Samuel's 5th Birthday!

Craziest thing ever that this boy is 5 now!! We're actually going to have two in school in the Fall... What an awesome little man he is growing into! He had a ton of fun this year!! Some of his favorite presents included a bunch of "new" toy cars that were actually Jared's when he was little, and then surprisingly, a little toy harmonica (it always seems to be the free to $5 presents that they love the best, somehow!) :) He also got a transformer pinata this year, which he was SO excited about!! And we all went bowling for his birthday as well - which is becoming a tradition for him to pick to do... These guys were actually pretty good at rolling those balls down there by themselves this time (with bumper pads, of course) - we couldn't believe all the strikes and spares!! They had a lot of fun! Anyway, lots of fun birthdays around this house lately... (We are always secretly relieved when Samuel's ends the birthday & holiday streak for us every year now - we have a good six months until the next one starts it all up again)... :)
As always, Timothy would not be left out of the fun! We also had a hard time getting him to relinquish the stick, once we let him have a try!
