Love that smile!

One of my all time favorite things is to see this boy smile.

The same boy who didn't want to go to Disneyland...

who tends to be shy and not want attention on him...

is finding things in his now 7 year old life

that cause him to do nothing but smile!

Riding his scooter,

memorizing verses and participating at AWANA,

shooting hoops at the school,

wearing his new hat from his big friend, Rhett,

laughing with his best friend, Uncle Dan,

flying his remote control helicopter like a pro

(that is for 14 and up he'd want you to know,)

reading his new favorite chapter books,

playing with his mom's hair (since he was a baby!)

pestering his sisters,

being boys with his brother,

listening to his favorite music on his ipod,

dancing with his mom in the kitchen

(ok, that was when he was tiny and didn't have a choice...

I am trying to get him to like this now that he is older.)

helping his dad outside,

working hard to reach goals...

It is a delight to my heart to see my serious, redheaded little son

turn into a happy, still redheaded big son with a missing front tooth!

The joys of being a mother...
