Hamp celebrated wonderfully last week...

| it's a blur because of Hamp's super speed! |
... his movie party was fun and easy. Then he had a full day of school on his actual birthday and his mean ol' momma even made him do some homework! (OK, so maybe that's not the best part of being 8!) It's ok though because it was all in preparation for a fun evening of basketball, cake and presents!
That evening Hamp participated in the Denver Nuggets Skills Challenge - he had fun and got to play basketball with a bunch of his friends!
Then we celebrated with dinner out, chocolate cake (of course!) at home and gifts and cards from our very thoughtful and generous family!

But perhaps the best part of Hamp turning 8 is that he is working on growing into a responsible member of the household. And what better household job for a little boy with a new puppy than "pooper-scooper"? Yes, with a little assistance and gentle instruction from Dad this weekend Hamp took on the new and monumental (have you seen our dog?!) task of cleaning out the yard once a week...
Ahhh, what a big boy! I'm so proud of him... now I just have to figure out which undesirable task I can pawn off on him when he turns nine!
