Branson Turns 5

April 5th, 2011

Yep. Branson's five. I can't believe how quickly it happened! This is the year he'll start kindergarten and losing teeth.  He's riding 2-wheelers, reading books and playing video games!  Branson loves Hot Wheels, LEGOS and superheros.  He plays outside everyday - riding bikes, launching Nerf rockets, and playing hide-and-go-seek with the neighborhood kids.  Branson loves to play with his sisters and is excellent with Annika.  He looks forward to Daddy coming home everyday so they can play basketball, dodgeball or catch.  Besides being super active, he's also very bright.  He has all 13 Articles of Faith memorized and enjoys reading independently.  We're so proud of him!  Branson is a joy to have in our family.  Happy Birthday, bud. 
  

Monday morning, April 4th.


Branson's new big kid bike. Daddy stayed up late assembling it.


He doesn't look excited at all.


We got him a remote control race track like Brian had when he was a boy.


Cupcakes with his preschool.


Most requested birthday dinner: Hawaiian haystacks.


Birthday cupcakes. (I'll make his real birthday cake on Saturday for his party.)




Once Daddy got home, he wanted to show him how he can ride his new bike. What a fun day!
