at the Family Reunion! Daddy lit the candles and we all sang Happy Birthday too him. It was so fun to celebrate with Grandpa Larry and so many aunts, uncles, and cousins!

Happy Birthday Dear Colter!
Here are all the kids lined up waiting for cake and ice cream...
Ready to open presents...
Walkie Talkies are always a hit with nine year old boys...

Someone thought it would be very neat to have their own tent just like their big sister! Someone was very happy to get their very own tent for their ninth birthday!
Colter set up his tent several times over the last few weeks... outside, in the basement, and in our livingroom. But, it just hasn't worked to sleep in it yet.

So, today was his birthday celebration day with Grandma Judy and Grandpa Steve. Finally tonight he is getting to sleep outside in his tent in their backyard. It was cute to see his tent, Kyla's tent, and Grandma and Grandpa's tent all set up in their back yard tonight when we left. It's a real backyard camp-out happening! Hopefully they're all getting snuggled in right now for the night...

goodnight,
Alison

I know an almost 8 year old boy that would get along real good with Colter! Happy 9th birthday to him.

Happy 9th birthday, Colter! Nine is an awesome age. I'll bet the tenting will be remembered forever.

Dear Ali,
Aw! Nine is great... my brother just turned 10 and this age range is so fun. He can keep his tent tho... I'll sleep in the house!
