Davis is FIVE!!

Davis turned FIVE this week! Holy smokes! It's hard to believe that he's really been in our family for five years . . . part of me thinks it's been an eternity that he's been here, and part of me feels like it started yesterday!
We had a very fun little superhero birthday with his friends on Saturday.

 They had several games in the "super hero training," including push-ups, sit-ups, and burpees. Then we went downstairs and shot silly string at a poster that had spiders on it. We also did a pin-the-dot on the Batman insignia, and a target practice as well. The kids thought the games were great.

Blowing out candles on the birthday cupcake. This was actually the only time that he blew out the candles. #momfail. Oh, well.

Then, on Sunday, we had a party with family

He opened his presents, and then we all had ice cream and cake, which was great fun. We had mint ice cream, chosen because he wanted the green one.

On Monday, we had to make a trip to Utah to get both of our fingerprints taken. So, after we got home, we opened presents, and then took the kids to Reed's Dairy and they had ice cream for dinner. Another #momfail. But when it's your birthday, it's okay, right?

Eating lunch in Odgden

Opening his presents from us, including a tool chest that now resides in his bedroom. Along with his legos, his bedroom is now a more popular place than the family room!!

Things I want to remember about Davis turning five:
1. He is still such a nice boy. He always tries to be kind to everyone, especially Reagan.
2. He loves to play pretend. From one moment to the next, he might go from PJ Masks to Batman to Spiderman to Thomas the Train. And every time I try to call him by whatever he is pretending to be, he says, "Mom! I'm just pretending!!" I always say, "Oh, thanks. I get mixed up."
3. Most of his games with Reagan are just one telling the other one what to say. Sometimes they try to tell me what to say too. It never works.
4. Davis is FASCINATED with numbers and letters and EVERYTHING!! He loves to tell me what he has learned in preschool and try to figure out how it works in real life.
5. Davis still loves to sing. He has brought several new songs that he has learned in primary and preschool home with him. They are always fabulous songs!

We love this little boy and can't wait to see what he will turn out to be in his life!
