Happy Birthday Clay 12-2012

Happy Birthday Clayton!
Clay's Winter Fun 9th Birthday Party!
December 2012
 Winter Themed Treats
 Minute to Win it Games
These boys had a ball competing in our Minute to Win it competitions!  Who doesn't love games using marshmallows!  Their favorite game for the day was between my Snowman Bean Bag toss and Shoot the Lego man off the Red Solo Cup Tower, using Nerf Guns of course!

Winter Wonderland Cake
Hot Chocolate Bar
The Big 9 Year Old!!
Clay is such a great kid.  I know that every parent says that about their child and we all can be a bit biased about our own kin but Clay is top notch!  He has such a tender heart.  He notices if someone had a bad day and tries to do something nice for them to make it better.  Clay worries that he might get in trouble at times about the littlest things, like he was told to go a certain way back to class and he chose a different way to go and thought that might merit him a trip to the principal's office. I told him that students don't get sent to the principal's office unless they purposely did harm to someone else or possibly damaged school property, and if that happened then he should worry about the talk he will get at home, not in the principals office!!  I said this while smiling and making him laugh by tickling him to the ground and he stopped worrying.  Clay has a strong sense of doing what is right.  Every kid will make their own set of mistakes that helps them learn and grow, but it bothers Clay when he does mess up, which in perspective of things is a good attribute to have.  He keeps himself in line and tries to fix his mistakes as he goes.  Being our oldest he gets to set the example for his brothers and we get to remind me of that at times, but his brothers have a great person to look up to!  Each year he will learn new things, challenge his mom on how much she actually knows, try to out wrestle his dad, and become more and more the person he is meant to be!  
We Love you Clayton Nathaniel, Happy Birthday
