My first baby turned 5 on April 30!! He was so excited to turn 5 and he can't wait for kindergarten to start in the fall. I don't know if I'm strong enough to watch him go, but I love school and I know he'll love it too.
I got all teary eyed looking at this picture my mom took of us in the hospital a few days after he was born.
I let Eli pick out $3.00 worth of candy and decorate his own birthday cake. He was thrilled! This may be a new family tradition! As Eli was decorating his cake, he said, "This is my birthday wish come true. :)"
Eli requested oatmeal with sprinkles for breakfast. He loves oatmeal. We then headed to Kohl's and he used the money he found from the bank and bought a bow and arrow kit. He bought one for Austin too! He was so kind. Our friends the Mills invited us over for lunch so we took popsicles to share with his little friends. We had pizza for dinner, opened presents and then went on an evening walk to the park. It was a happy day!!
I have more pictures of Eli opening his presents that I'll post soon! 5 is soon grown up!
The rest of the week we played at the park...
submitted our coloring pages to a coloring contest... (we haven't heard back so I don't think we won, but the boys did get a free ice cream!)
Aaron and I are still going strong on our "Clean simple eats" meal plan. Aaron has been dedicated and lost weight. I've gone back and forth and have the hardest time giving up sweets. This cherry protein shack is my favorite!!
Since I'm not paying for preschool, I justify things like this all the time - we went to sky zone for toddler time when it was raining outside.
We went to the Nature and Science Museum with the Bensons!
then stopped by Alex's house.
The boys got medals and t-shirts for completing flag football! They were so cute playing together.
Saturday we had errands and different obligations in the morning so when we were all home by lunch time, we decided to forget nap time and head to the mountains. It was a beautiful spring day!!
Everyone was exhausted from the hike. hahaha
Birthday weeks are my favorite!! Happy Birthday dear Eli. We love watching you love to learn and we pray it continues!
