WOW,  five years old already?  Not sure how that happened so fast but time isn't stopping so I'll just have to get used to these birthdays!  I actaully remember thinking about your fifth birthday when you turned one! I thought it seemed so old and how different things would be. They are different and you are growing into such a little man! You are quite independnet and have been your dads little buddy lately.  I'm not going to lie, its kind of hard to watch you grow up. I'll always remember my sweet guy!  I love watching you interact with other kids.  You make friends wherever we go and it comes so easy to you.  You love to be out and about, you are not a homebody like your brother.

This year it was an army birthday.  It was a tough choice but after we found the hummer pinata it sealed the deal! We let him choose five friends from school and he quickly named Hudson, Derek, Atticus, Jesse and Tanner. The same five he talks about everyday!

We set up an obstacle course and had a tug of war game at the end.  So thankful the weather was absolutly perfect, especially since there were 13 kids under the age of 8!

Opening presents.  This always makes me laugh because the kids have to get as close as possible to check out all the new toys! Cohen got some awesome stuff and he has loved playing with everything.

New scooter and helmet.  I don't think his smile left his face all day!  At the end of his party he said "That was amazing, can we do it again tomorrow?" Happy Birthday buddy, we love you so much!!!!
