FIVE years ago yesterday..

I was in Germany, in a hospital on the economy being induced with our first baby boy.

I didn't know then how much being a mommy would change me.

I didn't know how much he'd look like his daddy.

I didn't know that I'd miss these little baby gums so much.

I didn't know how CUTE a one year old's birthday party could be.

I didn't know that he'd be such a good big brother, even at age 2!

I didn't know what a Thomas FANATIC he'd end up being..
(3 years)

I didn't know how silly acting, gooberish, and downright FUN he'd be.

I didn't know what an amazing role he'd play in our family..
But I know now...

Five years went SO fast.

This morning Caleb woke up to his birthday suprise!
Yep, a trampoline!
Ayden loves it too! :)

They've been on & off of it 100 times already! They love it.

For breakfast, I made him a "5" pancake. He LOVED it.
Yes, I know it looks like an S. LOL

In between breakfast & cookie making/bedtime we did alot!
But that was captured on my point & shoot, and my card reader just died!
So we'll have to wait on those pics.
But we did go to Chuckecheese, kroger, hobby lobby, jumped a ton on the trampoline, played go fish, rented the newest Free Willy, and just enjoyed our birthday boy!

Since he's having his big party this Saturday, we didn't make a cake for his actual bday.
His favorite cookies are chocolate chip and he wanted those in the shape of planes.
We also cut out some 5's. He thought it was too cool.

Pretty cute!!

HE felt special. You can see it right here. Man, I love that smile. :)

Thank you Jesus for another awesome year with my Cbear!
My boys mean the world to me, and I'm so glad you chose me to be their mommy!

Cbear, we love you and we are proud of the little man you are becoming!
Cannot wait for your big fighter jet party this weekend!!
Thanks for being such a big blessing to your mama & daddy.
