Parkerman is 5 today!

Our biggest boy is 5 today! Can you believe it? We cannot believe it ourselves! It was only 5 short years ago that we were given new names of Mommy and Daddy! I'll never forget that day as it changed our lives for the better! We were blessed with an affectionate, loving, caring, smart, and silly young man. We can only hope that in the next 5 years he'll continue to grow in his pleasant ways. ;)

Todays agenda was left up to him. Last night he planned it all out...park, fire station, McDonald's, and Toys R Us. This morning when he woke up it hadn't changed. Since our friends were still here we decided to hit the park first followed by lunch at McDonald's. We played on the playground, went for a hike, and went creek stompin or wading for them. They were up to their waists in water. It was chilly but they had a blast. After Micky D's our friends headed back to IL and we headed home for a much needed nap for our middle child. Our day didn't start out great at ALL! After C's nap Daddy took the boys with him for a bit. When they got home we headed to the Toys R Us where P got to pick out a toy from us. ( We did it a bit different this year. We let him pick whatever he wanted to out. He has been wanting a new remote control car for a while now so that is what he got...a BIG one. Then we headed next door to end the day with a little Chuck E. Cheese. Again, they had a blast and ate pizza like it was going out of style. Then we came home and had some cake. He got to bed a lot later than usual so I imagine he'll be a little sleepy at school tomorrow, but you only turn 5 once right?! So I hope we made the most of his birthday this year. He did mention that we didn't have a big party, but I don't think he really minded because we've had 3 parties already with family. He's received presents and not too many...PERFECT if you ask me.

And what better way to start off his 6 year of life than heading to school all day, everyday! Fun stuff!

We love you to the moon and back P!
