Happy birthday Jones!



Today is my oldest kids birthday!  It seems like just yesterday he was a tiny baby with the most adorable crying dimple.  And now he’s well on his way into boyhood.  
He delights in earth sciences, and social events.  He is interested in so many things.  He’s recently taken to playing real legos and building things.  He generates ideas for school projects and activities for us to do.  He loves playing with his friends especially active games.  
He has a crush on a older girl charlotte, who he once thought was the princess charlotte.   Despite his crush if you ask who his girlfriend is he always says Kacie (she must be his first love).
He adores swimming and has become so brave in the pool - jumping in head first.  He wants to be a dinosaur when he grows up even though he knows they extinct.  He snuggles me when he’s sleepy.  He can’t wait for ice skating and soccer to start up again and asks me almost daily if he has them.  He loves going to church and passionately believes that Jesus loves him more than ice cream. 
He misses his dad and he prays that he can get the treatment he needs.   He asks questions and is thoughtful.  He is wise beyond his years.
He still wears the same clothes from two years ago although he’s getting two tall.  He would pick tie dye everyday if we had enough tie dye.  He has wavy thick hair and my eyes sometimes blue sometimes gray and sometimes hazel.  He loves my quilts and would like to make one.
He can’t wait for family vacation, riding on a plane, and going to the beach.  He asks if sharks will be on the beach.  He brings me immense joy everyday and I delight in being his mother.
Oh Jones you are so magical.  happy birthday!
