Fabulous Five

Yes, today was the day that we all (okay, mainly me) have been looking forward to for quite a while . . . my BIRTHDAY!!! Daddy, Mommy, and I have discussed at length the importance of turning 5. I become older and wiser, I move up a size in clothing, I use all my fingers on my right hand to count how old I am, but the thing I have been looking forward to the most . . . KINDERGARTEN. This turning 5 thing has been a hard thing to wait for, but now I see it is worth it.

 

Going out for our Traditional Birthday Breakfast

I am FIVE!!!

Ryker excited for the yummy breakfast

Luke happy to be out of the house

Max happy for Me (but slightly disgruntled since this interrupted his morning nap)

Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Bacon, Eggs, and Sausage . . . YES!!!

Then, I had super big surprise. I had special delivery to my house

I was invited by THE Princesses to . . . DISNEYWORLD!!!!!!!

Then my Toby, Tammy, Dallas, Wes, and Baby Blue came over for the party

They gave me the coolest magnetic dress-up ballerina

My family gave me a Leapfrog Tag and some accessories. But that was not the one thing I was hoping

 

A Telescope!!!

Yep, it is pretty cool

Then the all important Birthday Cake

My Birthday wish . . . well its a secret

Now I am 5, and the world is mine!

Dan the Great

Mommy and Daddy have these friends. We stopped by their new house on our way back from our vacation. We miss having them close to us. But at least they are the type of friends that no matter how far apart we live, we will always be close friends.

More Cousins

Vacation TIME!!!

We recently spent some time with cousins. And spending time at their house is totally a vacation

Who knew a pack-n-play in the backyard would be so amazing.

Or a playhouse with a mini kitchen

Or a nice big back yard with its own swingset and slide

Mommy loved this little girl helping out all the time.

The dance marathons were much more exciting.

They took us to an outdoor pool.

And we found our own frog, but the Mommys wouldn’t let us kiss it and found out if he were really a prince.

This is Mommy’s sister and her little gals. We love them.

Now while everyone swam, I set up the picnic.

And while set up the picnic, I tested out the slide

It was awesome

They finally convinced me to put my toes in. But I am still questioning their sanity for thinking this is fun.

And we stayed in the shade and enjoyed the peace.

The end came all too fast. Good thing they seem to like us just a bit so that we can come back again.

Golf

While Scavenging around the garage trying to find something to entertain ourselves, we found these interesting balls.

Daddy got out this club and tried to teach us the finer points of this sport.

That was until he had me hit the ball at Mommy’s shin. Ya, I learned to run pretty fast.
