beckam boo turns the big 5!

this little (or not so little sadly) man turned 5!!! he was so excited to wake up to staircase all streamered up by our silly little libby elf :)

he was equally excited for his new lunch box, watch, and "skater" shoes that his brothers gave him :)

you're only in a small preschool class once, so beckam took advantage and invited all 8 classmates along with his church and neighborhood friends too! a grand totally of 15 or so showed up to his sports themed park party :)

we did a few minute to win it style games, and it took all we had to keep all of the kids together much less playing the games together! haha they had fun though!

so many awesome friends and presents and so much fun for our 5 year old beckam boo!

and he's still not a cake/cupcake guy, so sugar cookies it was yet again! the giant one for the birthday boy of course :) he was in heaven!

he had such a great birthday and birthday party, and he deserves it! i can't say enough about how thankful i am for my #1 boy. he is my everything! he is my sanity. he makes me laugh. he is my right-hand man. he teaches me about patience and about honesty and about having fun and about choosing the right and doing your best. he is seriously the best big brother - always looking out for his younger siblings and helping them with whatever they need. whether it be keeping jeter out of the road or holding quincey while i make lunch or teaching maddox how to fold his clothes and clean up properly, he is always on top of things!

he loves sports - all of them! he has so many best friends, we can't keep track of who's at the top of the list, but maddox is up there for sure :) he is so good at telling the truth even when he knows he did something wrong, and he is so quick to help me when things are a little crazy at home. he's so proud that he can pump his own legs on the swings, and he is dying to be a little monkey and skip on the monkey bars. he LOVES his new skateboard and is already cruising down the driveway :) he loves superheros and ninja turtles and sleeps on the top bunk and knows not to leave his room til the time starts with a 6! (we wish it was 7 but 6 is better than 5!) he is so dedicated and never gives up. he sets his mind to conquering something, and he won't give up til he gets it! he loves reading and writing and is getting pretty good at figuring out our crazy language. he is so conscious of choosing the right and making good choices, and he just remembers the lessons we try to teach him and tries to do his best. him and his little maddox buddy are pretty inseparable whether it's cleaning their room, brushing their teeth, wrestling on the tramp, practicing their karate moves, or doing tricks on their scooter, and i LOVE it! brothers are the best, and it doesn't get much better than this kid when it comes to the kind of big brother any kid would be lucky to have. i'm soooo blessed to be his mama, and i don't know what we would do without our beckam boo! happy 5th mister moo - love you more and more every single day!!!!
