It's Your Birthday!

My little man, Ikes

     Today my little Bubba turned 10.  Seems like just yesterday he was born, and now he's half way out the door! He is a joy to have in our home and we are so grateful to have a boy in between our girls.  Izaak is a peacemaker and rarely has a bad day.  He wakes up in the morning with a smile on his face, and usually goes to sleep again with another smile.  We are so grateful that our "difficult" baby turned out to be such a great kid!  He is daddy's little buddy and mommy's little helper.  And we hope and pray that he will never outgrow his adoration for us.  He loves hunting, fishing, football, and baseball.  We love this kid and know that he is growing up to be a fine young man.

Some interesting conversations while driving in the car with Ikes:
Ikes: "Hey mom, what's growing in that field?"
Mom: "It's wheat."
Ikes: "What???!!!  Isn't that illegal???!!!"
Mom: "It's not WEED.  It's WHEAT, Silly Boy."
Ikes: "Whew.  That would be a lotta weed."  

Ikes: "Hey mom, why does this part of your arm jiggle?"  He grabs the relief society fat on my arm while asking, and then proceeds to jiggle it.  Then he grabs his own arm where there is no relief society fat and says, "Mine doesn't jiggle."
Mom:  "Please don't ever do that again while I'm driving."  And then I laughed so hard I almost peed. 

We love you, Ikes!
