Happy 9th Birthday Dalton

There once was a day when I met this little guy who was 2 years old, but soon turning 3, who later became my step-son. Dalton rode this truck out at grandpa and grandma's until he was way to big to be in it.

A usually happy kid, was not so happy to be as bored as he was waiting for his time to come down the aisle at his Aunt Lisa's wedding.
He proves to be full of spunk and curiosity and was loving this day so long ago when I took a bunch of pictures of him and his shadow. This one tops it all though.

Dalton has always been so full of excitement come time for presents. In fact, we've had to get pretty sneaky at hiding them so they can wait until it is time to open them. Dalton thinks the bigger the better and was way excited for this truck.

Enjoying cake at a birthday party a few years back. He is just like me in that respect...he loves sweets, including cake!

Dalton is so full of persistence and determination when he starts something.

And is willing to jump into perfect picture taking places...even if it means it might show up at his graduation. :)

A handsome and reserved young guy, he is.

Dalton proved himself to be a team play this summer during ball. He also made us laugh with how entertaining he can be.

Running through the sprinkler is a sure way to keep him amused and busied when younger ones are in the pool. His giggle is heard all the way around the house.

Happy Birthday Dalton! Your dad and I love you and are proud of you!
