Hoyt Turns 5!!

To say that Hoyt was excited to turn five is an understatement.  I think he started asking me about his birthday the first of June, and didn't stop until it was finally here!  He decided that he wanted to have a few friends go with him to the bounce house, then come back home for pizza, cake and ice cream and presents.....so that's what we did!

He started off his day with his favorite breakfast of waffles with cream.  Then he went outside to play with Jett and ride his new bike, before getting ready to go and pick up his friends for the bounce house.  Grandma and grandpa Murray brought Markus and Landon, and then we went to pick up the rest of his buddies.  The boys loved the bounce house (as usual) but after 2 1/2 hours they were ready to head home for pizza and cake.  Hoyt had asked for a Spiderman cake, so I did my best to try and give him one - even though it didn't turn out all that great, Hoyt thought it was pretty cool!  Overall, I think he had the perfect day!  Happy 5th Birthday Buddy!! 

At five Hoyt loves:
Doing anything with dad - hunting coyotes, shooting birds, working...you name it
Riding his bike
Working outside in the yard with mom.  He can hardly wait until he is old enough to mow....and neither can I!!
Going to school.  He was a little bummed to not start kindergarten this year, but he is really looking forward to his new preschool teacher and class
To help me bake anything; cookies, cakes, etc.
Being a big brother
Star Wars (to Ryon's dismay), playing PBS kids and Disney Jr. games on the computer, playing football, baseball and basketball (he can't wait to play on the 5-year-old team this winter), and doing anything outside! 
Being in his CTR 4 class at church

Hoyt also continues to be our tender hearted child.  He has to have a hug and kiss from anyone leaving the house, or he will completely melt down.  He cries when sad things happen on movies or when he sees someone who is sad or needs help.  He also can't go to sleep until I read him a book and "sing him a lullaby"!  Hopefully this won't end soon!!
