Five.

My little guy has been five for over a week now. It's crazy, I know. I mean, it seems like yesterday that Daddy and I were in the hospital marveling at how tiny his fingers and toes were. It's amazing how fast time goes by...both my babies are growing up way too fast. Some days I feel that life is just speeding by and we really haven't stopped to enjoy things.

*sigh*

Anyway, the fifteenth of this month was Gavin's fifth birthday. It was also his last day of summer preschool (he's a kindergartener now!) and I baked some cupcakes for him to share with his friends at school. Daddy and Bekah joined me at the school to celebrate. After school, we took a trip to Toys R Us and spent about an hour and a half looking at all the cool toys. While it was a good experience, I do think that the kids were just a bit overwhelmed with everything.

Later that evening, we met up with my Dad and his side of the family at Gallos for a graduation party for my brother. We all had a blast, even though it was BLAZING HOT inside the restaurant! The kids seemed to take really well to all the relatives they hadn't met. And I really loved being around my family that I don't get to see very much.

The kids had a surprise later with a cake and gifts that my Dad had bought for them. So they got to blow out candles, hear the birthday song and open presents! Can you say spoiled? :)

After all that excitement, the kids were just plain wore out. Which was good for me and Daddy :) They actually slept in until 8 o'clock the next day!!


Here is Gavin with Papa Rollie...ARGH, he looks like a pirate!
