Cam the Birthday Man

My baby is 8 today! I can not believe it. I was bemoaning the fact that my boy is so big and my friend Steph pointed out how much she loves watching her daughter grow up. I love it to, I'm just afraid I'm going to blink and this blog will have a picture of him going on his mission...(can you imagine what blogging will be like in 11 years...who knows). I think every parent wants their kid to be great at everything they do. As I watch Cambridge try new things and develop certain skills I'm not sure if it's harder on him or me. You find some things they are great at and some they are not. I'm also finding that as your child grows you start to see more things they do exactly like you, or exactly like your husband, and some you're not sure where they picked up. The other day he asked me if when he went to College if he could live there? Could he take his play station? Could he keep his room as messy as he wanted? And last but not least could he have Crazy Parties??? What the......?

I never want my blog to be a brag session but I have to use this day to say; these are some great things about my very cool Cambridge: He is not shy, he will get up in front of people and talk without hesitation. He is funny. He is great at video games. He loves superheros. He still loves gloves and costumes (this started at a very early age). He will try almost any sport. He is a red belt in Karate. He currently plays goalie for his comp soccer team. He takes great care and is very protective of his brother and sister. He can handle a moderate to difficult ATV trail and can ski a black diamond. Last but not least he loves his mom (and dad) and is not too big or too cool to give me a snuggle and a kiss.

Thank you Heavenly Father for sending me this very precious spirit.
