Another one bites the dust!

Monkey lost his 2nd tooth! This time while with Grandmom & Pops!

Monkey lost his 1st tooth!

He was sitting in the movies with Nana and it fell out! We'd been working on it a few days now...he was sooo excited :)

Monkey's Birthday Party

Monkey had been taking a "superheros tumbling class" at a local gymnastics place, and he decided that's where he wanted his birthday party :) The kids had a blast, and I'm so glad he had a GREAT 5th birthday party!!!

Monkey's big birthday gift

We took Monkey to see Marvel SuperHeros LIVE as his birthday gift this year :) He had some buddies come along and loved it! 

Monkey is 5 now!

I'm not quite sure where the last 5 years went, but I am sure that we've enjoyed every single second with this guy here. He is so wonderful and funny and smart and active and friendly and I could go on and on and on. I'm sad that he's growing up so quickly, but I'm so excited to see him grow :) 

The stats from his 5 year check up:

~ 44.4lbs

~ 43.75 inches

Here's some pics from his birthday morning :) 

Our elves, Winter & Wyatt, wore party hats :) 

He wanted a cinnabon breakfast :) 

Playing with his new toy! 

I picked him up early from pre school and took him for a little treat :) 

After the whole family was home, he opened gifts from Grandmom & Pops and played with his gifts! 

He had a great day! 

The weekend BEFORE his birthday, we went and saw Marvel Superheros LIVE. 

The weekend AFTER his birthday, we had his 5th birthday party :) 

10yr and 4yr stats

Buddy - 10 year stats! :)

Monkey - 4 year stats! :)

Monkey's 4 year photos

Since Monkey wasn't about posing for the camera...I just followed him with the camera :) 

And then this happened...be still my heart...

Then, after this trip around the circle, he got off his "bike", came over and gave me a hug. I said "thanks Monkey, what was that for?" And he said "cause it's my birthday!"

I think that's his way of saying "cause i love you!" :) 

And here are a few pics I took on my phone...

action shot!

Seriously?! The coolness!!!!!!!!
