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.
 |
| Pokemon binder and sleeves |
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! |
 |
| Thomas, Johnny, Cayben, Solee, Sofia, Shay, & Embrie |
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.
