Jeffery's 8th Birthday

Jeffery's birthday was on Friday of the first week of school, so he as soon as he got home from school, he was ready to open his presents. We also let him choose where to eat that night: Pizza Hut and then choose what we were going to do afterwards: Amarillo High football game. We all had a fun night celebrating his birthday!
He was pretty excited about this set of baseball cards from his Mama Betty.
He was pretty sure he knew what was in this big, long box, but he was still super excited to open it. We made him save it for last too.

Sure enough, it was a new set of golf clubs!


On Saturday morning, James took the boys to a driving range for Jeffery to test out his new set of clubs.


William took in a little golf action too, but mostly he was just happy to be along for the ride!



James says he hopes Jeffery is a good enough golfer to support his parents some day! LOL!


Saturday afternoon was Jeffery's birthday party at the Family Life Center (FLC) at our church. He was fired up about playing a game of knock-out with his buddies. I think they played knock-out on each of the six goals in the gym, followed by a game of two on two. Such an easy party. All I had to do was serve cake and write down presents. They just played the rest of the time.

Jeffery certainly had fun opening his presents, in case you couldn't tell.
He got two of these foam swords which he and William have really enjoyed.


Eight years have come and gone quickly. In eight more years, he will be getting his driver's license and dating. I'm not going to think much about that, but instead try to enjoy each day and be thankful for the joy that Jeffery brings to our lives!
