This month William turned a humungous 7 years old!

Here he is on his actual birthday, which was a Sunday, getting ready for a family day of fun:

His official birthday portraits, taken by me down in Sunriver, Oregon:

Here is his birthday interview, same questions as Lucy, but conducted completely separately from her:

What is the meaning of life?

How long you live. However long you get to spend time with the people around you. And who and how long you get to care for the kid that you have. And my mom’s person is William.

Bullet train driver in the US Army or famous mud bogging monster truck driver.

What brings you the most happiness?

When someone makes me laugh at a monster truck show.

When do you feel the most loved?

At home when I’m snuggling with my mom and my dad.

What are you afraid of?

Big scary shadows when I’m in my bed.

If you had one wish, what would you wish for?

I would wish for really super-duper loving parents that did whatever I wanted.

What is the funniest word?

Fufu: like a fufu bunny

What is the hardest thing to do?

Draw a picture better than my art teacher, Mr. Dabbs.

What is the easiest thing to do?

Beat my sister in a race on our bikes.

What is the best thing in the world?

That’s a hard one. Watching monster truck shows on my Mom’s birthday.

What is the worst thing in the world?

Getting shot and dying.

What makes you mad?

My mom after I did something really bad.

What is the meaning of love?

You are the best and really helpful and caring for me and taking us on lots of fun trips. Like my mom who’s really fun and takes me to the Monster Truck shows to see them do tricks.

If you had all the money in the world, what would you do with it?

I would by a 1000 remote controls I can buy with the money I have left after buying all the Lego sets in the world, but not like the Barbie sets. Only the cool sets.
