Kai turned 6 years old on October 2nd, 2011! We were going to celebrate his birthday at the Portland Zoo the day after Kristin's wedding, but Kai was battling bronchitis so he wasn't able to make it down for his party. We ended up post-poning his celebration until the weekend after his birthday...what a trooper!

I love this picture even though it's pretty blurry. You can see the joy in Tycen and Shaylie's faces, they adore their Gramps and Uncle Kai so much!!
Kai, we love you so much, buddy! You are such a blessing to all of us. You are growing up so fast and we couldn't be more proud of you. We always look forward to the time we get to spend with you. You're not only the little sibling I always wished for, but you're a close friend and role model to your niece and nephew, which is pretty special for a kid who just turned 6! :) Thanks for being such a sweet and fun-loving boy. We love you!!
