Dylan's Birthday Surprise

Wow, I can't believe my little boy is already 7 years old. Where did the time go and why did it have to go by so fast? He has grown into such a remarkable and special boy ... I am truly blessed to have Dylan. Although his birthday party is not until Saturday the 17th, we spent his actual birthday together having a mommy and son day. We started by going to see the Disney Ocean's movie which was absolutely amazing ... the cinematography alone blew my mind. The fact that Dylan wanted to see a documentary about saving the world's ocean's is just so surreal to me, but he has always been this way. I have raised a boy who cares for the planet, the animals, and the environment in general ... would I have it any other way? Hahaha, those of you that know me well are laughing too.

Later in the day we went to Ruby's for his birthday dinner. I swear if he could eat at Ruby's every day he would be the happiest kid ever. Especially since he has discovered milk shakes! I surprised him with a special Ruby's sundae after dinner and the look on his face was priceless.

Gotta eat the cherry first ....
then some whipped cream ...
Yep, he finished the whole thing!!

Happy Birthday Dylan ... I love you more than anything in this world. Although you will only hold my hand for a little while, you will hold my heart forever.

Shooby-Dooby ...

Nothing beats the afternoon blahs like a trip down to the island. Amazing how much fun you can have just going to lunch ...
A simple drive down to Balboa Island, a ride across the ferry, and a short walk down to the Newport Pier. All so we could Shooby-Dooby, Down to Ruby's for some good food and laughs. Dylan was happy to use his certificate he won for being the Top Otter Log Reader in his class, and I was happy I didn't have to pay for his cheeseburger!
