James Micheal is 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my little man is 5 years old now. Can I just say I do not like this growing up business. We started his birthday off by taking him to the fair on Saturday, since his birthday is always right around fair time we have made it a tradition. Our good friends Russ and Emily came up for the weekend so they got to join us at the fair. James Micheal loved the animals, he always does, but he was really into them this year! He has already told us when he grows up he wants to be an animal doctor! Here he is with some of his favorite things. Petting Baby Goats

Petting the Sheep!


Enjoying the Cows!


AAAHHHHH! Honey BEES!


Don't worry, no bunnies were harmed in the making of this picture!

Being put in jail, at the fair by the Sheriff. Let's just say I think it freaked him out enough that he will be on the straight and narrow from now on.

Sunday was James Micheal's actual birthday. We went to church and he love being sang too, and getting his candy from the bishop. We came home and had cake and icecream. I decorated the cake Saturday night, not realizing I had gotten the wrong cake decorating tools until 10 at night. So I made due with plastic bags and food coloring. Emily, Amber, and I had a good laugh trying to create this thing. It definitely isn't my best character cake but James didn't care. He told me Sunday morning he only licked the frosting twice! HA HA! Here is a pic of the disaster and him opening his presents.







Can I just say that this kid is loved soo much. I am going to be so sad next year with his first day of school. He has been such a great helper to me I don't know what I will do without him. As I was putting him to bed last night, I said to him," Ya know what I was doing this time five years ago." He said,"What". I said," I was hugging and kissing you for the first time and realizing how much you were going to change my life." I then put him to bed and cried a little as I marked his b-day off the calendar. It just all goes so fast. We LOVE YOU JAMES MICHEAL! Happy 5th Birthday!
