Micah David: 10 Years Old

This handsome guy? He's 10 years old now. TEN. (Say what?!)

He's handsome and funny. He's curious and witty. He's athletic and creative. He's friendly and confident. He's insightful and patient. And, he's a gift and a treasure to our family!

Birthdays in our family begin with your breakfast of choice, followed by a fun family activity, then dinner out where you want, and ending with gifts and your favorite dessert. 
It was no surprise when Micah requested cinnamon rolls and asked for a morning at Top Golf. Sugar + Sports = Winning Combination (in his mind) Every Time
Micah is into anything sports-related, learning magic tricks, and trying to beat logic games. He had his fingers and toes crossed for a Go-Pro, tickets to the Super Bowl, and a ping pong table for his birthday but those gifts didn't make the cut. Maybe next year. (But probably not.)
Because he walks to the beat of his own drum and has no hesitation about doing things his way, he asked for mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert. No cake, no cupcakes, no brownies, and no cookies. Just ice cream. And it had to be mint chocolate chip.
Micah is a loyal Golden State Warriors fan and was so excited when we gifted him with tickets to see the Warriors play while they were in Charlotte. It was a special night out with just Dad. And, because he turned 10, it was his first time riding in the front seat, which to him was a big deal.
Spend five minutes with Micah and you'll see him climb or jump or flip on something. (Thank you American Ninja Warriors.) When he discovered there was a small ninja course close to home he asked a few friends to join him there for his birthday.
He had a fun (and sweaty time) and realized just how hard some obstacles are. Special thanks to my husband who spent an entire day with fifth and sixth grade boys (who belch and tell dumb jokes non- stop) and managed to impress them with his warped wall and salmon ladder abilities.
Micah David, Happy 10th Birthday! Thank you for sharing your humor, being willing to adapt, and caring for the feelings of others. I value your perspective, your inquisitiveness, and your originality. It's a joy to be your mom and you are a gift I cherish.
This year as you continue to grow, mature, and learn, I pray that you will recognize in a personal way what God desires of you: "He has told you, O [Micah], what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" Micah 6:8

  1. This 10th birthday party was truly adorable. It was my pleasure having a look at these cute photos. We also would be hosting a Peppa pig inspired party at some local Seattle venues for our little one’s birthday celebrations. Hoping that everything will be as planned.
