Our Big 5 Year Old Boy

Despite the celebration starting last week at Cutler’s school, today was Cutler’s actual birthday.  He started the morning off with grandma taking him out for donuts, followed by a shopping spree at toys-r-us courtesy of the spoiling grandparents, then a couple hours of video games with me and Mason, and finally taking in a Stars overtime loss in a suite courtesy of the Dallas Stars.  He’s obviously a bit spoiled, but given all he has been through and considering that 4 1/2 years ago we weren’t even sure if we would see him hit five years old, he is worth every bit of his rottenness followed by his incredible loving heart.

In a bit of office tom foolery this past Friday I spread some cream cheese on a bagel and stuck it under a coworker’s desk.  Today I went to see if it had been discovered and to my surprise cream cheese is competing with super glue.

I am now heading to a construction site for our next test.

Must. Push. On.

As the boys’ sports pick up and the weather warms you would think I would have an abundance of posts waiting in line. Truth be told, it’s turning into more of a problem as I am running out of time and, more importantly, energy to continue this but it would be too easy to quit and so I will push on. Especially with Cutler’s birthday and the upcoming family visits. I should have plenty to share coming soon.

The Birthday Weeks Have Begun

With Cutler’s birthday falling in spring break every year, his birthday celebration tends to take on quite the celebration over multiple weeks.  This past Friday was his celebration at school where he was more than proud to wear the special birthday hat.

Dinner Photo Bombs

While on the Disney cruise my mom thought it was a good idea to take photos of our food.  She said something along the lines of dad would like to see them.  I didn’t really see any value in doing so and so after a few times of going along with it I decided it was necessary to photo bomb a couple when she gave me her camera to photograph my food.  Melanie caught me and surprisingly decided to follow suit rather than scald me for my childish behavior.  Fortunately mom never noticed and I kept waiting and waiting to hear from her after she got home and showed dad the photos.  Sadly that moment never came and so either they didn’t want to indulge my sense of humor or their eye sight is going with their age.  Below are a sample of the photos, I’ll let you figure out which ones are photo bombed.  Sadly I still sit here and chuckle as I look at the photos.
