Conrad is 11!

I think he's excited.  What do you think?

Conrad turned 11 a couple of weeks ago.  It was fun celebrating with him.

After school Conrad and I went and picked out a cake.  He chose an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen.  Then we went to the warehouse with a couple of friends and played.  They had a blast and ate a whole pack of birthday cake Oreos.  I'm sure the boys Mom's appreciated it.

Conrad chose green curry for dinner and then we partied with my parents.  He had a blast opening gifts from everyone and still has some money left over.

Here are the some pics from his special day:

Conrad loves pranks so I got trick candles this year.

The trick candles sparked a little bit.  

Conrad is a tender hearted animal lover.  He is definitely Nani's best friend and takes great care of her.  She loves him.  She waits by the door every afternoon anticipating his arrival.  Baseball season is just beginning and he can't wait.  He wasn't able to play last year which makes him even more excited.  He loves reading Diary of a Wimpy Kids and Weird but True books, fishing, and riding RZR's.

We love this kid.  He's a great older brother and is the peacemaker most of the time.  He's very willing to help out when I need it, especially in the kitchen.  I like it when he wants to cook with me. He's smart and LOVES to make people laugh. Even if it may be at inappropriate times:)

Happy birthday Conrad!  You are growing up so fast. We are proud of you and the great young man you are becoming. Keep on growing and learning all that you can. Great things will come your way when you work hard do what others teach you.  I can't wait to see what is in store for you.  We love you!
