My 5 yr old.

well Last minute and after two or three different times and dates.... we had a family bday party for Brody. we literally drove up to logan and an hour later had the party. Things didn't work out quite like planned... the pizza got cold, about an hour after the party had started I lost my diaper bag that had riley's food in it. So he was freaking out and so was i!!! But the breadsticks, salad, decorations, drinks, were perfect. Thanks for all of our family's help. Here is a few pics, wish i had more.

Gpa brower mase, Bently & Addy!!!

Brody ripping into his presents. Seriously i didn't even know who gave him what!

 Blake & Bella

 5 yr old cake. thanks to lin that made them so i didn't have to buy them or make and bring them up!

 Justin and Cade.

And i had to post this pic of Lindee & Caprice. Pretty serious conversation if you ask me!!! lol

He got lots of presents and i think had a blast.

After we got home he went and had his 5 yr shots!! He got 4 and didn't even cry AT ALL. Just did this nervous laugh!! So brave. The next day he complained that he couldn't walk but was fine after i gave him some tylenol! He is such a good boy.

Here is what the dr had to say:

Weight: 36.1lb 16%

Height:40.9 inches  15%

this is up from 6% last year!! So at least we know he grew taller.

All though quite petite, Brody is very smart, and super sensitive. He loves to go with his dad and I know he will be into hunting just like his dad. He is such a great helper. Loves to make friends and play with them. Very independant!

I am very proud of him! I can't believe i have a 5 yr old!!! We love him. Oh my goodness.

Halloween

 We had a Motocross Racer, a Ninja, And Horton! (From Horton Hears a Whoo)

 So cute! I love their first year!

Trick or treating was cold and windy. The boys lasted about an hour, and then we were done! It's getting funner every year. So fun! 

Pumpkins!!!

 Here are the two beauties that they picked out!

 Blake literally had to make both of them put their hands in the pumpkins. My boys have always had issues with getting their hands dirty. so funny.

 Bently had the hardest time.

 Riley was a completely different story. Loved it. I can see him as being the kid that dives into his one year cake!

 ooooh!

 seriously loved playing in it! love this pic.

 Brody got into it! And he had a blast.

 Just had to post this pic because as usual i am the only one with my eyes open!

Bently got a bat (for batman) and brody got a spider (for... you guessed it spiderman)

We started a new tradition and after halloween we went to the shooting range and the boys shot their pumpkins with dads help. And drum roll please..... I shot a gun for the first time EVER. Thank you blake. Ok so it was a little 22. But still blake has been tryin to get me to shoot one for a 7+ years. So that is a big accomplish.  Super fun time.  

Dino Museum

 Notice how bently isn't up there with them. Yeah he was terrified of the huge Dinosaur on the building.

This reminded me of Night at the Museum. So cool!!!

Bently was scared to death of everything. They were so much bigger than him.

Adorable ry & Blake.

SHARK!!!!! Almost had bent in tears.

Pretty fun! BRody was in heaven. He knew alot of the names of dinosaurs. And at one time he was talking to another boy that was there and was telling him facts about the dinosaurs. So funny. 

Tubes and such...

 Man this poor little guy.... He has been blessed with not so awesome genetics. Blake and I both had problems with our ears, resulting in tubes for me... so naturally all of our children have struggled when it comes to ears. We went in on a monday to have his ears check since i found blood on his blanket which came from his ear. A ruptured ear drum.The doc said he needed tubes and we could wait or just get it done. Well we waited with bently and it really affected his speech so i wasn't about to do this to ry. So we got it done that thursday.

 Wow was he pissed. He was starving and i woke him from his peaceful slumber. Not happy. This is us at the hospital. Check out that gown. so cute.

 Here he is trying to eat the camera. The surgery went well and super fast. He has been doing great. Thank goodness he is such a happy camper. Thank goodness for me really. :)

And then this picture i just had to share mainly for my blog journal. When ry was 6 weeks old he was laying on my bed while i brushed my teeth. i looked over to him after hearing a wierd noise. Riley was blue. I ran to him and did pediatric hymlic thrusts on his back and he took a breath. ( i never dreamed i would ever have to do that. Thank goodness for CPR) Then about 10 minutes later He was blue again. I called a neighbor (it was 11:30pm) and asked her if she would come lay on the couch at my house. And we headed to the ER. They were very concerned and took xrays and such. Then they told me he needed to be admitted. Blake was in Oregon, and i was all alone with my neighbors juggling my kids. We were there for two nights and three days. Multiple tests were preformed and the conclusion that Riley had severe reflux and had a whey protein allergy. So basically he was allergic to me too. His esophogus was so swollen due to the reflux and my milk that it blocked his airway and caused him to stop breathing. He had to wear a oximetry jacket that measured his o2 and did an alarm if he stopped breathing. NOT FUN. He is now on medication, soy formula and doing fine. I just found these pics on my phone and thought i would write this event down.

Our little Riley has been through so much. But is such a blessing. He is so content and makes me laugh. He has the best little attitude and is so happy. And unlike any of my children sleeps through the night at 3 months old!!! we love him.

As of now he weighs

18.5 lbs

is 15% in height

and has an enormous shaped head that has decided to grow outwards.

He is so stinking cute and we love him so much.
