Turning 8 is Great!

My sweet Jeffrey turned 8 in November!  We invited his two best buds, Remington and Dawson, to go swimming at the rec center and then come back here for pizza and Minecraft.  They always have a great time together. He was excited to open some gifts from us and his friends.  He loved his FIFA game, skateboard and cool new hat!

Later that week we had the family over to celebrate.  He was spoiled with a lot of cool stuff.  I think everyone can agree that it's fun giving Jeffrey gifts because he is truly excited and thankful for everything! 

A few things about Jeffrey...

1. He LOVES soccer!  He will practice any chance he gets, even in the cold and snow.  He will spend hours watching soccer videos.  He loves playing FIFA on the Xbox and can name almost every player and where they are from. He is playing on an indoor team right now and doing awesome.  They just finished up the first session in 2nd place.  Jeffrey scored 4 goals during the last game.

2. He is an awesome student.  His teacher has nothing but good stuff to say about him.  She told me at parent teacher conference that she's worried he isn't being challenged enough.  He is in the top spelling group and cruising along on his math timings.  Plus, I think he keeps the class laughing on a daily basis.

3. His best friends are Dawson and Remington.  They love playing Minecraft and building Lego Hero Factory guys.

4. He is a good big brother.  Grayson is constantly breaking his stuff and bugging him and he usually just deals with it.  He is good to let Hannah play with him and his friends and he is the best at cheering her on at soccer games and dance. 

5. We just love this kid!  He is our smart, funny, talented, kind, long-haired, good-looking, soccer-playing boy who likes to stay up late and sleep in!

HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY!!
