Ty is Five!

Ty is now FIVE years old! He just couldn't wait until his birthday. (mostly couldn't wait for all his presents!) Everytime we would go to Target he would hit me up for a pack of Pokemon cards. I would tell him he would have to wait until his birthday. He didn't like that answer.

Much to Ty's delight we were going to be in Washington for his birthday. He wanted to have a birthday party at "Big Owl's" (Big Al's). He didn't care for bowling he just wanted to hit the arcade area! Oh, and he wanted all his cousins to be there too! Especially "Wheel" aka Will! He got to ride the motorcycle ride with Dad! He also won lots of tickets to get candy!

He was joined by lots of siblings & cousins.

After Big Al's he wanted his special birthday lunch at McDonald's but a certain one. He wanted to go to the "Playland" McDonald's!

And the activities just kept going! He had a birthday bash at Aunt Kiki's house! Ty is just facinated with sharks. Loves everything about them. He loves animals in general but sharks are by far his favorite thing right now. We were lucky to be in Vancouver where a fabulous cake decorator lives. It just happens to be his cousin Karsyn! She made an amazing "Shark" cake for Ty and he LOVED it!

Ty was excited to have his family to share his birthday with. He also got to share his birthday with our old neighbor friend Sennika and his favorite baby sitter Taylor and her family! He was just loving all the attention he got.

Then FINALLY it was present time. Ty was asking every 5 minutes if it was time to open presents! He was so excited to get Pokemon cards, Gomu erasers, Pokemon and Sharktale movies, MORE animals, a Shark book & a Bat Mobile!! He was pretty happy with his haul! But I think what made it the best 5 year old birthday party EVER, was that he was able to share it with his family and friends who we miss so much!

And now my baby boy is 5! Can't believe that. The next milestone is starting Kindergarten this fall! Then I will have 3 kids in school!

Five COOL things about TY!

1- He loves everything about animals, sharks, snakes, bugs, crocodiles & alligators. He loves to watch National Geographic movies about animals. He pretty much loves to watch any movie!

2- He loves to talk! If you have ever had the pleasure of being near him you would know this! He just talks and talks and talks and talks.....but he says some pretty funny things!

3- He started playing T-ball this year and loves it! He loves sports. He thinks he is the best at everything! It is fun to see him play ball!

4- He loves chocolate milk!! He has a glass every morning and "snuggles" with me in bed! We like to read stories and have some snuggle time before the day starts. I will miss that when he goes to school. He is my little "snugglebun"!

5- He is the life of the party! There is never a dull moment when he is around!

Happy Birthday Ty!

We love you and can't wait to see what this year brings!
