5

Thomas turned 5 yesterday!!  I can't believe that my little, scrawny, early baby is so old already!!  It seems like just yesterday my doctor was telling me to go to the hospital & he was going to take Tommy emergency c-section.  That should've been my first clue that life with Thomas would never be dull!!  

We have been through so much with this silly little boy, some good & some scary.  He is such a good brother & loves to play with them and his friends. Tommy's favorite color is blue, he loves tow trucks and digging in the dirt. Depending on the day he is looking forward to going to kindergarten. He is very opinionated and knows exactly what he wants! 

 I LOVE these two pictures of him!  He looks so full of trouble in this one! So typical of him!

 But he can be a real sweet, kind & loving little boy, when he wants to be.  He loves to go to the neighbor's house and pick flowers for me!

 For his birthday this year he decided that he wanted to go to Cars Land at California Adventures. So, we went!  We spent his entire birthday in Cars Land, with the exception of a quick trip to the ferris wheel, toy story mania & buzz lightyear rides!  He went on his new favorite ride, Radiator Springs Racers 6 times!! 

He didn't want me to take his picture with his birthday pin on!

 He was thrilled to be able to go on a few rides by himself & spend lots of time with Lightning & Mater 

 Before we left for California, he got to open presents from his grandmas which he LOVES!  When we got home he got to open his presents from us & have his cupcakes and ice cream of choice (funfetti cupcakes with blue frosting & green sprinkles with green ice cream that has black in it)  He only wanted two blue candles on his cupcake and did not want anyone to sing to him!  He just wanted me to count to 3 then he'd blow the candles out, Thomas said he was "to shy" to have us sing to him!!

 This is Nathan singing Happy Birthday to Thomas (and trying to blow out his candles)
