happy 10th birthday to ian!!

this kid. double digits. i know i should say i can't believe it...but i totally can. ian always feels older than he is...he has always been pretty mature and sometimes quiet, which can make him feel older. he truly has a heart of gold. he is so caring and loving. so gentle and sweet. he loves little kids...i mean, loves them! he will choose to sit and play with a younger kid instead of doing something on his own. he actually asked me the other day if he could have invite our 3 yr old neighbor inside to play...anyone with younger kids sees it and comments on how great he is with little kids. 
melts.my.heart.
he loves the Lord, and it shows. he has deep insights to scripture...and is always really thoughtful in responses to bible studies and questions. he is a hugger and wants to cuddle on the couch when we watch tv. he needs alone time to recharge...he always apologizes right away when i get on to him for anything. he loves 3 meat pizza. and corn dogs. he sneezes and is congested constantly from milk intolerance, but he will use oils and say its worth it for pizza. :) he loves movies and all things super heros. if there's any lull in a conversation he will start a "who would beat who" discussion on super heros. i love that he still enjoys legos...and guys....such a kid at heart, but beginning to transform into a young man. you are sooooo loved, big e.
he wanted to have a small party, but did NOT want to go swimming. :) so i suggested a scavenger hunt...took a few of his buddies and they opened clues that directed them to their next destination. they all seemed to really enjoy it! we ended up at the park for pizza and jello cake!
bff: tyler prince ...they are literally two peas in a pod. they don't go to the same school anymore, but they still adore each other and must have the other around!!
buddies: tyler, brady, ian, jace, and tj
