Truitt turns Six!

Truitt turned 6 last Saturday and he had a blast! He and J went to a movie,Tru's choice of course, and then later that day before his beach party J's surprise arrived...a limo truck! It was favor from someone J knows from work a very kind favor. So Tru and J got to ride all over town picking Tru's friends who were coming to the party. I met them at the beach with the other parents and set up before they got there. Thankfully I had help from a few good friends because I had the twins and supplies. Once the kids got there the party was on...nothing like a beach party right? It went really well I think. We did have a few party crashers. Apparently cupcakes and open juice is an invitation for honey bees, but all in all it was great. The most important thing was that Tru had a good time...

I have more pictures but my computer is doing weird stuff right now so these will have to do. It's so hard to believe our boy is six years old! My how the time goes. We love our Truitt!

{A Moment Past}

I thought it only appropriate to post a past picture today because our Tru is turning six tomorrow! So I dug through my pictures and I found one of my favorites...

Oh my sweet sweet boy!

Memory Lane Monday

Oh my goodness! August is really here and with that brings birthdays in our house. For some reason we have a lot of family who share August as their birth month, including Tru and I. I was looking at our soon to be 6 year old in total amazement today and wondering where has the time gone! His baby looks have almost disappeared and what's left is this long legged little boy. He is really coming into his own. He has such a great personality and sense of humor. He's always thinking, he is an awesome big brother, and a real helper to me! Am I sounding a little partial, that's what a mom is for, right? I'm so grateful to have him as our son. I was looking at some of our old pictures and found this one:



A straight on face shot of Tru. Those sweet baby cheeks! I remember when I took this picture...I was working full time and I took my vacation to work on potty training him. I so enjoyed being home with him and the week off only fueled my desire to be home full time with our boy. It is amazing how the Lord meets the desires of out hearts when we let him handle our circumstances...but that is a story for another day.
