More than meets the eye...

Jace turned 5 yesterday! I can't believe 5 years has already passed...I can remember the day of his birth so vividly. We had a family party and BBQ, enjoying our cooler, WINDY, summer weather. We had planned on water activities for the kids but the blow up slide didn't hold up with this crowd...they had more fun climbing and tipping it over than slip-n-sliding on it! Hey, at least they had fun! We topped the evening off with a fun "Olympic obstacle course" which gave us all a good laugh and the cousins just really enjoyed playing outside together. He made a haul with the Transformers, our living room looks like we're under-attack. It seems that Jace's birthday always marks the end of summer for us, makes me wonder, where did this summer go? I'm truly going to enjoy one more year with him home...no Kinder until next fall. He's such a great help and entertains and organizes us all. He and Cade are just the best of friends, it's so fun to sit back and watch. Jace is just a great kid. Happy Birthday Jacers...you are "more than meets the eye!" We love you!!!

Jace with his best buds, Braydon and Jett...how lucky to have cousins his age!

Wyatt, his oldest boy cousin, with all of his "followers"...they idolize Wy and he's so great with all those little guys!

Transformer number ???, we lost count! What a happy boy!

I feel the same as you. Cole with be 5 next month and I can't believe it! Where in the world did the time go? We are keeping Cole out for another year as well and sending him to young 5's instead and starting "Kinder" next year. Glad we did. I think he might be ready but I wanted him 18 when it's time to graduate and go off on his own to college. Boys need that extra year I think. Anyway, take care and know that there is still a little summer left at least!
Love, Suzie
