We had a fun week as Brooks turned 5. I think he still wishes it was his birthday. Here’s our week . . .

This is a “shooter-ba-dooter.” That is exactly how he pronounces it. The funny thing is he is very serious about this toy and its name. I asked him to repeat it a couple times to make sure I heard him right.

Superhero juice.

This was the best salmon we’ve made so far – dill, brown sugar, lemon, and olive oil.

The birthday boy with a new present.

More presents – he got lots of books this year.

A new favorite – pumpkin pancakes.

He wanted pancakes.

Silas asked for fire on his pancakes but he settles for a nice Curious George in a firetruck.

Party time.

We launched rockets. It was a hit.

I think its safe to say everyone had a great time.

Such a happy baby.

I love the color of his hair. Everyone needs a haircut.

My boys.

Some days I have to eat in the car at stop lights.

We put up some fall decorations.

We are now ready for space exploration.

For Brooks’ birthday we went to Stone Mountain.We were pleasantly surprised.

This picture basically explains everything you need to know about this kid – smiles constantly and always has his mouth wide open.

Brooks celebrates at school.

At the top. Brooks thought he was on the moon.

See you next week!
