You got to play all day with Quinton and Clara. We went swimming at the Apple with Grandma Packer and once again I tried to get you to swim without your vest and you do not like it! You can swim like a fish with that vest, but you are petrified without it! We then spent the day at Grandma's enjoying the wonderful, warm Spring weather.

Usually, you and Quinton buddy up during playtime, but you also really like hanging out with Clara and you two are great buddies!

You are so excited to go to church tomorrow and bring your little scriptures.

Happy 5th Birthday! What a great birthday! You have been so excited for this birthday and have been talking about it for a year and a half! You know that being 5 means you get to go to kindergarten and you can't wait!

I really hope you had a wonderful day! It started with the house being decorated with banners and balloons and 5 helium balloons hanging on your bed. You had blue pancakes with candles for breakfast and got to wear a new shirt with a happy birthday boy ribbon. You went to pre-school and was thrilled that they sang happy birthday to you. When I picked you up, you asked if we could go to lunch and McDonalds with Cooper, so that's what we did and Cooper gave you a kite and M&M's.

After a nap, Heather, Quinton and Clara showed up and then Jeni, John and Mackayla came over and Grandma brought Logan and we had your requested dinner of grilled cheese sandwiches and jello. I added deviled eggs and tomato soup. Jeni, John and Mackayla made a pinata, so everyone had a lot of fun hitting it!

Grandma made you a great dog cake, which was also your request. For the last week, you kept telling me that all you wanted for your birthday was "little scriptures". So, I got you a small Book of Mormom, and you were thrilled. I also got you a play ATM, that is a bank, which you have been wanting from Walgreens forever! Connor got you Diego boat playset, Grandma Packer got you 2 Lego sets, Heather got you a Lightsaber, The Bybees got you two Transformers and a set of "Hero" flashcards.

You had a lot of fun playing with Connor, Logan, Quinton, Clara and John and before you went to sleep tonight, you asked me if tomorrow was also your birthday, and when I said no, you said, "Like Christmas". I hope that means you had a great day!

You are truly my rainbow in my life! I love you so much and 5 years ago you completely changed my life! You are an amazing little boy and I am so proud of you! You bring me happiness every day! You have a kind heart and you care about others around you. I love you, my little 5 year old!
