5 Year WCE

I had my 5 year well check with Dr. Rodemyer this morning.  She wanted to know if I could draw people with lots of detail.  I went all out and drew a picture of Wolverine for her!  I weighed in at 44.8 lbs (75%) and was 43.75 inches tall (64%).  Nearly the exact same percentiles as last year.  I think I've found my spot on the growth curve.

Not to be out done, Parker also wanted to show how he has learned to draw faces at preschool.  It's a picture of Emery.

Yogurt

So, what's funny about this picture?  This is my new favorite way to eat yogurt.

Swinging

It just might be the last nice day of the year, I decided to swing it out!

Story Time

I didn't pay much attention to the story, but I sure found the cushions!

Swinging

 "Hey, Mom.  Come see what I can do!  Oh, and bring the camera.  I want you to take a video of me."

Spirits in the Garden

We went to Spirits in the Garden at Reiman Gardens.  The weather was so great that they ran low on candy and only had a few trick or treat locations.

That sure didn't stop us from having a great time!

We really like Lady Bug Girl!

We did a great job of walking together with our parents either in front or behind us.

There were lots of really neat birdhouses out for display.  We'd love to have this one at our house!

We walked ALL the way to the very end of the gardens.  Normally, we don't make it that far.

The Leiran's 2012

The big boys!

I'm King of the Mountain!

What a great day!  I sure hope we get to come back and do this again next year!

Aiden's Birthday Party

I had LOTS of people around to help me open presents.

Great photo of Papa and GG and all of us grandkids.  (Lowel 6, Lawerence 5, Emery 1, Aiden 5, Parker 3)

I really liked my super hero cake!

Holden and Parker took turns trying to walk in Uncle Mike's shoes.

After Lowell and Lawrence left, we had a little dance party to show off our moves.  What a great day!  Thank you to everyone who was able to make my party a lot of fun and very special!

Train

Papa and GG came down today and brought Lowell and Lawrence with them to play with us!  Here we are waiting to go on the train.

Emery missed nap time and really liked Mommy caring him and keeping him close.

Daddy had his hands full watching the 3 of us!

It was fun to sit with Papa as well!

GG brought cookies for us to share!

Emery finally woke up ad wanted to look out the windows with the rest of us boys.

I really liked the carvings in the trees.  I was the first to spot them!

We might have gotten a little carried away by the end of the trip.

 
We sure had a great time!

Look at how big we all are.  Can you imagine how much fun we will all have together at Christmas?!?!?!

Dinner afterwards was my choice, Hickory Park, of course!

It was quite quiet before our food showed up.  It's a good thing that Mommy and Daddy have 2 phones, and GG was smart enough to bring to Kindles with her.

Papa and I got to celebrate our birthdays together, Hickory Park style.  What a great afternoon!

Preschool Carrier

I might be 5, but I still want to be carried like Emery up to bed.

Of course, Parker gets a little jealous and wants to be carried for awhile as well.

Movie Time

We have the best seat in the house watching the Lorax with Mom.

Happy birthday, Aiden

 
Opening presents is serious business.  Sometimes, it takes 2!

Happy 5th birthday, Aiden!

Birthday Balloons

I was SO excited this morning when I woke up and saw all of the balloons that Mom and Dad put in my room for my birthday.  I brought most of the upstairs balloons into Mom and Dad's room and had a great time playing this game while they got ready for the day!

Bike

Grandma Jo and Mom and Dad decided that it was about time for me to get a bike.  Thanks for the early birthday present!

Hands Free

This applesauce stuff is great because I can eat it without needing my hands.

Chili

That was some tiring chili, Mom.

Drink

Can I have a drink, please?

Color Run

Well, this was suppose to be a family day, but it was much to cold for Emery, and since Grandma Jo was going to watch him, Aiden and Parker decided that they would rather play with her as well.  Sorry Brandon, you still have to do this with me! 

A good portion of our team.  I think we ended up with 28 people on our team.  It was a lot of fun to friends from all aspects of my life come together and do something fun!

 

During the race.  For some reason, they really like to throw color at the face of tall people.  Sorry, Brandon!

Post race.

Thanks for going with me Brandon.  (Note, he said he had fun and would actual go back and do this with me again next year!!!  Hopefully, it will be a bit warmer so the entire family can participate!)

Milk

That was some good milk......
