The Big #5!

 Today my rambunctious, handsome little man is 5 years old! I can't believe it's been 5 years (almost) since we left Guam with a 6 week old baby boy and two-year-old little princess! :-) 

 

Cupcakes for Preschool

 Our deal with the kids is that we won't have a full-blown "kid" party for their birthdays every year, but they'll take turns having a party every few years. Gracie had her first "friend" party when she turned 5, so Emmett got to have one when he turned 5. We decided on a pool party and it was great (we had it last Saturday). Jason spent almost 1 1/2 hours in the pool rough-housing with the mob of 5-year-old boys (the girls played quietly by themselves). By the time we headed to the party room for cupcakes and presents, it was eerily quiet - they were soooo tired from swimming - thanks Jason! :-)
