My Five Year Old

The New Scooter

My little Boy Turns Five

I can't believe he is five years old. After a breakfast of cinnamon rolls and opening presents of dinosaurs, we went to the library to get our first library card. He went right up to the counter and said to the librarian, " I am five. May I please have a library card? It is my birthday today." He check out four books and a movie. He was so proud. Then Grandma came over and thankfully it had stopped raining because he receive a trapeze bar and rings from her and Papa. He had a blast trying out new tricks to do. We had dinner at McDonald's (his request) followed by mini cupcakes. Then he opened his last present which is posted above, the two wheeled scooter. Below is a video of us singing Happy Birthday. He had a great day and thanks to all who called, you made his day even more special.

The Walker

Here is finally some video of him walking. He spends most of his time doing it although you can catch him still crawling from time to time.

ZOO TRIP

We went to the Madison Zoo on May 9. We went with four other families. It was overcasted but it didn't rain. We had a great time. We saw lions, flamingos, all sorts of bears, rhinos, penguins, and monkeys. Above is our whole group watching the lions.

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy 1st Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Little One! Yesterday, we had his first birthday party. Here are some pictures and video from the party. For his presents he received a popper, a police car, some farm magnets, and a tool bag with tools, as well as some nice monetary gifts. Thank you! The oldest one this morning said, "Mom, is (insert name) one now?" I said, "Yes." He then says, "He doesn't look any bigger."
