The 3 amigos before beginning putt putt golf on Justin's birthday. Ethan, Jack and Justin along with Mason went on August 16th, which was Justin's 8th birthday. Ethan scored lowest with Jack coming in a close second, followed by Justin and Mason closing out the group. I think Ethan and Jack have had a lot more practice at putt putt than my boys have. They all had fun, which was the whole point. I spent a lot of time laughing too.
Justin wanted a home made cake this year. (yeah for mom on a budget) so I made the required chocolate cake, with chocolate frosting and happy birthday written in white frosting. (This was what he wanted). It was a good cake, enjoyed by everyone.
Justin at Putters Creek waiting his turn. Are you winking at mom or is the sun in your eye?
We came home after golfing and had hot dogs on the grill, chips and of course cake and ice cream. We sang loudly and a rather interesting version of happy birthday to Justin, who loved us just the same. Something about a monkey, a zoo and a can of spaghetti. I'm not really sure what Mason was singing.. lol. He blew out the candles with one breath and made his wish. I hope your wish comes true Justin!!!
Blowing out the candles. Huff, Puff and blow the candles out.
After lunch Ethan had to leave and go to a Tigers game, so Jack stayed and played. We ended up going to Duck Lake swimming. The waves were huge. The boys surfed and had a great time. Then they played on the dunes for a while. My memory from there is still on my left arm in the form of a nice bruise which I received after running into the rear view mirror of a Astro Van parked really close to us..
At the end of the day, which was not the usual birthday party we have had in the past with the whole family over and friends too I had a chance to talk with Justin. He said it was one of his favorite birthdays ever. This made me feel good. He hasn't done a lot of smiling lately and it was a day where I saw him smile most of the time. That was good for a mom's soul.
I love you Case. Happy birthday!!
