he's 7...

anthony was our last spring birthday and so we took some of his friends boating to celebrate. of course i forgot my camera in the car but i did snap a few when we were cleaning the boat and the boys were playing in the lake.

anthony is such an amazing boy. i am so proud of the young man that he is becoming. he is incredible sweet and such a great helper. he has such a tender heart for everyones feelings.
i love that he makes friends so easily.
i love that he will still play with girls.

i love that he is such a great protector over his sister and i know that he will be an awesome helper with the new baby!

i love his athletic ability. he had always been so athletic and turning everyday household things into sports related activities. recently the new babies bassinet in my room is a basketball hoop for a giant ball! just love it!
he is so responsible and so so smart. he is a great reader and superb at math. i am so grateful for how well he does in school. anthony has the most amazing 1st grade teacher and after asking her one day how anthony was doing she said to me, "if i had 23 more anthony's in my class, i would be the luckiest teacher in the whole school!" it was such a compliment.

i love you anthony and i hope you had a great birthday! we love you. xo

we also have a tradition that we go to benihana. the kids just absolutely love it! its fun because weston, anthony, and I all go at the same time for ours and they think it is so cool! we then stop and get our favorite treat bahama bucks sno cone. if you ever come to az...i will take you there.



happy birthday!
