HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY TO AUSTIN.....
I can't believe my baby boy is 6!! I am freaking out about it a little. I kept telling him that we were just going to skip his birthday so he could stay 5 and quite getting bigger, but it came and went and he loves being 6. He is one of the last of his friends to turn 6 so getting older for him is a big deal. He told me he has to keep getting older so he can turn 8 and get baptised and then turn 19 so he can go on a mission. He is too smart for me.
He really wanted a soccer player cake and Aimee and I looked everywhere for soccer dudes to make his cake with. Just when I thought all was lost we were driving home (a different route than ever before) and we passed by a little party store that had just the right thing for decorating a soccer player cake. Austin was so happy. I did feel bad that we didn't get to break open his soccer pinata but the fireworks made up for it.
Austin kept asking all evening if it was time for fireworks or not. We had to remind him that it has to be dark for it to be really cool and in Utah it doesn't get dark forever. Poor guy had to wait till 9:30 or so to finally get to see his birthday fireworks. Thanks to cousin Brady for helping out.
Of course, the love to watch the fireworks but they hate the loud noises they make, it scares them for some reason. I have to admit, I hate really loud noises too, so I must have passed that on to both of my boys. Can you tell?
My darling, sweet Austin is getting bigger and bigger. I can't stand it. He sure is a joy to have in our family though. I couldn't have asked for a better oldest child to lead the rest of the siblings in the right path. He isn't ever a problem and is the sweetest kid around. He never fails to take care of me when I need him to and has really stepped it up with this sensitive pregnancy in helping around the house and just making sure I feel okay. I mostly love his cuddles and hugs. They are worth more than gold.

Happy 6th Birthday Austin!!
He is a looker that one. I was reading your email and the kids were all over me and I said, "I'm reading an email from Share Bear." and Porter stops bugging and says "Share Bear!" all excited and understanding of why I needed some quiet time to read it. Anyway, you're a GREAT mommy! Austin is lucky to have you.
I love that he calls me Share Bear, I still laugh thinking about him calling me that when I was out there.
happy, happy birthday share Bear Dear. Happy days will come to you all year. If I had one wish then it would be, a Happy, Happy Birthday to you from me.
