Tim turned 5!

Before any springy/Easter posts, here's a quick late Happy Birthday to my five-year old Timothy! This kid is seriously his own person. I'm hoping public school in September doesn't take that from him. A couple examples of his "uniqueness:" He made up a word -- "machala" and he uses it every day. The catch is, it means something different every time he uses it. Hmmm.... He also has some different sort of favorite foods. Here's his list: pickles, tomatoes, green beans, and V-8. Not too much complaining from me.

We had a little party for him a week before his birthday, inviting his 3 best buds and their families. The kids just ran around and played in the backyard (glad for nice weather!). Not so organized, but they had fun. Tim helped make the invitations (Ben wanted me to be sure to tell people that so no one questions my crafting skills!)






I'm really terrible at icing cakes. I definitely need a lesson or two. This is the cake after my mother-in-law fixed my disaster. If you aren't sure, it's supposed to be a lego.




On the actual big day (a week later), we took Tim over to Lowe's for the first time and he and dad built a kaleidoscope at their Build and Grow clinic. Highly recommend it!
