Carter's 5!

This kid is 5! Like when did this happen? I still am having a hard time knowing I have a 5 year old on my hands! His birthday was March 12th and birthdays in our house are a big deal! Mom tells them Happy Birthday 100 hundred times a day, we usually try to do something as a family, some activity, go out to eat, I decorate the house and then try and do cake and ice cream with our extended  family and sometimes we do them all at once! Sometimes we party for a whole week! Carter is lucky and his birthday is always during spring break so Mom and Dad have more time at home than usual!

This birthday we ate at Chili's earlier in the week and and watched a movie! Then on his actual birthday we had a swim party! 

Singing Happy Birthday to him! It took him a bit to recognize we were singing to him!

Once it registered he jumped right up and happy to see us holding presents!

Baylee acted as excited as him!

Half Shell Heros!

I'm 5!

Checking out his new toys!

Then turned around to see his new bike!

Finally got one his size!

After a softball tournament in St. George we headed over to my Uncle Matt's house and had a pizza, swim party and invited all the cousins! We had a blast! Carter kept saying it was the best birthday ever!

Getting ready to go down the slide!

The water was a little cold to adjust to at the bottom!

He loved it!

Owen hanging out with Grandma! The water was just a little to cold for him!

Not sure about going down the slide!

I didn't have time to make a cake so Costco it was! It was a PJ mask birthday and because they aren't very popular yet we just had to stick with the colors!

Singing!

Made his wish and now blowing out the candles!

Got brave and jumped from the hot tub to the pool!

Enjoy the evening and each other's company!

Yummy cake!

Cleaned up and headed home with full belly's and tired kids!

Happy Birthday Carterman! We sure do love you!
