five years old

The night before his birthday, Ammon started throwing up. It made me so sad. He had been looking forward to this day for months. He had been counting down from like day 11. I was heartbroken that I had to cancel his party. As he was throwing up he said, "I can't be sick, tomorrow is my birthday"!
Luckily, he felt well enough to enjoy the day with his family. He loved all of his presents. He got Leapster 2 from Papa and Grandma, a Thomas and Friends game for the Leapster, and Jessie (from us). Then later he picked out a Wall-E Leapster game and a new Thomas Knapford Station with money from Grandma Watts. He got spoiled!

Good thing Carters birthday is really soon. He needs a Leapster 2, too! It is so funny to watch them, Carter literally sits on Ammon's lap so he can see the screen. Ammon gets so irritated.

Check out the kissy lips... oh and Woody and Jessie. I could hear the kissing in the kitchen and I had to see what was going on. Carter you crack me up!

Check out that cupcake. Ammon decorated it all by himself, actually all of them. He did a great job!

Happy Birthday Bud! We sure love you!

I can't believe you are already 5 years old. The night of your birthday I laid awake in bed and recalled what was going on 5 years ago. You would have been about an hour old, and I could remember everything that I was thinking and feeling. I had NO idea what my life was going to be like as a mommy. I had NO idea how much I could possibly love you. I had NO idea how much someone so small could teach me. How grateful I am to have such an awesome son, who is more then willing to help me all the time. You are the best big brother! I'm so glad I can call you MINE!!!!
