Coverton just turned 7, and it's kind of a big "dill". If there's one thing this kid loves, it is pickles. He requested his room be painted pickle green. Drinks the pickle juice once the pickles are gone. Loves anything pickle. So naturally he asked for a pickle birthday party. It was a family birthday and we had fun! We woke up and of course, he was ready to tell the world it was his birthday. At one point during the day, he said it was the worst birthday ever because Cal hadn't wished him a happy birthday. It was still morning, ha! He relished in all the birthday attention. He loved the sign and paper pickles Emma and I put up the night before and got so excited when he saw his pickle cake we made. We made some pickle shaped pancakes with green food coloring (his idea) for breakfast, looked at baby books, relaxed and played, then we opened a couple of presents. He got a game called Quick Pickle, and we had fun playing that. Then, since he is such a big boy now, he decided he was old enough to mow the lawn all alone, which Emma helped him with. We played some more and then opened some more presents. He got a snorkel mask, a light up drone, and a turtle sprinkler (he loves turtles too). He was so happy and kept thanking us for a great birthday and all the presents and fun. He could also tell Cal really loved that drone and kept talking about how he's going to save his money so he could get one for him, too. We went to Moo-Yahs next for some yummy burgers for dinner and then had to grab a few things while we were in Billings. At dinner, we talked about what we love about him. He's the comic relief, he's fun to be around, makes people smile, he has great faith, helps others. Then we came home to sing to him (and he sang to himself loudly, too), and ate his pickle cake and ice cream. He had the idea to hide a real pickle in the cake that we wrapped with tin foil and dried a little so it wouldn't seep out any pickle juice. The person who got that piece would get a prize. Of course the birthday boy got that piece! We gave him some birthday hugs and then it was time for bed. Another year older, we are loving the boy he is becoming!
A very sweet boy who offers to help do things without being asked, or pitches in when he can tell others are sad or need a hand.
Cov makes the best faces and comes up with some pretty funny things to say.
Wins the award for the person who passes the most gas in our family.
Is very protective of Sydnie, and is always making sure she is safe.
Loves to play with friends and is a very social boy.
Has a sweet faith in God and Jesus Christ and turns to them for everything.
Really wants to know how everything works and how everything is made.
Cov is very apprehensive about things sometimes, like starting new things or new school years. But once he gets going, the anxiety lessens and he ends up loving things.
