5 Years Ago today....

my life changed forever. I was blessed with the birth of my son, Austin Donald. He is truly a little gift, and we are so thankful for him everyday (well maybe not EVERY day, but mostly).

Today is his 5th birthday and what a birthday it was.



He is ALL about Star Wars, and so he received all Star Wars gifts except some great nature books from my mom! He even got a new Star Wars bike! He was in heaven.





His day started out with presents and anything he wanted for breakfast. Then he went for a ride on his new bike, then he watched Star Wars. He went to School where they had a party for him and I brought cupcakes and other "party fixins". After school, Mark and I took him to see Over the Hedge (very cute), then home for BBQ. Then we had cake with our friends Melanie and Madelyn. the cake was special because it was adorned with 6 new Star Wars Lego Mini figures which Austin LOVES!!!



On Friday we will take his friend Chase to Chuck-e-Cheese instead of having a big birthday party this year.....

All in all, a wonderful day!!

Oh, and for the Ryleigh fans out there, here's Ryleigh eating one of Austin's cupcakes.
