SEVEN

today, keith is 7. since paul's coming home friday night we decided to do the family celebration, including presents and such saturday so daddy can be there too. we still had some fun today though.

my friend april has a little girl named payton, who also just happens to be a may day baby. so we thought it would be fun to do a combined birthday celebration with her extended family and let all the kids run free, of which there were quite a few. i'm really going to miss the blue family! being at their house is kind of like being at home. there's a lot of them, and they all sing and quote movies and have so much fun. they are super cool people!

blowing out his 7 candles.

trey, brother of baby payton decided he wanted to get in on the action and help keith blow out his candles.

i'm grateful for this dude.  he's a good helper and and he loves everyone.  my grandpa clark used to say of his dog "he knows two kids of people: friends he has met and friends he hasn't."  that statement is also true of keith.  and it's one of the things i love most about him. 

so happy number seven dude!  can't wait to see what this next year holds.
