Jepson's 9th Birthday!

On April 19th, my baby boy officially turned 9 and he couldn't be happier! I'm just now getting around to blogging about it and posting the pictures because.....well, that's just how I roll:)

The theme for his birthday was "How To Train a Dragon" since we saw the movie in 3D together as a family 1 week prior, and he was obsessed with "Night Fury" aka "Toothless" the dragon. It was a really cute movie, but I was reminded how old I am while watching the movie and getting motion sick...seriously?! I'm becoming my mother.

Anyways, Jepson is just a fun loving, energetic little boy who literally makes me laugh on an every day basis. It makes me sad to think this will be his last "single digit" birthday....*sigh*. Why do they have to grow up so fast?!


"Toothless" the dragon cake. It was a big hit!


He got a big boy watch.


This kid LOVES taking pictures and videos so he got a pretty sweet camera...I may have to borrow it!


And a birthday wouldn't be complete without a gift card to GameStop for the video-game lover that he is.

Funny moments

Jepson, our 9-year-old, struck up a conversation with us a few days ago and it was one of those funny little moments I just had to blog about. I have to write these things down so I don't forget, since the kids are getting older and I want to remember these things when I'm old and gray.

We were discussing our family values and our religion. We live by a set of rules that maybe most people don't adhere to. This is how the conversation went down:

JEPSON: We don't drink coffee do we mom?

ME: No, honey. Some people drink coffee, but we don't. Just like, some people smoke, but we don't. Some people swear, but we don't.

JEPSON: Yeah, just like some people are RICH, but we're not!

Todd and I were laughing SO hard! That kid kills me, I tell ya. He is so candid and funny all at the same time. Gotta love it!
