Buckner's Buzz: Happy Birthday Little T!

The cutest little guy turned 12 this month! He came into our world on February 6. He was a 9lb 8oz bundle of joy! He was the BEST sleeper any mother could ask for! He slept through the night at 6 weeks! We had lots of hands to hold him...and he had lots of action to watch from his swing!!

One of the things I remember most about his younger years was how friendly he was....ALWAYS saying hi to EVERYONE in the store (perched in the cart)..wanting to sit on complete strangers laps (in the Med Center)..never afraid of anyone...

He enjoyed camping!(lower picture from our camping years at N. Muskegon)

Everything he did....he did/does with SPUNK!

We let him open his presents before he went to school.... iPod touch!

Then....we surprised him with a trip to the Great Wolf! We left on Sunday after church. He is my kid that is observant..so I was sneaking around with the suitcases. We made up a story about Steve having to look at a fire truck in Buckley..so we were all going to ride along. (unfortunately..Troy couldn't get off work..so he couldn't go!)

He questioned us A-L-L the way heading north!!! Why are we going? Are they buying a new truck? Why don't they like their old truck? Is it going to be a pumper or a tanker or a rescue? How much is it going to cost? What is the name of the Chief? Where are you meeting him? Is it going to be red?.... As we were approaching he said.."hey there's Great Wolf..can we go??" We said no you have school tomorrow! Steve pulled in and he told Trent he was meeting the Fire Chief in the lobby. He jumped out and said I'm going in too! (still not realizing we were staying) I got in the check-in-line..he went to the bathroom with Steve ..and asked Steve "well where is he??"..Steve's said .."Trent we are staying here..there is no chief!" He was so surprised!!

He could hardly wait to get his suit on!
