Five years old

It's Lagoon time!

"Hey, why didn't I get to go on the ride?"

Carter doesn't look happy about being soaked.

These two are ready for their first roller coaster of the day.
Jayden looks a bit nervous.

Let's go dad!

It was a little too loud for Jayden.

This is much more relaxing.

Train ride with Grammy for Jayden.

Colossus with the crazies for Carter.

Carter earned $5 for being so brave on Colossus.
He then became very excited to ride it again.

Caleb just watching all the fun again.

Skyride!

More skyride!

Wearing Grumpy's glasses is kind of like a ride.

The kids found their favorite ride at the end of the day.  They rode "Bombora" over and over and over again until it was time to go.  (Really, probably around 15 times or more).

Time for a birthday photo shoot.
(We forgot to take the time to edit these before we posted them, so they are all just the raw shots.  Oh well.)

Look who's five!

"Are we done yet?"

Birthday presents

Birthday hat

Birthday pretzels

Birthday confetti
(Not a great idea with a one year old crawling around)

Birthday cake

Birthday pie

Birthday treats!

Birthday magic candles!

Caleb loves birthdays! (especially birthday cake)

Unicorn lucky charms and happy birthday hot chocolate.
The breakfast of champions.

Time for more presents!

Thanks Carter!

What could it be?

Make up!!!

Round one.
We need to practice with blush.

Uh oh daddy.  How'd that get on your shirt?
Someone has been getting hugs from a pretty girl.

She loves her makeup.

Caleb still loves cake.

Must run in the family.

Mastering the two wheeler

Sorry, we couldn't decide which of these car pictures was cutest.
So you get all four of them.
(This boy LOVES his car)

"Yeah I'll try this broccoli."

"Psych!  Tricked you!  Ha ha ha ha!"

A great evening for a picnic.

A great morning for just hanging out.

Working on their crafting skills.

I got a stick.

This boy's shocked face after he yanked his own tooth out.

He's so proud.

This little boy's new favorite game....

is pushing this chair....

all over....

the kitchen.

He also loves looking out the window....

Getting into trouble.....

And being reckless.

Oh no, Carter broke his arm.
Jayden made him a nice cast and even decorated it and signed her name.

We found a new park.  "Remember the Maine" park.
Zoom in on that cliff face and you'll see a flag and some words.  We still haven't taken the time to look up the significance.

Oh no! The Americans are coming!!!
Lock up the fort!

Wait a minute!  WE are the Americans.  That's our flag!
Oh no! The Mexicans are coming!!!
(This was really what they were saying/playing)

Found a little river to relax by.

And some little flowers to pick.

On our Sunday walk we found snow!  Oh no!

It's so fluffy.

And light.

Oh wait, it's "cotton" from the cottonwood trees.

Carter got hit in the face with a baseball.

Mommy may or may not have been the one who threw it.
(Although it was a pop fly, so the blame should go to the bad catching)

After also jamming a finger with the baseball, Carter decided to play soccer instead.

Maybe we better go read a book.
