HaPpY bIrThDaY

 My sweet lil Cameron is getting so big! I still can't believe that he is really 5. It makes me sad to think how quickly the time really does fly....... I still remember sitting at home when he was 2 weeks old and he was crying his eyes out, and I remember thinking how he would grow out of that stage one day, and he would be old enough to go to school and I would be the one crying my eyes out....and now, here we are almost time to enter school.  Where does the time go?
 What a lil stud muffin he is! I am biased, I realize that, but seriously this kid melts my heart every single day. He is one of the sweetest, most loveable boys i have ever met...... 
He has some of the GREATEST reactions ever.  Love the SA-WEEEET bike helmet he got from rockin' Aunt Lisa and Uncle Sam! He gets a comment daily about how cool it is! (thank goodness cause it makes him wanna wear it!)
 Uncle Todd and Aunt Katy always tryin' to think of some CRAZY idea that this kid would love....and well they did it. They got him a girlfriend! :)

He figure he better love on her before he says goodbye for another 11 years to girlfriends.....If his momma has anything to say about that, it'll be 15 :)

 I'd say he was pretty convinced he didn't need her at this point. He just wanted the goods! That was such a blast for the kids! Thanks T& K....!

When I asked Cameron what kind of cake he wanted, his eyes lit up and he said "A ROCKETSHIP!!!" so, I did my best to create one for him! Good thing he is easy to please! :)
 
 Love the big puffy cheekers!
 Korv just wanted the frosting...he couldn't wait to sink those teeth in it.
Of course, I  couldn't help but add a little more to the party....I decided the night before to make JET PACKS for the boys, so they could "blast off". Thanks to Pinterest for that one. They still play with these things to this day!


 We asked Cam if he wanted to have a big birthday party with lots of his friends or if he wanted to invite one friend for a fun filled day to do any activities he wanted and go to eat at any restaurant. 
Well, he didn't even hesitate.
 He wanted to invite Chandler. 
He wanted to go to Treehouse museum. 
He wanted to eat A LOT of pizza somewhere.
And he wanted cake.
 So.......his wish was granted.
  The boys colored these pictures for the museum, then we hit the road....

We stopped to fill up on gas on our way out, and the boys said they NEEDED energy for their day, so we got the essentials.
Skittles & Soda.
Awesome.
 The boys had SOOOO MUCH fun here.  They could have played all day.  But Rex and I were pretty much exhausted after 3 hours!

 This was one of my favorite poses from him! Total classic Cameron pose. 
 Focused. Cute. Totally pullin' the "yeah, I am important, don't bother me" face.
Wish you could see my picture I drew.....I wrote him a birthday note. He said it was his favorite.
see.....he just knows how to melt my heart.♥
 This picture, well, this may all too soon become true.  He literally tells us daily that he wants to be a doctor.  (Along with a pilot, a policeman and ambulance driver.) He actually asked me one day if he could be all 3.
I said sure. :)
 The boys were pretty excited to take this picture. I honestly can't remember why. Maybe cause they finally got their pizza!  Talk about buffets, that is the way to go with boys!
Classic ending to a successful birthday.  A big  fat HUGE piece of cake!
You deserve it little buddy! We love you so much!
Happy Birthday my 5 year old!
