B-Dog's Birthday........and everything else I have missed!

Wow, I have really slacked this past month as far as my blog goes.. It certainly isn't because we haven't been up to much, just do to my lack of wanting to sit at the computer! In addition, I lost (or shall I say misplaced) my camera cord that connects to my computer, but finally found it today! Yeah!!!


First and most important is that last week we celebrated Britton's 7th birthday! He has been anxiously awaiting this day probably since the day after he turned 6, so needless to say on April 4th, 2009 he was very excited to start the day. We left it up to him as to how he wanted to celebrate his birthday and he chose to go to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. This is one of Britton's favorite places to go. We had a very fun day, as they had added two new exhibits since we had been there in January, the Expedition Health, and the Weather Unleashed Exhibit. He was in heaven. Britton loves everything science- he and Blake went to the IMAX while I took the girls to the kid friendly places. He kept saying, "This is the best birthday ever!"

I can't believe he is seven! Britton has always been a curious boy with a huge imagination. I love that about him. He also has a very cute sense of humor and one thing I love about him getting older is how adult like our conversations can be. He asks questions about EVERYTHING and expects more than a one word answer. He wants DETAILS!!! I love going into Britton's classroom and seeing him "in action." He is such a great kid and such a nice friend to his peers. Britton is also a great older brother. He takes his job of "being the man of the house" when Blake is gone, very seriously.

Two funny things that Britton has said lately that I have wanted to write down so I don't forget- Whenever Abby is in diva mode (see earlier post), Britton tends to get a little annoyed. A few weeks ago he looked at her and said, "Abby, quit acting famous." Apparently he knows what famous people act like and he doesn't want his sister to do that! Last weekend we went skiing and stopped at a park after..Britton wanted to go hiking (did I mention he never stops moving?) I said to him, "Aren't you tired- we just skiied the whole day and you didn't take one break!?" He looked at me and said, "Mom, I guess I should tell you I store action- in case I need it later. So I used some action skiing, but I now have more stored for hiking. " Wow!!!!

And last but not least- Britton finally lost a tooth!!! I can't tell you how excited I am that I don't have to hear about how he is the only one in his class that hasn't lost a tooth!
