Ephraim made it alive to 8


Yesterday was Ephraim's 8th birthday. Yes, he made it. I won't hear him say "I am 7 and a half and a quarter" anymore. Yesterday he pronounced, "I am 8 and no quarters."

No party, no presents (except for Legos from grandma - she is always spoiling them!). He doesn't really like that, but his baptism is in a few weeks so he has to wait for his baptism luncheon - family rules for an 8th birthday. Then he'll also get his own set of scriptures plus scouting crap, I mean scouting gear.

The boys have been on a no-sugar, no-red-dye diet, so we splurged last night and had chocolate cake and 2 kinds of ice cream. Ephraim also got to eat powdered sugar donuts, and he ate so many his stomach hurt. He is definitely my son.

~Happy Birthday, Ephraim~

How is the no sugar diet going? I'm frozen at the thought of taking sugar out. How do you do it???

Happy Birthday to Ephraim though! I can't believe he's 8!

amen sheri! I had lost hope on every seeing another post from her!

So happy about his birthday and I am equally sad about the scouting thing. It's a bunch of crap-olla.
