The Boys 5th Birthday!

Yep, my babies are now 5. Hard to believe it has been 5 years since our 3 little miracles came into this world. I was so scared and excited all at the same time. They were 9 weeks early and all I wanted to hear was that they were healthy. They came out screaming and at that moment, I knew we would be ok.

Today was filled with fun and family and friends. Grandma and Papa came over this morning with a 12 foot trampoline as a gift. The boys were so excited but to them, it took way too long to be put together. They helped Papa and Curtis put it together. Once it was all done, they jumped until they couldn't jump anymore. They got to take a rest and have some lunch and Papa and Grandma went home. I needed to lay down and rest because I have been having some back problems this last week. I guess I crashed pretty hard and missed our friends, the Kohl family, coming over. I was sad to have missed them. Curtis woke me up for some cake and presents that Uncle Paul and Uncle Drew sent from Chicago. The day got by us so fast and then it was time for bed. You can say that it didn't take too long for the boys to fall asleep tonight!

I have such mixed feelings about this birthday for some reason. At 4, the boys still seemed like my "little boys". Now at 5, it's just different. They are growing up so fast and have so much to say. I am inspired by them each and everyday. I don't know why God chose me to be their mom, but I am sure thankful everyday that He did. I am thankful to have such a great husband who is such a wonderful father and a great role model for them. I know why God chose Curtis to be their dad.

Enjoy some of the pictures from the day. Thanks to all of you for being a part of the boys life. You all mean so much to us.
