Austin's 10th bday

Our sweet Austin is now double digits...10! We did a bday party for him with a few close friends, Ninja style dressed in black for night games. We roasted hot dogs and s'mores outside and then Jared led them to the church in front to play some games. It was great! He got a cool watch, his own Monopoly game, some cash and a gift card to Petsmart from mom and dad. Jared had to go out of town on his actual bday, so I did the best I could to make it special. We served him breakfast in bed (with super crispy toast), hit up football games, went to Tia Estela's house for milanesa lunch (not a huge success), went to Petsmart where I let him buy a hamster (Cosmo) b/c he was in tears that his bday was the.worst.day.ever...then had Stetson come over to celebrate with pizza and jello. I was feeling sad b/c Gpa Lowe was not with us, this being our first family that he was not going to be at. Then Jared was gone, so I felt lonely as the only family member trying to make Austin's day fun! That's why Cosmo had to come be part of the fun bday! Fast forward two weeks...and we had to take Cosmo back b/c he kept getting out of the cage! It was amazing how he would end up downstairs, after having gone down the big staircase and be hanging out in the kitchen! Jared said NO MORE RATS and Cosmo was a goner. We will now be getting Austin a fish for a pet.
