Big Number 5 & Smores

Yes it has almost been 3 months since Will's birthday and I still haven't posted any pictures. Well, here they are. We had a fun pizza party at our house that evening. I made 8 homemade pizza's using Tonya's amazingly easy pizza crust recipe. My friend Rachel offered to bake a race car cake per Will's request. She is so talented. The night was great.

I cannot believe how big this guy is getting. He is simply wonderful. He is always helping me clean, cook or anything else he can think of to help. He loves to work, loves to watch Tangled...and I even catch him singing the songs from it in the shower. haha He has the sweetest little Spirit and is one of my best friends. I am going to have one hard time sending him to school this year. Last night, he crawled up in bed with me as I was watching Gone With the Wind and leaned his head on my shoulder and said, "Mama this is the best night ever." It's moments like that which make me want to stop the hands of time. I sure love my grownup boy. We are so happy you are 5 Will!!!



We love having cousins so close! This is Kya (Bree's 2 year old), Grant, Will, & Tate (Jer's 2 year old).



Grant LOVES to sleep like this. More often than not, this is the position we find him in when he sleeps. We call him the stinkbug. He keeps us all smiling around here. Oh by the way...I am in desperate need for potty training tips. He is now 3 1/2 years old and has no desire to potty train. Anything work for other mom's out there?! I'm desperate.



Jer & Chelle invited us over for a pre-summer cookout in the backyard. It's still not super warm, but we all loved it. Here's the group eating S'mores. Ahhh...can't wait for camping.
