Happy Birthday Derick!

Our little man has turned 5!!!  I still can't quite believe that it was 5 years ago when we became parents to a handsome baby boy.  Now he's such a funny, smart, social, active, and happy kid.  He is growing like a weed, and is in the 90% for both weight and height.  He enjoys Lego's, playing house with his sister, playing soccer on The Blue Flame, and preschool.  He can write his own name, knows how to count to 100 (with a little help), and is a great helper with all kinds of chores.  His sense of humor is developing and he loves reading books.  He is really into the Wild Kratts on TV and loves to learn about animals. 

Here are a few pictures of all the birthday fun we've had, celebrating our big boy!

 Dinner out on his really day, at Red Robbin. 

A park play date with all of Derick's friends, and mine too!  It was a fun morning, seeing so many mamas and kids that were such a huge part of Derick and I's lives for the last 5 years.  And the rain held off til the end too!

Derick got to celebrate at preschool too!

We celebrated Brian Kunz's birthday along with Derick's in Redmond with a rib feast! 



And last, but not least, we celebrated at home with mostly family and some family friends.  We lucked out, the sun came out and made for a nice afternoon of bouncing, cake, and laughter.

I love you, my big 5 year old boy!
