Owen's Birthday!

Today is Owen's birthday. He is seven years old. Can't believe 7 years have gone by already. Last night at church Mrs Rhonda gave him a Jubilanee ball, a replica of the ones they are using at the World Cup. He was so excited. He slept with it last night. His Daddy cooked breakfast for him and served it to him in bed- eggs, grits, and a toaster strudel- His favorites! He opened the rest of his birthday gifts too. He already opened some at the beach since we had a party for him there with his grandparents and aunts, uncles, and cousins. The Burton's from Danville were able to be there too. Granny made him a FIFA World Cup Soccer cake. It was a big hit! We had a great time. This morning he got a BOLT dog from Ella and an air soft gun from Mom and Dad. I keep reminding his Dad that he is 7. Jason enjoys playing with those kinds of toys just as much as Owen does. Lettie gave him some hunting silly bands while were were at the beach. He has gotten money in the mail, a cd player, nerf gun, super soaker, paddle ball, legos, world cup soccer game for the wii, and a USA soccer jersey. Thank you so much to all of you who have been so generous to him. He has been celebrating for over a week. Love to see the smile on his face--so glad that God gave him to me and Jason. He is growing up so fast. Hopefully we will get to go to the pool this afternoon and then to drive race cars tonight.
