Cayben is Nine!

Last year of being in the single digits! WHAT?! My boy is getting old!

My first born turned 9 yesterday! What a joyous time these last nine years have been. He has taught me so much in such a short time. Aww, parenthood...it's the best!

Anyway, we totally spoiled the crap out of our little man this year. Shay decided Cayben needed a mountain bike this year. (He had outgrown his other bike.) I had already purchased all of his other gifts before Shay got him a bike, so don't you be giving me a hard time for over doing it. Ha!

Last week Shay and I went bike shopping while Cayben was at school. Shay is the worst at waiting for surprises and I'm a close contender, so we gave it to Cayben as soon as he got home from school.
Notice anything strange about this? Yes, I totally misspelled my son's name and didn't realize until I took a photo. Haha! 
Simple enough fix. 


On Birthday-Eve Cayben asked to open a present early. Once again we were not good at waiting and complied.

Finally his birthday came! I gave him more kisses than he could count then sent him off to school. Then I got busy decorating so he could be surprised when he came home to this...

I could here him screaming from outside, so I knew he liked it!

We had a non-party. (We call it a non-party because Cayben didn't want a big party this year. He just wanted to celebrate with family and a couple friends. It did end up feeling a bit like a party though. Whoops! I think that's my bad.)

Mmm! Cake Pops, the best kind of cake!

Primal Groudon EX Box (Pokemon cards), Pokemon Snap Nintendo game, Build-a-Bear Pikachu, and a camping mat
He was so excited about this old school Pokemon game for Nintendo 64
He made sure to build this Lego set from Johnny as soon as he got it. I mean I had to remind the boy that his friends were over to play and the Legos could wait. Ha!
My favorite kind of Pokeball!

Oh, and he did get the ONE gift he asked for. For the past several months, Cayben has been asking if he could get $100 for his birthday. He said he didn't need any other gifts or a party, he just really wanted 100 bucks. So a money pad of one hundred dollar bills he got!

Tonight Shay and I are taking Cayben out on a kid date while the girls have a "Girls Night" with their babysitter. Then next week we're going on a mom and son date. Let the spoiling continue! You only get a birthday once a year.
