Kyle's 12th B-day

Yes, it is a jar of pickles.  Yes, I did give Kyle a jar of pickles for his birthday.  I was at the grocery store the other day shopping.  I went up and down each aisle looking and picking what I needed.  I stopped and looked at the pickles.  I knew we had some regular pickles so I didn't need to get any but then I remembered that Kyle has been asking off and on for along time for sweet pickles.  He is the only that eats them so it was always hard for me to buy them when I know we needed other things.  So I smiled to myself and laughed a little and grabbed a jar of sweet pickles and put it in the basket.  Its silly that it took his birthday for me to get him some of the pickles that he loves....oh well the things we do for the ones that we love.

I placed a jar of bread and butter pickles in a birthday gift bag along with some candy and an Arizona Sweet Tea.  I woke him up and presented him with the bag.  He smiled and said I was weird and then shortly after he opened them up and ate a few before he went to school.

Something was going on at school so Kyle got out of school early at 11:30. He played football at the park with his friends.

His good buddy Connor came over and they played video games.

Then I took Kyle, his friend and the girls to the new Sportstop over by the FAC East.  It is a very neat place but it cost for everything that you want to do.  For Kyle's birthday Karlee paid for him and his friend out of her babysitting money for them to have some time at the batting cages.

Then we went to pick up his dad, then went home, threw in the pizzas from Papa Murphys.  We ate pizza, had cake and ice cream.  There was laughter and smiles, it was a nice little celebration.

 Kyle decides to lean in on his dad and wants me to take a picture.  I hurried and got the camera in hand, he never wants to take pictures.  But as you can see Kyle was ready but his dad was not.  He was trying to eat and the timing was off every time.....

We ended the evening with watching a movie.  I think Kyle had a good day on his birthday.  I am so very blessed to have him for my son.  I love his so much!
