Oh my little boy...you have made mama smile so many times these last few weeks, you've made me smile when I didn't feel like I could, but one hug and a special kiss from you and my heart just melts, thank you Lathan, thank you for being you...without you even knowing. You are keeping mama out of a depression. You are keeping me above the water!

You are still such a little hoot! You have recently starting "singing" and it is the cutest thing EVER!!!! You still dance your little heart out to any and every song you can find... We can thank Ma for your love of music! You also still chase the doggies, wrestle with the girls, cuddle up with mama, play basketball with daddy, and you still love your books! You crack me up when you're with Kendalyn and Kassidy... it gets pretty loud and pretty hectic because you all have so much fun together...but that is what life is supposed to be about! You also are showing more interest in baby Kambree...she was crying the other day so you ran over and gave her a kiss on the head. You ran back 3 or 4 other times to give her more too...you are such a little sweetheart! You have discovered the show Chuggington - a Disney show about trains...it's a very cute show and you get really excited whenever it comes on!

We celebrated Poppy's 54th birthday this past weekend... We wanted to give him a very special day since it was his first one without Ma. We went mushroom hunting (couldn't find any) and then we had a cook out at Auntie's the next day. While Uncle Ezra cooked, you played outside with the girls. They drove you around in their power wheels... They were so nice with you though...they would drive so slow when you were riding with them. They take such good care of you. Uncle David took you for a lap on the four wheeler (going like 2mph, of course!). You had a very fun afternoon! We then went fishing later... You were very excited to be down by the water...your daddy did a great job of chasing you around so mama could fish with poppy. (We didn't catch anything there, either.) Kassidy tried to show you a worm and you almost ripped it in two pieces...Kass just looked t it and said "ummm...I don't think it's good anymore." We didn't let you touch another one. :) the night ended with Orange Leaf. It was a nice weekend but it just wasn't the same without Ma. All of us tried really hard to be happy...but it is just too fresh still.
