Caleb's Birthday!









I am now the Mother of a five year old! I now know why parents say that children grow up to fast! I probably feel that way due to missing the first four years of his life. Anyway onto the fun news!
Joshua and I wanted to make the kids birthdays a big deal. We went grocery shopping Tuesday and let Caleb pick out his very own cereal for his Birthday Breakfast! He chose Chocolate Lucky Charms. (A boy after his Daddy's heart!) This morning the entire family enjoyed the cereal and sang "Happy Birthday too Caleb" We then got dressed and left for Bounce Zone. Bounce Zone is a child's dream come true. They have one large room filled with nine gigantic inflatable slides, bouncers, and obstacle courses as well as a smaller room with three toddler sized inflatable bouncers and a slide. The kids played harder then I've ever seen them play before. Up down and all around! Caleb could not get enough of the slides. Bekah-Lynn is usually my Energizer Bunny but this time Caleb didn't want to go. He was even willing to skip lunch entirely! We finally convinced him that we should eat and let him chose between McDonalds and Chick-fil-a. He decided on Chick-Fil-A. While we were in the restaurant Daddy left to get the cake from Wal-Mart and Mommy had to sing "Happy Birthday" three more times. :) We could barely get them home before they all crashed but we managed.
After nap time Caleb found a Train Cake and presents on the table. He was so fun to watch blow out the candles. We sang Happy birthday 2 more times. :). After He blew out the candles he opened his presents from Mommy & Daddy, (the red robe) Bekah-Lynn & Stephen, (cool spy gear) as well as Grandma and Grandpa Jones (a suit just like Daddy's).
Before bedtime all of the kids were allowed to watch Leap Frog's Math Circus and Letter Factory. To be honest those are the only shows they will actually sit through. Not a bad thing at all I suppose. :)
