Hendrix turns FIVE!!!

We had our family over on Sunday, the 15th to celebrate Hendrix's birthday! I can't believe I became a mama FIVE years ago. All day long I was thinking about what I was doing, at that same time, 5 years ago. I remember what time I felt my first contraction, what time I got in the shower, what time I woke Jordan up, what time we decided to go to the hospital, what time I finally got an epidural and what time he was born. It's amazing how you NEVER forget those details because they are so special. My life changed forever that day and I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING in the whole world.

Hendrix woke up to a plethora of balloons that the balloon fairy left in his room while he was sleeping. Remmi might have been a little bit more excited about it than Hendrix was. We had lot's of fun playing in Hendrix's room all morning. He got 2 Iron Man toys from us and tickets to ride on the Polar Express.

 I LOVE this picture! They love each other so much and Hendrix is soooo sweet to Remmi. He is never mean to her.

 

 Remmi looks a bit homeless in these pictures. The mullet and hillbilly teeth don't help much.  =)

 

PARTY TIME!!!!!

 

 

 Hendrix was so excited to blow out his candle and make a wish for his birthday. He told Jordan earlier that day, "When I blow out my candle and make a wish I'm going to wish that we are all together as a family because that is the best wish ever." SERIOUSLY??? Jordan had said nothing to him about making a wish for his birthday. He is THE SWEETEST!

 SOOOOOO excited to blow out his candle.....

 Then this happened.....  (I had to re-light his candle and I guess the flame got kind of close to his face and scared him.)

 No one knows why child #2 is also crying....

 So we calmed down, moved locations and sang Happy Birthday again. A little more hesitant this time though.

 Phew! We survived! (P.S- Remmis is STILL crying at this point.)

Bentley wanted to take a picture with Grandma and Grandpa too. I'm sad I didn't get a picture of Hendrix with Meghan and Jordan but they left a little bit early.
