He's been waiting a whole year for this...

Ever since his last birthday he's been asking to turn 5 years old. Well, it's finally here. We are celebrating his big day with birthday doughnuts, a trip with his dad to the driving range (thanks to papa Rick for his brand new golf clubs!) and dinner out at Red Robin. Tomorrow we will party hard with all our friends. I just love celebrating my kids' birthdays, being able to celebrate how much I love them and how grateful I am that they are a part of my life.

I would never be able to express how much I love this little boy. He has his quirks that can drive me nuts, but that makes him Blake. I've never seen a boy love his sister as much as Blake loves Lexie. Lexie and Blake have a special bond and sometimes I think Blake loves her as much as I do, and that is a lot! I'm so grateful for this little boy in our lives and all the joy and happiness that he brings his father and I.

Happy birthday Bubba boy, you stole my heart the moment I saw you!
