I tried squishin him down...

But, the bugger just kept growning! I can't believe he's 5 already!

Happy Birthday to the Best Big Brother, Oldest Son, Funny Boy, Loyal Friend

and smartest 5 year old!

5 Things about Keedon (that we love!)

1)He organizes his toys and keeps them well hidden (sometimes in his footed

jammies, that he has on!)

2)He's very technical. ("you forgot the outline, mom, but, that's ok")

3) He's a very hands on learner (I explain something a thousand times over, but, as soon as he does it, or sees me do it, he will then explain it to me, as if he just discovered something I didn't know!)

4) He's always been the compassionate one (He is his brother's and sister' keeper... too much so sometimes)

5) His reward and punishment is TIME. (loves having dude time with mom and dad, watching football, is his favorite...and he can't stand being ignored or disappoint us.)

and a bonus:

He still has that amazing laugh!

(Yes, I brokedown on the Spongebob party, he wanted it.. funny thing is he never watches Spongebob, doesn't know anything about the show, which is encouraged... he just wanted to party Spongebob style...maybe it's the silly eyes that spell F-U-N to him!)

Some funny things he's said lately:

~while running down the small incline at the Idaho Falls Temple he said "I'm going down da hell! (hill)"

~Middle of the Night potty run he says nonchalantly, "I'm going potty everyone!"

~Thinking everyone just keeps growing he said "mom, what does Jesus do with u when you grow huge, huge like a huge giant?" (following that with a conversation about why we don't see all these giant people)

~About Santas Elves "what are those green things with Santa, like goblins?"

"mom, check out all my coupons, (they were chuckycheese ones), can we go to Kaceys n I will show her how much coupons I have!" (Kacey is our coupon queen bff)

We love him so so so much, and we are so proud of Keedon! He keeps us laughing and is a big helper, especially when we don't ask him to be, they are his proudest moments, and mine too!

Birthday Fun:

Quint finishing off his birthday donut... (yup, that's my kid, only eats the frosting!)

The Relay race track dad set up to test out Keed's new scooter
and the Spongebob Family Birthday cake and celebration...

Don't you love Cambels look in this pic... it just says "when are we gonna eat it, already!?"

PS: Keed just kept asking "did Berklie get me a present?" and when he opened the one from her, he hugged it, and said "oh, I can't believe it! Berklie!" He is her best buddy.
