I'm 5 (finally)!!

The past week has gone something like this. 

"Mom, how many days until my birthday?" 

"Five." 

"How many days until my birthday is it tomorrow."

"Four."

Next Day:

"Mom, how many days until my birthday?"

"Four."

"How many days until my birthday is it tomorrow?"

"Three."

....

So, you can bet that I was awfully excited when it was finally my birthday TODAY!!

The day was pretty awesome. Even though we were out late last night I was up bright and early and ready to start the day. First my mom and I got up to decorate my birthday cake. 

We had homemade chocolate sheet cake that I helped make!

Once my dad and sister were awake we got to open some presents. PRESENTS!!!

I got some awesome stuff. Books, legos, cowboy boots, and real GOLF CLUBS!!

I am totally read to hit the driving range with my dad.

Later in the afternoon my birthday party started. I had some great friends come over and we had a great day. For awhile we just played in my room (it was really hot outside) but later we had a great treasure hunt the my parents planned for us. We ended up finding a treasure box filled with gold chocolate coins in the sandbox!

After pizza we had CAKE! And then we burned off that sugar by smacking around pinata (which was filled with candy!).

I had a great day. My parents asked me what was the best part and I just had to say "all of it."

CANNONBALL!!!!!!

"TO INFINBITY AND BEYOND"*

(*this is how Robby says Infinity)

Did you get wet?

Another good thing about Disney

LOTS OF ICE CREAM!

I know it may look like I was grimacing in this photo, but really I was just trying to concentrate on eating my ice cream, walking and trying not to drop too much chocolate all at the same time. It's hard to do in a crowded theme park.

And there was MORE ICE CREAM the next day!

This time I got to sit in the stroller and enjoy a huge cone of mint chocolate chip. And you know what made this cone even better? I got it from INSIDE A TRAIN!!!

Make new friends/Keep the old

We had a great couple of days at DisneyLand. I was so excited to go to Mickey's "California house" and I was so excited to see some familiar faces there.

It's always nice to see Goofy.

And McQueen... we go way back (look here).

I made a great new friend too. Buzz Lightyear and I really hit it off.

And of course... the mouse himself. Who doesn't love a visit with Mickey?!

Tee-riffic

Yesterday was my last day at t-ball. Lots of stuff wrapping up before summer I guess. My dad is out of town so my mom took me for the first time all season. This time we "played" an actual game rather then practicing our skills.

Here I am running the bases. See me in the red shirt?

And at the end of the day we each got a medal for our excellent job participating. Now I have this awesome baseball metal to add to the ones I have from soccer and basketball.

I'm really looking forward to being on a real tee-ball team next spring!

Graduation day!

Today was the big day... I graduated from preschool! WAHOO! You know the best thing about graduating?

CAKE before 10am!!

And I might not like my sister all the time, but I do love her and I shared my cake with her.

The Last Day!

Today was my very last day of preschool! This wasn't my very last day at the school because I'll be there for two weeks of camp later this month, but it was my last day of class with my regular classmates and teachers. I had so much fun during my years at Children's House and this year was particularly fun! Think I've changed much since the first of the year? Here's a photo from my first day of school...
