Damon is 8 years old!! This boys has such enthusiasm for life. He goes from one extreme to the next without much middle ground. He has the softest and most tender heart of all our kids. He is the kindest brother to his sisters, always helping them. He wants to hold Mackenzie all the time and wake her up from a nap if he thinks she's slept too long. He is the most patient with Bentley and probably understands her the best because they are similar. He still loves sports almost more than anything and just wants to compete. He gets so into any competition that he gets emotional when things aren't going his way. He is incredibly intelligent and comes up with correct answers when he doesn't even know how he figured it out! He thinks outside the box and comes up with solutions in such abstract ways. He has amazing gospel knowledge and asks great questions about spiritual things. It has been an adventure for 8 years with this boy, and I don't see that changing anytime soon! We love you Damon Blade!
It was so fun to have some of Damon's friends over. This friend ended up spending the night with us. It got extra crazy with all the boys running around, but they had a great time!
He was really confused when he opened this present and got dog toys and a dog collar. Obviously we don't have a dog, but he got the hint and was really excited when he realized that we will be getting a dog!! Mom and Dad aren't nearly as excited, but he's been asking for a dog every Christmas and birthday since he was 3. After 5 years, he finally wore us down!!
He's also been asking for scriptures, so he was happy about his new scriptures too and already started marking in them.
This dog loving boy asked for a paw print cake, and then didn't eat one piece of cake!!
Next year we're just blowing out candles with root beer floats!
Happy Birthday Damon!
All the boys started playing Just Dance, and it was pretty funny.
Damon got a balloon launcher for his birthday. They were ready to use it, but Damon wanted to shoot a balloon by himself. I was surprised how well he did it without help!
