5

We have 2 FIVE year olds in our house today!!!! WOW:) It is completely amazing to me how fast these five years have gone...I think that it feels like we brought them home from the hospital yesterday, and now all of a sudden, today they are 5!! It is just unexplainable...

They are having a great day so far...they have gotten a lot of calls, texts and many Happy Birthday wishes from our wonderful family and friends!! They had a great day at school...they took cupcakes for treats, Ayden wanted chocolate and Elliott wanted white!! Kind of describes them to a T...they are their own person that is for sure:) Thank you to all!!

They came home from school and had a surprise waiting for them! Balloons:) Their friends, Bailey and Mallory, had them sent over for them! So nice!! Thank you:)

Now, we are having a "rest time" considering they don't want to take naps anymore! oh, 5 year olds:) Elliott told me this morning "So, since we are 5 now Mom, we are grown up!" Oh, really!!! hmmmm, I hope for a few more years before we can call you that...And Ayden said "well, we are 5, now we can go to kindergarten!" Geez, throw it all at me, huh, boys!! Hardly seems right, but kindergarten registration is next week already!!! wow, and pretty soon it will be August and they will be heading off for full days at school...oh my!!

Well, the rest of the day should be more fun...we are planning on taking the boys for supper, where ever they choose, and just letting them celebrate being the Big 5:)
Here are is a picture of them this morning, and some more of them when they were younger...I only got out one disc of pics from the "younger" days, so I just picked a few that made me smile...Hard to believe!!

WE love you Ayden!! WE love you Elliott!! Happy Birthday Boys!!
