Bugsy Turns 5!

My youngest son turned 5 last week. He is definitely a big boy now. He was very excited about his birthday & had been counting down the days all summer.

He chose Chinese food for his special dinner.

After supper he chose to do presents before cake.

He started with the biggest box.
He had seen the box sitting in my room for at a week.

Oh, the anticipation!

Surprise! His own tent!

Of course you need a flashlight to go with it.

Elvis gave him his toy camera.

Elvis also bought him silly bands with his own $.

From Sweet Pea

From Mommy

C-A-N-D-Y!

More silly bands!

From Sweet Pea

She thought of this & bought it all on her own.

From Boo Bear

It was full of candy, coins & stickers.

A horn for his bike.

Buzz to the rescue!

Transformer silly bands.

He also received CARS & Thomas the Tank Engine ones.

Posing with all his birthday goodies

Yep, they are all his.

And he received even MORE later!

Cake time!

Making his wish

A very happy birthday boy.

Being goofy!

He told us he had a terrific birthday. I can't believe another year has passed. I am so blessed to have been there every day to see him grow & to celebrate this special day.

More Birthday

Bugs loved his presents from Grandpa & Grandma M. too!

A big boy football & an airplane!

Dave was just as excited over the football as Bugsy! Lol!

The bubble wrap was a big hit too! Pop! Pop! Pop!

Growing Up

Our Little Boy

My little boy turned 4! How did this happen? This is my sweet baby boy who filled my arms & comforted me when I lost our little Rose in a miscarriage. I will never forget how relieved we were when he arrived safely into the world. We had held our breath for over 9 months almost afraid to hope that he would be born safe & healthy. Dave, Sweet Pea, Boo Bear, Elvis & I all rejoiced when we brought him home. He has added so much to our family & we praise God for him.

Here are his birthday pics!

Pizza was his dinner of choice.

He wanted me to take a picture of Thomas & James.

YUM!

Boo gave them all party hats. Lol!

A dinosaur from his big brother.

Reusable Thomas stickers & scene.

He has been wanting this since July!

Daddy & Princess watch.

Cool car! It changes colors too!

Another Thomas train!

DC 100 engine!

A new DVD too! He loves Thomas the Tank Engine!

Star Scream! Yay!

Now it's time to play with all Bugs' new toys.

His birthday cake....Thomas the Tank Engine of course. =0)

A big ol' bite of ice cream cake.

Elvis likes it too.

Everyone agreed that Dairy Queen makes a very good cake!

Not sure what he's thinking but loved his expression. Lol.

Elvis told Bugs he had one more present for him. Then he got up from the table and gave Bugs a giant hug. My heart melted right there on the spot

So good!

See what blue icing does?

After cake it was time to try out the new trains & other toys.
