When Ace Face Turned 7...

It's LUCKY #7 again in our house - this time for Ace Face.  Who looks a little bit like a seven-year-old and a lot like a smiley Jack-o-Lantern thanks to all those missing teeth.

Ace spent his day at school this year, followed by soccer practice and then a football game.  He's a busy boy but there is always time to celebrate one of our cool little dudes.

Per his long put in request Ace got a remote control shark (which is only the size of his hand but he doesn't seem to care.  He also got a kayak and then a plethora of Nerf Guns, Stomp Rockets, and weaponry fit for a birthday King.

Here is a list of SEVEN things we love about Ace a' Spades:

7.  He is animal obsessed.  Went through a hard core jungle cat phase (may still be in it) and is now all about monkeys and alligators.  National Geographic is his channel of preference.

6.  He is speedy.  This guy feels the need for speed whether he is running routes in the back yard or chasing down the ball in soccer, he is a fast little cheetah.  In fact in his football game on his birthday he ran for two touch downs and yanked the flags of the opposing team members like a boss.

5.  Ace is not afraid of the spotlight.  He is usually the cutie who is dancing to the music for a crowd, telling a very detailed tale to a group of buddies or testing out any and all microphones.

4.  Ace is a great sharer.  Maybe it's because he's the third boy in our family, but he has no qualms giving up chunks of a candy bar or handing over a new Nerf Gun for someone else to try.  

3.  Ace is our healthiest little eater.  He loves avocado toast, oatmeal, bananas and carrots more than any person I've ever met.  He abhors ice cream and popsicles and most other fancy deserts.

Like whaaaa????

2.  Ace is equal parts sweet and sassy - ok maybe it's more like a 80-20 split.  But when he has gone to the dark side it's hella hard to get him to see the light and his facial expressions let you know how disgusted he is with the current situation.  I like to say he takes after his daddy.  :) #stubbonstreak

1.  Ace is a fantastic friend, he is smart, social, athletic and a pretty awesome little human.  He gives us all hugs and sweet words freely, and doesn't hold back smiles or laughter.  We love getting to watch him do life his way and we are so happy he belongs to our family.

 He is also King of the trampoline park and loved having so many of his buddies bouncing around to celebrate together.

You're one awesome hombre, Ace.

Happy SEVENTH Birthday, Bud!
