Mr. Double Digits...

Drake and his beloved "Bear"

Okay, thinking about putting together this post makes me feel old! My oldest son Drake Earl Lamb turns 10 today at exactly 8:48pm. On this day 10 years ago Drake was born in the Dixie Regional Medical Center by c-section. This is because about a week before he was born he decided that he was going the "wrong way" and turned himself completely upside down. Not to be deterred, Drake decided to make his appearance in the world about 3 weeks early and "breech"! Actually, this says quite a bit about Drake who doesn't let anyone sway his way of thinking, always making up his own mind about the world! I have to work early all this week, so we decided to celebrate yesterday. We had a good time at Jumpin' Jacks, a place filled with giant slides and bounce houses. The kids love it! Then we came back home and met up with Grandma Brenda and Grandpa Dick for pizza and cupcakes and opening up of the presents. Grandma Jan spoiled him completely by buying him a Wii to help with his coordination, and eye tracking. (Both of which he could use some improvement on) Lee and I got him games for the Wii and clothes and Grandma and Grandpa Nelson got him his favorite book. (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, that is=0) All in all, I think he had a good time!=0) I personally can't believe that it was ten years ago since he was so little! Happy Birthday sonny boy! You make your Mom smile, just knowing that you are and that I have you to love!=0)

  1. You are old enough to have a ten year old... but just barely! Looks like Drakee had a good one. His present should get there tomorrow. Sorry it's late, Ainsley and Aftyn have had the stomach flu. :(
