Happy Birthday Danny

So this is one of my favorite days of the year, it is Danny's birthday.  Today he is 9 years old, which I cannot believe.  Nine years ago I was so ready to meet and hold my little man.  Nine years ago I learned that it was possible to hold your heart in your hands.  Nine years ago I knew that every moment would be cherished.  Nine years ago I knew that being a mom was all I ever wanted.  I still cannot believe that it has been nine years, they have been amazing and I know that all of the years to come will be amazing too.  He is growing into such an unbelievable young man, and I thank God for him everyday. 
We surprised Danny this morning with a new bike!  He really needed one and he was so excited.  It is sharp and he is doing great with it.  We went on and got a mountain bike for him so he is still learning the gears, but he will get it and I am sure it will happen quickly like everything else seems to.

Danny has been waiting for his birthday to fall on a weekend so he can have his party on his birthday and this year he got it.  We had his party at the pool.  It was so nice.  I hated that invites had to go out via text and facebook, but it was short notice because I did not want to send them out in case something happened with the closing.  His party was great, he had a great  turn out with family, friends, ball team members, and school friends.  I was so happy for him and he seemed to have so much fun and that is what matters most.  It was hot today so I cannot think of a better place to be than a pool.  The kids and adults managed to fill up the pool and the kiddie pool, which was just awesome.  I love it when everyone has a good time.  There was no cake left thank you so much Amy, for the amazing cake that tasted as good as it looke (as always).

After the party we headed to the house to change, and Danny wanted to open his gifts.  We also hung out with our nephews and just had a good time.  Amy and Terry and the kids stayed for dinner.  Danny wante chicken and dumplings and since it is his birthday I was not going to argue.  After dinner we headed back to the pool to swim and make sure we had cleaned everything really well and all that.  It was a lot of fun.
