I still can't believe it, but my little boy has turned 5! He is now officially old enough to attend school. I can't believe just how fast these last few years have gone.
We started off the morning with a bug surprise from Candy Grandma. She has these really fun yard signs that people pay her to put up on their yards. As a gift to Rhev she put one up for him. He was so proud of it. As soon he woke up he came in a found me and said "Mom look, my name is in the grass and it says Happy Birthday Rhev". It was fun to see him so excited!
We let him open one present before Dad had to go to work.
He got 2 skate boards. What's funny about the skate boards is that he didn't want them to actually skateboard with. He wanted them to be used as wheels for when he builds his box trains. I'm not going to lie, I thought it was a great idea!
After box train building I had both boys take a bath. Rhev got to open another present which had a new shirt and a new pair of play shoes. He was looking so handsome with them on.
Luke Grandma then came and picked up both boys to take them out to lunch and to the park with Tucker. I was so grateful to have the break, because I was seriously struggling making Rhev's cake and our house was a disaster and needed cleaned for Rhev's birthday party.
I think they had a GREAT time.
As soon as the boys got home it was time for his party. Luke Grandma, Grandpa, Kimmy, boys, Candy Grandma, Grandpa, Great Grandma Christensen and Kayl all came to the party. He was feeling really special.
His first present was from Mom and Dad and was some new "cool blue" basketball shoes.
He then opened a gift from Great Grandma Christensen (aka the other grandma). She got him a ton of fruit snacks, a box of animal crackers and a fun mini horse figurine set. It was a Mommy, Daddy and baby horse set. Rhev had the best expressions while opening her gift.
Next he opened the tractor Lego set from Mom and Dad.
Then he got a new swimming suit from Mom and Dad to wear at swim camp.
Last he got to open the HUGE bag from Candy Grandma and Grandpa. It was a new T-ball set, some writing practice cards, and a preschool learning book.
The boy sure was spoiled and happy.
We finished off the party with cake and ice cream and Kayl and Candy Grandpa helped Rhev build his Lego tractor. Rhev went to be so happy and loved!
About Rhev
Rhev is such a a wonderful young man. He is so smart and catches onto things quick. He has the most amazing sense of direction. He absolutely adores his little sister. She can do no wrong in his eyes. He is a really good helper just like his Dad. He loves to work. He has the most creative imagination. I've never known a kid who could imagine things like he does. Everyday he surprises us with something new. He likes to play the piano and has been taking piano lessons for about a month now. He is very skilled at drawing. He doesn't like to color much, but he loves to draw things out. Rhev is also the most independent kid I've ever known. If he wants something he will figure out a way to get it. He is always making his own food and snacks before I even know what is going on. He is very observant and can usually figure something out by just seeing it once. There will never be another Rhev in this world. He is one of a kind. He is bold, tough, strong headed, independent, creative, sweet, smart, kind, aggressive and 100% boy. I am grateful everyday that I have my Rhevy. I couldn't imagine a world without him. I am so lucky to be him Mom.
