Happy Birthday to my sweet sweet boy.

In true Reece fashion, we had bumps, bruises, and scrapes on his birthday.
He got a basketball hoop. Hoping to have another outlet for all that energy!

Those eyes...


So excited to see Woody and cake since junkfood is his favorite food group.

We really kept things lighter on the gift side this year. He got a basketball hoop, Toy Story movie, Woodie from us. Don't worry he has Buzz too that was in his Easter basket.

I asked Avery to put the sprinkles on and she used the whole bottle. Reece's name is under there somewhere!

Attempting a hug during all the excitement.

Love my little buddy. He's my greatest challenge, but also brings the hardiest laughs.

I love you Reece. I can't wait to see what kind of man you are going to grow up to be. Your daddy is doing an amazing job teaching you how to treat a lady and I know he loves that you follow him around everywhere with your "tools" and copy everything he does. You're starting to help daddy a lot and even loved using your wagon to spread mulch around the yard!

Your sisters and I will probably drive you crazy wiht all the talking and "girly" stuff, but I think God gave you a strong, sweet, silly personality to handle that!

Love,

Mommy

Avery and I post recital.

These are Avery's techers.

Fun with Mommy and that gorgeous hair.

Camera doing some weird things.



Is this guy not hot? Still makes my heart pitter patter. He brought his baby girl a bouquet of bright colorful daisies. I love how he loves his kids.

Avery's BFF showed up with flowers. So beyond cute. We didn't know Kaiden was coming to the recital and she gave Avery the prettiest rose for her performance. What a sweetie!

There are never enough kisses to go around for Ellie. She was a trooper while I chaperoned Avery's class. Just slept in the baby bjorn for most of it.

Here are all the girls. There is nothing cuter than 5 year old ballerinas. Avery was up for striking a pose. My shy little sweetheart blossoms when she is in ballet. It has been so great for her socially.

She's growing up. I kept picturing her in high school while watching the older girls perform and it makes me try to savor each of these moments.

AVERY: I am so proud of you honey. You did an awesome job and I so proud of your good behavior and politeness while waiting to perform. I hope that you follow through with ballet and continue to enjoy it as we love watching you learn and dance.

Comments where for art thou?

What's up with you all not commenting anymore? I'm starting to get a complex about it.

(this is to my fam, anyone else please don't be offended)
