I'm a little slow posting about Dillon's birthday, it was actually on March 9th. I wanted to wait until I had all the pictures from his party first, which he didn't have until Friday. I can't believe my little, well, my not so little boy is 9 years old! It truly does not seem possible! I remember every detail of when he was born. He was the cutest little baby I had ever seen. He had the BIGGEST, most beautiful eyes.... Dillon has grown into such a handsome and smart boy. He amazes us with his intelligence, and especially with his ability to memorize pretty much everything. For years, he has been fixated on Dinosaurs, and knows everything about them, and now he has moved on to sports, mainly Football. He fills us in on scores and stats daily. Lol ;) Dillon is such a sweet and sensitive boy. His teachers in school have always praised him for being so kind to everyone. Dillon is an excellent student and is always on the Honor Roll and was just recently nominated for Student of the Month by his peers. He is involved in Baseball right now, and is improving with every practice. He also enjoys being in Cub Scouts, and is currently working on his Pinewood Derby car with his Dad! We are so proud of Dillon and all of his accomplishments, he is a great son, and we are proud to be his parents. Happy Birthday, Buddy!
Dillon asked to have a Football Party this year. He specifically wanted a Utah Utes helmet cake. So, me being the crazy person I am, stayed up until 3:30 in the morning on Friday creating his cake. Even though it was a big pain in the you know what, I think it was worth it, cause it turned out pretty cute. The party was a success, I think all of the boys had a lot of fun. They played touch football, and a couple of games- hot potato with the football, and toss the football in the bucket. After the games, we ate "football nachos" (tortilla chips, nacho cheese, chili, and halepenos), cupcakes, and drank our "football water bottles". Then we sang Happy Birthday, and Dillon blew out his #9 candle. Presents came next, and boy, did he get some great stuff. I think he has every kind of football imaginable now.... I decorated the tables to look like football fields by covering them with green table cloths and then using white duct tape for the yard lines. I had a lot of fun planning the party, and I hope Dillon enjoyed it... he is definitely worth all of the work. :)
