Happy BirthDAY Reese!

Daddy and I decided to let Reese open his birthday gift from us a day early so he had time to play with it---he was very happy to say the least:)

Couldn't rip into it fast enough!

Now that's my kind of gift:) Batman car track--it does a loop-da-loop:)

Setting it up with Daddy....Mommy is not much help in this department!

Mommy and Reese--I love this boy!!


Yesterday Reese turned 5 years old! We had a full day of adventure:) First we woke him up with a cupcake and he finally got to blow out a candle (his birthday party at the park was too windy:)
Then Greg and I took him to preschool --I offered to let him skip school and hang out with me the whole day but he was VERY excited to get to go to school and bring cupcakes to all his friends! When we got to school we went to chapel with him. On the kids birthdays they have a birthday blessing and give the kids birthday ribbons to wear all day--Reese was very excited to get to wear his ribbon:)
It wasn't long after we left Reese at school that we got a call that Reese's eyes were itchy and red. We decided it would be best to go get him and see what was going on and can you believe it? Reese got pink eye in both eyes on his birthday!!! No way! So sad right? Honestly it didn't seem to stop him much! He actually was pretty excited he had to stay home and could play with his new toys all he wanted:) Not a bad deal huh?:)
Anyways we had planned to take Reese and Abby to see Toy Story 1 and 2 in 3D last night and decided to still give it a try and see how Reese did...no worries we made sure he didn't touch anyone or anything:) Luckily we pretty much had the theater to ourselves and we all had a great time! Such cute movies and we can't wait for Toy Story 3 to come out! We didn't exactly make it through both movies but we gave it the old college try:)
After we got home we got on skype (webcam) with my parents and Reese showed them ALL his new toys and him and Abby had a blast being silly for them!
All in all it ended up being a great day--except the pink eye:) Today he is already so much better and we went to the doctor today and he is already not contagious! Who knew the drops would work so fast! Thank goodness because they green gooey stuff was so gross!!!:)
Well Happy Birthday Reese! We love you more each day and can't wait for the adventure that lies ahead! We love you!
