Yes, what do you give an 8 year old who has everything? I did do the summer theme without the sandals. His grandma took him the other day and bought him new sneakers and sandal/water shoes. Thank God she told me! I knew he was getting some pirate things so I stuck with that theme. A bathing suit and beach towel (Pirates of the Caribbean), a couple of T-shirts, water gun, chalk, bubbles. It was a pretty successful choice, but by no means compared to what else he got. His uncle from his fathers side bought him a cell phone. Yes, a cell phone at 8. WTF!?! I am not sure exactly what it is, but when I first arrived his dad was on the computer to get track minutes or something. I wasn't paying much attention as I thought it was for the 'uncle' not an 8 year old. His other uncle, from his moms side is in a band and plays the guitar. He's messed with teaching Gage a few times. So what does he buy him? An electric guitar and amp. Yes, you read that right. It's the real deal and his uncle Jeff has been playing it all week. Jeff likes it so much he is thinking of buying himself one. It almost looks like a miniature. I'm not musically inclined at all so I can't give you the details. I did do a video of Gage playing and singing and then Jeff. They came out a bit blurry and graining. I will blame it on the lighting. LOL So there you have it.. my family is nuts and my great nephew now has everything!!!
It's been a long day so I will cut this short. Hope everyone had a great Saturday!

Lovin' the Cheap Trick jam!! I used to roller skate on my road while listening to that song. LOL! Gage has pretty much everything but a new car, I guess that will be when he turns 9 right? LOL! I swear children are going to be given a cell phone when they are born now and days! I don't get it, but I am not exactly hip when it comes to all that technological crapola. Gage did a great job playing his guitar too, he didn't just hammer on it like most kids would, he really tried! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BOY!!!
Love,
Lisa
have a good weekend:) wow for 8 he sure got alot of grownup gifts lol
Deb
Love your sense of humor. Your comments regarding the gifts were definitely in jest. The love you have for this child is obvious in the care you take in doing the collages. I've seen several, and each time I feel that you have such a strong bond. Happy Birthday little buddy!
Happy Birthday to this 'Special Birthday Boy' who is obviously loved so very much by all his family.
I know he will remember this birthday for ever!

With the guitar being introduced so young into his life he may find a passion for it and it can enrich his life so much. Those are all awesome gifts, especially what you got him because it was given with love.

Happy Birthday, Gage! It sounds like Gage really made out this birthday with the gifts. I thought your selection of summer theme items were great. I'm not sure why and 8 year old needs a cell phone, but the guitar and amp were fantastic gifts. It will be fun to watch him develope his skills.

Happy birthday Gage! I bet he'll just love learning the guitar off his uncle! When I clicked to play your brothers' video I had to go back and watch a second time, Bug had me transfixed with what she was doing! Lol! Was that a balloon pump? I can't think why an 8yr old would want a cell phone, even I don't have one and I'm seven times older than Gage! Jeannette xx

my grandson was given a guitar and amp for xmas he is 7. It came from ebay. We was advised to get him a full size one and he loves it and hopefully will be starting lessons at school. His first love though is the drums and he is very good. The school caretaker gives him lessons when he has done his work as a reward (he has ADHD). We got him a mike and stand so you can imagine him standing in front guiter strung round his neck singing along to the red hot chilli peppers, his favourite band. He sees his dad at weekends and we hope he would teach him as he sings and plays but he just got jealous and hogged it all the time so he wont take it any more.
