Adam Turns 6

I can't beleive that Adam is 6. I swear we were just celebrating his 4th birthday. It's surreal that he is suddenly 6 years old, losing teeth, learning to read and spell, and growing into such an amazing boy. We couldn't be more proud of what a great kid he his. He is such a loving, sweet, smart and genuine kid.
Sadly, he is outgrowing his love for anything Thomas the Train related, though he did tell us to "keep them just in case". He was asking for anything related to turtles, lizards, nerf guns, movies, lego's, or anything with a remote. He got his wish! His friends were very generous in the gift giving department and he was amazed at all his fun new toys. We made sure to sit down right away and do thank you cards, and Adam did a great job. He is just learning to write, so he was able to write "Thank you, Adam" and draw everyone a nice picture.
We planned a very fun birthday party for him at the jumping place, and invited all his friends. It was so much fun! All of Matt's college buddies and their families were there, and I think the grown men had more fun than the kids. I do remember one of them declaring "this is the best birthday party EVER"! LOL It was so much fun watching them all have so much fun. I was busy trying to take as many pictures as I could, and used up two memory cards! I think I need to relax on the picture front a little bit LOL. We have a great group of friends, and are so lucky to have had them celebrate such a fun event with us. Our friend Heather made Adam turtle cupcakes, which everyone declared the best cupcakes they have ever eaten, so they were a big hit.
Sadly, little Hallie was so sick, so she couldn't come. She had been battling a cold for over a week, and woke up with a fever, and was run down. We brought her so we could get a picture of her and the kids and Dad's, but she had to leave with Grammy and Grandpa. Poor girl got sick later that night and was sick allll night long. We are bummed she missed out, but promised to take her there another time to make up for it.

Later that night we had our families over, and Adam got to have another celebration, complete with a bug cake, and a few more presents. Happy Birthday to our big boy 6 year old, we love you so very, very much!!
