Covin's 6th birthday!

So I will have to play catch up! It has been a while and it will take a while. Most important is that my not so little boy just turned 6 on the 30th (yesterday)! I accidentally scheduled myself to work so we planned his party for Saturday. The day of his birthday I was supposed to be at work at 6 am so I made arrangements for me to go in at 7am. I was sad I wanted to see him that morning. So I got up and made him scrambled eggs, toast, and chocolate milk. I put a candle in his toast so he could blow it out! I thought it was a cool thing but I was wrong it was waaay to early for that bright of a light!!!!
So lucky for me Covin made his birthday this year somewhat easy on me. He wanted blue plates, blue napkins and a number 6 cake!!! So with the money we didn't spend on party supplies we took all the kids bowling! He wanted a new bike and that is what he got. He is so rough on bikes. Steven taught him how to ride a bike when he was 3 1/2 and he has been trashing them ever since.

Covin so happy with his new bike!!!

Carsen, Rylan, Covin, and Landen

All of these kids and most of their parents made time to come and celebrate Covin's big day....he was so excited.

Covin and his Number 6 cake. It looks way better in the picture. It was hard to see what it was supposed to be. We are so grateful for that everyone took the time to come and be with Covin for his birthday. It is crazy every year how many people care about my kids!

The morning of Covin's birthday I asked him if he felt like he was 6......he looked at me and said "Oh Ya!!!" He has been looking forward to his birthday for about 6 months now. He is such a good kid, I know we take that for granted. He cannot wait to grow up. He talks everyday about what he will be doing when he gets bigger. So far I he wants to be multiple things like: Cop, fireman, Doctor, drive race cars, fly airplanes, and be the guy that fixes stop lights when they break. He is always on light bulb patrol, if there is a light bulb out anywhere at anytime he is the first one to spot it. He is not one for germs, if you offer him a drink and you already drank out of it there is a definite no way that kid is taking a drink! He loves doing everything that his dad does. He LOVES shooting guns and going hunting (Shaffen is so happy about that)! He is a good helper when it is his own idea, he really likes helping put the silverware away out of the dishwasher. He like helping me cook and bake (when I do either of those things :)! He is the best big brother to Conner. They are hilarious to watch. His favorite food right now is Macaroni and Cheese. We had to keep asking him what he wanted for his birthday dinner because kept saying Mac and Cheese. Crazy kid! He is getting so big and is makes me sad. I cannot believe how much he has grown since he started school. Although he does good in school he can't wait to be done. I keep telling him that he has at least 15 more years of school.....I hope! :) I don't know what we would do without this kid. I am so happy he chose us to be his family!!!!

Thank you everyone who came and made his day great! We love you all!!!!
