*Brodyn turns the big 5*

Here is our handsome 5 year old

We started Brodyns birthday out by opening presents, then preschool, his favorite place Panda Express for lunch, playing with his new toys all afternoon and finally a little party at Flip N' Out.

Flip N' Out

Instead of cake we did snow cones

I have no idea how the last five years went by so fast, but I still can't grasp the fact that I have a 5 year old. Brodyn you are the best boy any mom and dad could ever ask for. From the very first time that your dad and I laid our eyes on you we knew you were going to do great things and be very special. I will never forget the nurse in the NICU telling me that they thought you weren't going to make it and they had no idea how to tell a new mommy what had happened. I don't know what I would have done if you would have gone back to our Heavenly Father and I still to this day thank him for giving us the opportunity to be your parents and have you in our family. You continually amaze your dad and I by what you say and how smart you are. I love that you always ask me, "are you thinking what I am thinking?", you are an amazing big brother and Dredyn loves to follow you around and do everything that you are doing, he looks up to you and loves you very much. You always know when mommy is having a hard day and your kisses and hugs mean the world to me. You are such a mommas boy and I am sad that you are becoming more of a daddys boy, but I am grateful that you want to hang out with dad more. Your testimony is growing right in front of our eyes and it is such a blessing to see that you enjoy going to church and love to learn about the gospel. You are fun, loving, caring, very energetic, a great artist, your imagination is constantly going, you are very handsome and we are so glad that you are a part of our family. I can't imagine one single day with out you. Your dad, brother and I love you very much. Happy 5th Birthday!!!
