Clayton Patrick turns 8

So Clayton just had his 8th birthday on Feb. 22nd. He didn't want an official party, just a sleepover with his cousins and his pal Cole. Pretty simple request. He chose to have "make your own sundae" instead of cake. The kids had fun with that. We had brownies, waffle cone bowls, ice cream, hot fudge, sprinkles, whipped cream, nuts and of course a cherry on top. Most of them couldn't finish it.

Clayton and Cole. This year the boys are all into monster trucks after Uncle Nathan and Auntie Steph took them to the Monster Jam show. He has quite a collection now.

It's a strange thing when your boy gets to the age when clothes and money excite him. He loves this shirt from the Marsh's-it has monster trucks and guitars.

Modeling birthday boys

Here's Wyatt up on a rock. We went on a short hike to blow off some steam. There's a cool trail with a few piles of climbing rocks right near our house.
