Conrad's 5th Birthday.

Conrad's birthday started out great.  We decided to have a couple of boys over to have a Spiderman Themed birthday party.  I had fun getting ready for it.  I made the pinata, (not that it is super awesome, but it was way easy and he LOVED it.)  I forgot to get pictures of them hitting it and of the kids that were there.  Duh!  What was I thinking.

Thanks to the moms that came and brought their boys to the party.  He had so much fun playing with them.  He loves the gifts.  Hopefully your kids didn't get sick. 

By the end of the party though Jackson would not stop coughing.  He couldn't get a word in in between attacks for about an hour and a half so I got him into our Dr.  He had the flu.

Needles to say the family birthday party scheduled for his birthday was canceled.  We still had cake and ice cream and he still had fun, but was a little bummed we couldn't have anyone else over.  Thanks Mom and Dad for risking it and coming by for a few minutes to make him feel special.

 My $.50 pinata.  Much better than spending $17 on one!

April 3, his actual birthday.  Notice the chunks of frosting out of the cake.  You can thank Jackson for that!

Conrad at 5:

•  is so excited for Kindergarten and all the fun parties.

•  is very helpful around the house.
• is the neatest of the kids and is great at cleaning his room and making his bed.
• loves playing games on Bo's phone.
• has asked many timed this winter to go ice fishing.  He can't wait to go. Bo took him for his birthday, but the river was WAY too high so they couldn't fish.  Bummer.

Conrad we love you and hope your birthday was all that you have dreamed (he has been talking about it for the last year).  We love having you in our family and can't imagine life without you!  Thanks for always taking care of us.
