MARCH 8th

Around here, March 8th is officially

"Troy's Day"

My little boy turned 6 years old this year.

The night before his big day, he begged for just one present. Since I bought him a new pair of pajamas, we thought it would be fun to let him open them and sleep in them that night.

All 3 boys slept in Troy's room trying to catch

the Balloon Fairy.

They were all set up with flashlights and a notebook to draw a picture of her.

I walked in to say goodnight and overheard this conversation:

Carter: "Wonder if she is small like Tinkerbell?"

Troy: "No, how would she carry all the balloons if she was small?"

Carter: "Because she is magic."

Troy: "Good thinkin' Carter! You're smart Carter!"

Since Troy was sick, I decided to take him to the doctors that morning. Good thing I did. He had double ear infections and his lung weren't sounding all that good. I also had the doctor look at Blakley, she also had an ear infection. So they are both on antibiotics.

We decided to postpone Troy's party that night until they felt better. My parents did invite us over for dessert. She had made Troy's favorite.....English Toffee. Thanks Mom! And of course we had his favorite ice cream, Rainbow Sherbet.

We told Troy to lift up his shirts for a picture.

Of course Carter lifted up his own:) That's my Carter!

Blakley loved what Troy got:)

Looks like the next Basketball Star in our family!

Troy was so excited to go back to school and handout his Birthday Treats (ring pops) to his class. He got to wear this birthday crown and STAND on a chair while the class sing Happy Birthday. He was pretty excited about getting to stand on a chair in class.

My little Troy Troy.

We love you so much and are so glad that you are in our family. You bring so much happiness to our home. You are such a sweet little boy always thinking of your brothers and sister's feelings. You have such a huge heart. You are always telling everyone that you love them. Thank you for being such a great kid.

XOXOXOXOXO
