Where in the crap did the last 5 years go?

Ethan had a birthday almost two weeks ago. (I'm really a slacker, I know.) I cannot believe that he is 5 and getting ready for kindergarten. I always thought I would be happy to send my kids off to school, but I must say, I'm not happy about it at all. I know that I still have a few months, but I can't seem to get it off my mind. Anyway, the birthday was great. In fact, he loved it so much that at the end of the day, he asked me if since we were having a party the next day, would he be turning 6? I love this little boy, who is growing up rather quickly. I love being his mom and friend. He is a great kid. We had friends (including a couple of very brave girls) over for a party on his birthday, and family over on Sunday.

There was mass chaos during present time...


Showing off his water shooter from his friends.

The one with the pink bows is Taygan, his favorite girl. (Next to his mother, of course!)

The whole group. Those two cute girls were awfully brave, and didn't know how to take these crazy boys!

Such a fun group of friends! I love that our street is smothered with boys!

Mr. Grabby pants. That would be blue frosting all over his face. Could you resist those sparkly blue eyes??? Yea, me neither. Or Aunt Nee.

Showing off his new remote control car.


To top off the night, Aiden decided to sneak over to the neighbors house and sit on the sprinklers.

Gotta love being a kid!
