How'd I miss it????

"Octopus or spider legs, big red stop signs too  -- Many good things come in 8, just like eight year you!"

Was logging on to add a few of the needed updates here and couldn't find Payton's 8th birthday pictures.... hmmm.  Where did they go?  Why can't I find them?  Well.... the answer could just be that they are still stored in my file labeled "Payton's 8th Birthday" in iPhoto!  Yep.  Sure enough everything was there.  So, here are a few from his birthday only 3 months late.

Payton had a pretty fun birthday.  Nothing like his Army party last year, but still it was a fun day for all of us.  His friend, Connor, went to Bounce Planet with us then came back and spent the night.  The boys set up a tent in the basement and had a blast!  The only hard part was getting them up early the next morning for church!

One of Payton's favorite presents will not be able to be "used" until August 11th... how rough is that?  Getting something that you really want, but not being able to do it or see it until 4 months after your birthday seems like a tricky thing to do to an 8 year old.  Even with the wait involved he was still happy to open his card and find concert tickets to go see Toby Mac and Chris Tomlin at the Indiana State Fair on August 11th!  The Hello Tonight tour should be an awesome show.  Payton is completely hooked on Toby Mac.  He loves to crank up the song "Jesus Freak" from Toby's DC Talk days and sing and dance along.  When we went on vacation last week, he found a hat just like the ones that he wears and of course, he just had to have it.  He pulls it off pretty well and has received many compliments on it.  I'll post a picture of it later.

Ready to open his presents!

All Smiles!
