Brayden turns 5!

What a difference 5 makes. Brayden is 5 years old today. I have had a lot of people tell me that 5 is the perfect age and I am starting to believe them. What a caring, intelligent, energetic, sweet, talented boy he has become. Here are some of Brayden's favorite things at 5:

Brayden's birthday party

We had a sportball party for Brayden's birthday this year. A coach came to the school and lead the kids in various sporting activities. All the kids had a blast, esp. Brayden who kept saying all day that it was the best birthday ever. We did a Star Wars theme for the invites, decorations and cupcakes. It took me 7 hours to make these little babies, but they were worth it! R2D2, light sabers, Yoda, red, blue and black clones, C3PO and some with just plain stars.
Brayden and Walker - great shirts!!

Big smiles!

High jump.

Getting ready to score.

Listening to instructions, I think Patton was the only one paying attention :)

Make a wish

mmmmmm.

Chocolate icecream too?

Maybe this is why it was the best bday ever - Brayden got his long awaited Nintendo DS and star wars game of course.
