9 Years

April 22nd, Talin turned 9 years old. We headed to the valley for Easter weekend with family and decided to invite everyone to the park to help us consume his massive chess cake.
Are all 9 year olds this silly all the time? Mine is. I still love him, but he makes us all crazy.
Talin, Ryder, Wyatt & Noah.
We had lots of cousins come and play and eat cake.
Wesley, Talin, Ryder & Wyatt.
It's crazy to think he's 9!
Time is really flying by, it seems like just yesterday he was my only baby.

Wyatt, Reagan, Collin & Davyn.
Wesley's awesome wrapping job. Who needs a ribbon when you've got painters tape?
Caleb & Savannah.
This picture is significant because Savvy usually does not like Caleb and finds him to be quite annoying, which I totally understand. But I think they bonded.
They put the soccer ball to good use at the park. Especially with the army of children around.
Squirt gun from Grandma and Grandpa Chambers. They had lots of fun with this.

Our family is so blessed to have Talin in our family. Despite his silliness, he's always trying to do the right thing and he brings a beautiful spirit into our home. I love you Talin and am proud of the older brother you are and the example you are to our family. You are so smart and I often call you the "absent-minded professor" because you're so busy dreaming and coming up with brilliant ideas all the time that you don't have the time for life's little details. You make you're mother crazy, but I look forward to watching all your creations and ideas come to life over the years. I love you like crazy!
