Happy 8th Birthday, Maddox!

Maddox turned the big 8 this year! He was very anxious to get his day started! Gma Bobbi was here, so that made the day extra special. He opened our gift (a fit bit) in the morning, and then had a friend birthday party that night. We had his family birthday party the following Sunday!

He got a lot of great gifts: a baseball game, new clothes for the fall, a bike helmet, socks, a glow football, Terraria for Xbox, Legos, and fishing stuff. Papa Mark took Maddox to Bass Pro Shop and they found a new tackle box with all sorts of fishing lures and tackle and fishing tools. Maddox LOVES to fish so it was perfect! He has fished nearly every night in the pond since he got his own stuff!

Happy 8th birthday to my middle child! We love that God blessed us with you!!

Maddox's 8th Birthday Party- Friends

Maddox had a few of his closest Sacred Heart friends come over for a birthday celebration. We played basketball, freeze tag, some wiffle ball, and just let the kids run around and be crazy. We ate pizza and had rice krispie bars. We did not do gifts (he donated to Courage League Sports) and I did not do favors for the kids either. So, we keep it pretty simple so that we're not stressing about it all.

Maddox is finally starting to find a few friends who have similar interests as him, and a few friends who I can tell that he is connecting with. Maddox is very patient and kind to all of his friends. It's kind of fun watching him interact with them- he is a really good listener, and goes with the flow. He's also very loyal to them- he never speaks unkindly of them, or is bothered by any of their antics. He just sits back and watches the show unfold around him! It's a good quality to have!
