Happy 5th birthday, Reed!

I can't believe Reed is 5!  Boy do we love this kid!  Here are 5 things we love about our not-so-little boy:

1. He cares about others, especially his little sister and brother.  He often "takes one for the team" to keep Taryn happy and is always trying to make Corbin laugh.  He also absolutely loves his friends.

2.  Reed has a great imagination.  He makes up words and games all the time.  He can go for days without playing with traditional toys, because he spends most of his time "make believing."

3.  He still wants to be snuggled.

4.  He often tells us how much he loves us....especially when I make his favorite dinners. :)

5.  He is really obedient.  Sure, he doesn't listen all the time, but he is a big rule follower.  When we first moved into our house, Kevin told Reed that anywhere besides our driveway was "out-of-bounds."  The other day when friends were over and they were near our neighbor's driveway, Reed wouldn't go because it was "out-of-bounds."  

The past 5 years have been such a blessing with this boy in our lives!



Our family celebration at home


Getting prepped for the friend party: rockets!


The grub



We hunted for silver moon rocks,


shot aliens with squirt guns,


and of course, ate cupcakes. 




We opened presents, 


and hit an "alien" pinata.  Yeah, I tried and failed at making my own moon pinata.  Kevin had to run to Walmart the morning of the party and this was as close as we got to fitting the space theme. 


Luckily, we had a 8 year old (Harry) at the party to help bust the pinata open. :)
