Already FIVE and enjoying being alive

We're excited to announce that our Brigham is now 5 years old!

We almost can't believe he's 5 already. Where does the time go?Here he is opening presents on his big day.



This is the cake I made for him. He requested orange and chocolate cupcakes, so I decided to take a little liberty with that request and I made a lion with cupcakes for the mane. He seemed to like it and I hear the orange and brown cake tasted good!


A little about our sweet five year old:
He loves learning (at least on his own terms)
He has an amazing imagination
He is very good at cleaning his room
He has a great sense of humor and in his own five years I think he's told more jokes than I have in my whole life.
He just missed the cut-off for going to Kindergarten this year. So, next year he and Rebekah will be in Kindergarten together.
He is becoming a great reader. (Lately he's been reading the old classic "Dick and Jane" books, and has gotten through half of the collection.)
☺ He recently was introduced to playing a computer game at starfall.com and he really enjoys doing that.
☺His spelling is getting good too.
He spelled this word almost by himself (I gave him one clue) Can you tell what it says? (it's actually two words)It says "FUniEOtOPus" Which really means "funny octopus" I think he did a great job spelling it!
☺Brigham is a joy to have around and we LOVE having him in our family.

Happy fifth Birthday, Brigham!

  2. His spelling is pretty amazing!! Six more months as we'll have a five year old. A little hard to believe!
