One Decade

 Can't believe Clayton is 10 years old today!  Here he is for his birthday breakfast this morning.  Clay had a fun party last weekend with some great friends from school.  I laughed to see them all together-they are total BOY, goofy, mischievous, fun-loving, adventurous, and hilarious!  In the photo below, I did not ask them to do a "silly" picture, but this is how they posed. Sam, Aaron, Clay, Alex, and Atticus.

 

 Jeff took them to Holliday Park for a Treasure Hunt, complete with 9 poems Jeff had written. The boys had a blast figuring out the clues and then running to the next destination.

 Clay was "directing" the choir as we sang "Happy Birthday" to him. He asked for molten lava chocolate cakes, so that made the candles a bit of a challenge as they began to sink into the "lava."  He loved every minute of that party!

Clay is a great big brother to Emma and the boys, a hard worker, conscientious, responsible, and adventurous.  He loves to read and remembers all kinds of facts.  He asks good questions, like the other day, "Mom, how much does sin weigh?  Did you know that Jesus had the weight of the sins of everyone on Him when He died on the cross?  I bet each sin weighs at least a pound...That would be SO hard."  I love the way his mind works.

We're cheering you on, Clayton Scott, as you move into this next decade and your teenage years unfold! You're the BEST!
