Makai Turns Six

i know i say this every year with every one of my boys

but i'll say it again,

makai has grown up way too quickly.

when did he turn into a full size boy?

this year has proven challenging for makai

but there is one talent that jevan and i have noticed that makai possess.

makai has determination.

he will try and try and try at something until he feels he has achieved that.

he doesn't give up when something is too hard and challenging for him,

he keeps on at it until he accomplishes it.

he probably gets it from his dad.

this boy is so caring and fits the older brother role perfectly.

makai loves routine and he loves adventure.

he is very competitive 

- another thing we discovered about him this year.

and that drives him to be the best he can be.

he eats the same thing every day 

- which is awesome for me.

so naturally for his birthday he requested french toast for breakfast,

pizza for lunch and hamburgers for dinner.
(he LOVES his carbs.)
his school treat was marshmallow pops,

his birthday adventure was spent at playtime,

and he was in his element.

we finished it off with ben and jerry's ice-cream and a happy birthday song.

his birthday wish this year is that he will hopefully start to lose his teeth !
happy birthday to my beautiful kaikai,

who will always be a baby to me.
