All Things Nine Years Old.

It's a hard thing when you turn nine years old...you wake up in the morning still feeling eight...and then...BAM!!...Mama announces she's going to take you out of school today...there are homemade chocolate chip waffles cooking...and you are surrounded by the people you love!

Auntie Daphne and Maka made it into town...and the festivities began the very next day...cannot believe that my oldest is now ::NINE::!!!...when did that happen?? What time warp have I stepped into??

Alex's wish was to go back to Carson Valley Swim Center...so we did...

Auntie Daphne tried the slides!...and loved them...

When we finished with swimming...Alex requested that we have an early dinner at Old Reds 395...a yummy barbecue place in Carson City...if you're even in town, please, check them out...awesome steak, salads and in good food in general.

And then it was time for the cake...a soccer theme this year...Baskin Robbins ice cream cake...I talked him into Oreo ice cream...he would've wanted plain vanilla...I know, I know...bad mommy!

Auntie Daphne did the honors in lighting nine candles...plus one for good luck...

A wish was made...helped along by his two little sisters...

mmmmmmmmm....yummy!!

He got his wish...a Nintendo DS...and some games...and the Spiderwick Illustrated Field Guide from his sissies...he's obsessed with the Spiderwick books...love it!

And the evening ended on a quiet note...a storm front was blowing some flakes around...my Spring Baby has turned nine...and the daffodils are still in bloom...all is right with the world...

Wishing you a moment just like that...where all things fall into place...just for a moment.
