Cole's 5th Birthday Party

Cole turned 5 on October 24th, and this birthday hit me hard for some reason. My little boy is growing up and as exciting and proud as it makes us to see him grow and learn, it also makes this mommy very sad some times. Why is it that the hours in the days sometime seem to creep by at a snails pace, but the weeks, months and years somehow fly by? I completely remember every detail of the day he was born and have a very hard time believing that that was almost 5 years ago. I love this little boy more than I ever thought I could love someone. He is such a sensitive and emotional boy and yet these are the qualities I love most about him. He tries so hard to take care of me when Jim is traveling and even at this young age, it's almost like he realizes he is the man of the house when daddy is gone. Yes, he fights with his sister non-stop and sometimes it drives me so crazy, I just want to scream (and of course I do!) but I guess that is just what siblings do sometimes. I know he will eventually grow out of this and be the best big brother who always watches out for his younger sisters. Your daddy and I LOVE you sooooo much Cole Meyer and we are so proud of the man you are becoming!! For his birthday this year, we decided to have a party at our house and invite the neighborhood friends and families. I bought little pumpkins for all of the kids and had them decorate them in the garage with paint, stickers, feathers, etc...We also had a pinata which is always a hit with the kids. Cole received lots of great gifts and was so happy for his big day. Thank you to all of our friends and family for making his birthday such a special day for him.
