Bryson's 5

On Saturday we had Bryson's birthday party. I can't believe that he is five. I know that it is an overused saying that time flies, but it really does. I was thinking about the day that he was born, and remembering how scared I was. I was so scared that I wasn't going to be the mom that this little boy needed, and that I it was going to be so hard. Well I was right that is was going to be hard, but being Bryson's mom has been one of the greatest things that I have ever done and the most rewarding. I love him so much, and he challenges me in ways that I never thought possible. He is the best thing that I have ever done, and I know that with the exception of his brother my greatest joy.
What Bryson is into right now?
• Hiking with his dad
• Playing his leapster2
• Riding his bike
• Reading, no he can't read yet, but don't tell him that.
• Playing on the computer. He has informed me that he is going to be a computer genius when he gets bigger. (Here's to hoping)
Bryson is also:
• Extremely kind
• Smart
• Patient
• Picky eater
• Goofy
• Lovable

The party was so much fun. I got to decorate the house, and make the cake. Bryson asked me to make a clown cake, and I enjoyed making it. I love baking so this was so much fun for me. It took all day, and the hardest part was letting people eat it.

The boys had fun helping me every step of the way.

Bryson gave me a list of the friends that he wanted to invite to his party. With the exception of two of his friends from school he wanted his cousins to come. It is so awesome that he is surrounded by his family. The kids had a lot of fun painting and creating their hats. We also went down to the park, and played games.  



I had to add these picture, because this Cameron is so cute! I just love her, and I'm glad she came to play too.



After building up and appetite we came back to the house to eat pizza, and cake.

Look close at the top right picture and you can see that Zak has his tongue out. He is ready to play with that car.

I don't know who was more excited to open gifts, but everyone was willing to help him. It was fun to watch, and I'm so glad that everyone was able to come.
