Baby giggles

This one is for grandma and grandpa who are missing out on all these giggles...

Micah's 5th birthday cake

Here are the pics of Micah's "Candyland" cake. AJ and my mom usually do the cake decorating, but since mom and dad weren't able to make it (and were greatly missed!) I helped out AJ. He's still the main man and did a great job. We tried not to overwhelm the cake with candy, but there was plenty of it and it was awfully sweet. Micah loved it!

Ring bearer

Micah was the ring bearer for AJ's cousin's wedding. He did so great and we were so proud of him!
He and Olivia, the flower girl, enjoyed some time on the dance floor:


This was their first dance...


Dance lessons from Olivia's dad...



How sweet is that? Then they went back to swinging around in circles!

Micah is 5!

Our firstborn is officially 5 years old! How did that happen so fast? He had a great birthday last week filled with many of his favorite things: preschool in the morning with donuts for snacktime, Caribou smoothie and a game of Go Fish with dad in the afternoon, and supper at Chuck-e-Cheese with Amara in the evening. It was a 5-year-old's dream day! He enjoyed every minute of it. We will be celebrating with extended family this weekend.
He had his 5-year doctor check-up this morning and was declared healthy and quite normal. He is 44 in tall and weighs in at 42lbs.
Here are a few pics of his day.
