My baby is 9 today!

Cameron has brought us so much joy over the years. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. Cameron was due to arrive on the earth on November 12, 1999. He took us by surprise and came a bit early on October 24, 1999. I was supposed to have a baby shower that day and instead I got a baby!

The day he was born. Don't look at me...look at the cute baby!

1st birthday! What a mess that chocolate cake made!
2nd birthday! He was really into Toy Story so we had a Buzz Lightyear cake. We still have the Buzz toy that was on it too.
3rd birthday! Thomas the Train was the theme this year. He had fun with his Brio Thomas too.
4th birthday! This was his first birthday in Utah. We didn't really know anyone so we had one neighbor boy over to celebrate. We did have a party in Seattle before we left.
5th birthday! Power Rangers were the toy of choice this year. He had more friends this year from daycare and people we had met.
6th birthday! Cameron wanted a Star Wars cake this year and none of the stores had anything Star Wars so Cameron had the idea that I could make a cake and he would stick some Star Wars action figures on the cake. He had his Star Wars birthday after all. He also helped to decorate the cake.
7th birthday! Superman was the super hero of choice this year. Coincidentally, Cameron also chose to be Superman for Halloween this particular year.
8th birthday! This day was celebrated at the Classic Skate Fun Center. It was a lot of fun having the party somewhere other than the house too. Cameron had a Transformer birthday cake this year.
9th birthday! The party is tomorrow. The cake is hockey related. He was excited about this guitar. He had never asked for one. Michael thought it would be a great thing for him to start up. We are going to get him some private lessons and who knows, pretty soon I might have real rock star in my home!

We are taking him out to dinner at Red Robin, our favorite birthday place for some mudpie and then to the opening game for the Grizzly Hockey team.

Today also marks the day that Michael and I have been together for 21 years! We started dating on October 24, 1987. Twelve years later we had this precious bundle of hyper joy named Cameron. I have always thought it was neat that Cameron was born on the day we had our very first date.
