James Turned 8

James turned 8 years old yesterday! Happy Birthday Baby James! Definately no baby anymore but that's what we all used to call him. My boys always give me a culinary challenge when it comes to their birthday cakes.....James' request was a Reese's Peanut Butter Cake w/ Brownies. So.....I found Reese's Brownie Mix and used that on the bottom with a butter cream cake layer, then layered the brownie and cake again. Iced with CoolWhip and topped with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. It sounds and looks better than I thought it tasted....it was alittle overload if you ask me. But he's the birthday boy!
He spent some of his birthday money on a Lego Star Wars 2 game for his gameboy and the opening of Prince Caspian was last night so Matt took the boys and acouple of James' friends to see it.
Happy Birthday James! We love you! You are such a huge help, so responsible and such a sweet big brother to all your younger siblings. You're so full of energy, excitement and so easy to enjoy!!

Happy Birthday James! I remember when you found out you were having him. Remember Easter dinner right after you found out you had placenta previa? I remember you crying and saying "Why does this have to be so hard? Why can't it just be easy?!" (Now it is all too easy, huh?!
And I remember being in the hospital when sweet James came. What a joy he was and still is. We are so happy we get to know you James!!!
