RJ's 9th birthday supper!

How is my Bubba-Boo already 9 years old?  Where has the time gone?!  Although RJ, you still push buttons every.single.day and drive your Momma (and Daddy) nuts we wouldn't want it any other way.  Your warmth and love when you make the right choices is something we could never live without.  You inspire us with how kind you are to your classmates and it always amazes us how many people know your name when we are out and about in the community.  (Although you never seem to remember their names... gotta work on that!)  You work hard in school and your teachers say you try your best.  That is all we want!  All we ask is that you try your best and do the best you can!  We love your smile and your squiggly, wiggly body even when it is screaming and yelling, because... we know that you aren't getting away with whatever it is you were doing... and you have finally realized (most of the time) it isn't worth the battle to fight us and settle down quicker than you have in the past and complete the requested task.  You are starting to grow up... just don't forget how much we love you and always give your Momma a hug when she asks!

Happy 9th my sweet boy!

PS... your restaurant of choice this year... Chinese Buffet
