Birthday's have always been a greatly celebrated event in our family and they are all so amazing. The gift of life is always so underappreciated. 8 years ago Michael, the youngest child in our family, was born 2 months early and weighing in at 6 pounds he was hardly a premee .
He looked like a Sharpei puppy with all the extra skin and had no eyebrows and was extremely collic. Mike could outcry any of us and what was an apparant stubborn streak could certainly try anyones's patience. Michael Lee was named after his father's twin brother who passed away at the age of 21 in a tragic accident. He has been our baby and after learning this month that Michael is on the Autistic Spectrum and has ADHD has certainly made Steve and I reflect on Mike, and how special he is to us and our family .
Michael loves spiders, of course his 3 pet Tarantula's explains alot. He loves guns and wants to be a soldier like his brother Josh when he grows up . His obsession with bacon makes it his favorite food along with cheese pizza, McDonalds french fries, and Hershey candy bars. Michael loves his grandpa and grandmas and is an Uncle to Michelle, Marissa, Fredy, and Jackson . He was absolutely elated to see his cousin Alexis show up for his birthday party and just loves to play with her. He waited a whole year for her to come to his party and it absolutely made his day. He forgot about his friends he sees daily. And of course a party on a budget could only have the kind of games we all love to laugh at.
Hula Hoop Contest
Marshmallow target practice, and of course waterballoon toss
And of course there is no good spider man party without a pinata
And of coarse good food and cake. Birthdays are a time for family and memories and as my brother Roland used to say a time to CELEBRATE LIFE!
We are so grateful for Mike and all the spiders, bacon, mud pies, sleepless nights,
the moments he reveals family secrets, and interrupts every conversation we try to have at the end of the day. He is a special gift and we are so happy Mike is our baby.
