Cade's 5th Birthday

Time to catch up on some posts from this spring!  Cade is officially five years old, and completely head over heels obsessed with everything Transformer.  We threw him a party at Metroplex Gym and had a total blast!  Nick and I thought the place was so cool we might rent it out for my birthday this year! Foam pit, zip line, three indoor tree houses, slides, and trampolines? Yes, please!

 

This little boy has stolen my heart.

And I bet after seeing this pic he has stolen your heart as well.

And Optimus Prime has very clearly stolen his heart.

Ahhh, this boy!

His hats constantly do that to his little ears. Swoon!

                                    He is infatuated. I worried about the day a girl would come and steal his heart, now I kind of know what that's like.
 

                                       And there is Doodles' signature closed eye smile.

The sweet teenager who ran the party was amazing! He knew exactly what the kids would like and did a wonderful job of leading them through different activities. I was so impressed with how he motivated each of the kids (and even all of the little girls!) to do the zip line 9 foot drop off into a foam pit!  I will never forget Audrey being so brave or McKenzie going for it in her denim mini-skirt. It brought tears to my eyes to see these  kids be so brave and do something that would make me absolutely terrified! I loved every single minute of watching them zip line.

Cade's whole preschool class was invited along with some special family friends.

On his real birthday we had dinner at home with an Optimus Prime fighting Megatron cake.

The Target bakery delivered!!!

                                 Cade blowing out his candles. I can't believe he's a real little boy.
I always sound like Pinnochio when I say that, but I remember holding this teeny tiny baby and talking to him in my tummy the moment I got that positive pregnancy test, and now here he is. A real live five year old!
