Climb Climb Climb....

...wait a minute didn't I just have a post like this. Well it was Tanner's turn for climbing higher. Let's just say I got there just in time to take his picture and give him a hug.

WAY TO GO TANNER!!!!!


And I can't forget brotherly love. I know I've said this a hundred times, but Bennett LOVES Warren. Here they are snuggling on the chair together. Bennett wants to hold Warren all the time, so I let them snuggle and watch tv for a few minutes. Notice the blanket...Bennett hates blankets but he will use one if Warren is involved.

Happy Birthday Matthew!!!!

So, for a few months I have two 5 year olds. Matt turned 5 on Saturday. The celebrations started on Thursday when he went to sleep over at my parents house and a movie on Friday. Saturday he wanted a party. So he got his first friends party. (Saturday night we went out to eat with Davis' parents at Matt's favorite place too eat...Sizzler, he was super bummed they didn't have chocolate icecream this time.)

He had a few small requests....one....chocolate cake and icrecream...so I made him an icecream cake. It was a total last minute thing so nothing fancy, but he loved it and that's what counts.

His next request was pinata. Man these are a waste of money. Oh well, I told him he could get it. He also requested certain people at his party. He was specific on who to invite and who not to invite. It was funny because we spend a lot of time with our neighbors, they have a boy Tanners age a girl just older than Ady and a girl 18 months younger than Matt....anyway he told the oldest boy he was NOT invited (because originally it was going to be a Bakugan party and said boy doesn't like Bakugans.) He told older girl, no girls allowed, but her little sister could come. LOL At first he wanted an all boy party, but then couldn't figure out how to invite Ella to an all boy party and since Ella couldn't be the only girl we had to invite Afton (our other friends that have boys just older than matt and Afton is just younger.) He was hilarious in choosing the guests. But if you asked him enough he'd give in and let EVERYONE come. So we kept it to the smaller kids.

Bennett LOVED it too.

This is a great picture of Ady...if you can't tell she is jumping in the air. Her first swing took the hangy thing off the pinata, so it came crashing down. Davis tied a noose around the head to finish it off. Pretty funny!

Presents, he loved all his presents.

Games, Tanner was AWESOME at planning games and he loved being in charge of them. It also gave Mom time to finish cake...LOL. This one makes me laugh since one of the boys put his sticker (on accident...yeah right Cooper) on his um, crotch!

So a little tidbit about Matthew. He prefers to be called Matt! He was super bummed to find out he couldn't go to kindergarten the Monday after his birthday, he wants to go sooooo bad. He hates doing chores and has to go potty the second you tell him to do something he doesn't want to do. Loves to wrestle with Tanner and can get pretty rough....teases Bennett like CRAZY! He is my tease. Is very deaf to mom and dads voice....but if you yell at him or get in his face because he's not listening....will cry and say you hurt his feelings. Goes with the flow and only causes trouble when he is super bored....will generally entertain self...borders on anti-social. But, he's my favorite Matthew ever. He's almost always happy...will eat whatever I am serving and say he LOVES it! Loves his Mommy, but also loves one-on-one with Grandma and Poppie.
