1. He puts his family's needs above his own

Let's just say, my boys have the perfect role model.
Aaron's birthday landed on a Saturday this year and he said, "All I want is to go to Sea World." It was kind of a perfect day. We had so much fun with aunt Amy, Uncle T and their family. They live in San Antonio so it was perfect!
Kade and Josh started planning the day out, first thing.
The dolphins were a hit. We almost had to literally drag them away.
Kade wanted to go on the big roller coasters so badly! Next year bud.
Zach and Kade have really bonded. It's pretty cute. They have become really good friends very quickly!
Max slept through most of the day.
Max was fascinated.
The boys couldn't keep their eyes off of the show.
This was Kade's "silly face." Yeah, it needs some work.
Uncle T, Zach and Emma. I promise they were all happy.
They're basically twins.
Uncle T loves Max!
After Sea World we went back to the Payne household where we had Rudy's BBQ for dinner, Aaron took a birthday nap and then we had birthday root beer floats because he did not want cake.
It was a perfect day. Except when Kade got really upset because Aaron didn't open any presents. That was just funny.
