Jaxon is 7!!!

I think that time flies a little bit faster every day. I cannot believe that my sweet baby Jaxon is already 7!!!!!!!!!!! It feels like it was only yesterday our lives were forever blessed when our sweet little guy made his way (two weeks late) into the world. He has taught us more about life and love in the past seven years than all of our other years combined. He challenges us, delights us, makes us laugh, fills us with love, lights up our days and make our hearts burst with pride and joy every single day. We thank God each and every day for trusting us and blessing us with such an amazing young man.

His "real" birthday fell on a Thursday so it was a pretty busy one. We started out the morning with batman pancakes and he got to open a couple of presents before school.

At school they celebrated him in chapel with a birthday song and birthday blessing. We joined him for lunch and with his favorite pizza and came back at the end of the school day to sing happy birthday with his class and hand out batman cupcakes. Yum! I'm sure all of the parents appreciated the blue icing. (sorry y'all! lol) He had his first ever baseball practice that afternoon and then got to go out to a dinner of his choice. His first choice was the peanut place (TexasRoad House) and then he decided he was too tired and starving to wait so he picked his second favorite... Golden Corral. He cracks me up. Not exactly where I was hoping he would pick, but he had a blast and loved it and that is what is important.

In true LaRue fashion we celebrated big with our sweet friends and family. Jaxon is loved by many and we are all so blessed to have you all in our lives. Thank you for helping to make his big day special and memorable.

I tried my hand at cake baking and decorating for the first time. Ive always done cupcakes/cake balls etc.. but this was my first experience without any help at a layered birthday cake. I think it turned out pretty good and he loved it!

We had batman building stations, a create your own mask/cape station,a face painting station,  a little corner to read a batman book, and all of his figurines and action figures out for the little super heroes to play with. I think the favorite activity were the ping pong poppers and bad guy shooting gallery. It was crazy but they had fun!

He has such an amazing group of friends. I adore each and every one of them and feel so lucky to  have them in our lives.
