Adam Von turns 9







Adam Von Moss has turned 9 years old.
It is just so strange to think of my boys turning the ages I remember so well, myself.
We had our friends, the Midgley family, come for his party. He and Taylor Midgley were best of friends before we moved and were very happy to see one another again.
Adam wanted a "Lego" birthday. He ended up with some very cool Lego toys, and was thrilled to receive each of them. After he had opened all his gifts he said, with pure contentment, "I just don't know how to thank all of you enough!" So sweet and fun.
He also received a nerf gun, which has been in action by either him or one of his brothers ever since. Grandma got into the action one day--they were doing human targets that day. She took her turn as a target, and then got to shoot at Eli.
Adam is as stubborn and charming as ever. He loves drawing, building, hearing funny stories about himself, playing madlibs (fav. nouns: poo, bum, and armpit hair--his fav. verbs and adjectives can be guessed), and doing anything to make others laugh. He wishes his mother would let him have video games, but is pretty creative and finds other things to fill his day.
We love our Adam!!

We LOVED the picutre of Adam's face when he opened the bionicle, or whatever that was. We all laughed soooo hard. The lego cake was extraordinary...good work, sister!

Happy Adamus Maximus! My heavens you are growing up fine and strong... and fast!! I remember when I was nine. That was probably when your Mom once bit me... long story, I'll tell you the whole thing next time we see each other (but just so you know, she did apologize). cant wait to see you sometime soon.
