Party Like You're FIVE

It hasn't sunk in yet that my baby is five! Troy couldn't be a better big brother and we are so glad to have him in our family. He has been excited for his birthday and has been planning and planning for his party; it turned out to be a blast for our handsome little man.

You would have thought it was Christmas morning when Troy came running into our room bright and early on the morning of his party announcing that it had SNOWED. Jer has been working night shifts and has been running the house while I've had to sit around; but the boys were able to play in the "skiff" a little before he had to leave to grab some party necessities.

Troy went out with his dad the day before to pick out a batman cake, but changed plans when he saw the toys on top of this "How to Train Your Dragon" cake, do you blame him?!

Getting the party started with some pizza of course!

Making the big wish, and yes it was a big wish (he wished for a zip-line)

Cake time with some buddies




















Troy loved all his gifts and was busy the entire time! He requested the "fishing game" like Brock had at his party and each kid fished out a pair of goofy disguises and a bag of cowboys v. indians

Troy knows that the birthday boy gets to choose dinner, so after the party wound down we took off to Red Robin that night so I could "take of picture when they sing and give out the dessert!" This guy doesn't like attention.at.all. ;)

Since the next day was his birthday we celebrated some more! FIVE candles, FIVE fingers?!?! 

He's been overdue for a bigger bike. I love how excited Brock was too, (I caught him in the middle of a jump in the center pic)

He couldn't wait to try it out. He took off and should be a pro after a few more bike rides! Jer looks pretty cool riding his wifies little bike too :)

It made his birthday even more special getting to skype and talk with all of our Idahoans. His gifts, cards, and birthday wishes he received should hold him over until next year :)
