Caleb Turns EIGHT

On July 5th, Caleb turned 8 years old.  I can’t believe it’s been 8 years since we welcomed him into our hearts.  He’s turning into such a wonderful young boy, and we love him so very much and are so very proud of him.
On his actual birthday, we invited his friend Kaleb over to spend the night.  They played with NERF guns, watched movies, swam in the pool, and just had fun.  We ordered pizza for supper and had a small cake from Publix. 
On Saturday, the 9th, we had his birthday party.  Since we had gotten the pool, he decided on a pool party.  We also rented one of the Wet/Dry Slides from a local party place.  It was a HUGE hit and worth every penny.  I think Caleb would venture to tell you this was his “best birthday party” ever.   
Here are some pictures from his birthday and the party.

Evidence that he actually ate some…PROGRESS

I didn’t take as many pictures as I typically do, but that’s okay…everyone had a BLAST!
