Happy 5th Birthday Ace

I am still shocked to say that I have a 5 year old. I can not believe that my little boy is now 5 years old. Time has just flown by. Saturday the boys celebrated with a joint birthday party and then Saturday night Ace decided he wanted to go to Cracker Barrel to eat for his bday dinner. That was the first time in days that he actually ate a good meal....he is still feeling pretty yucky after his surgery :( Then this morning he woke up at 6 in lots of pain and he climbed in bed with me and Phil. It breaks my heart that he is not feeling good on his birthday :( :( A couple hours later...he woke up and felt good enough to open his presents and play a little. Ace got a Toy Story puzzle from Ashlyn, a Captain America mask from Aidan, and a Captain America Shield from Mommy and Daddy!!! He loved his presents. Our little birthday boy got some special presents too....a couple years back Ace asked us if he could have some Gum....well we told him that when he was 5 years old, that he would be old enough to chew gum. WELL....this little boys reminds us all the time that when he is 5 he will get to chew gum....so when he woke up this morning...he got to chew his 1st piece of gum :) :) :) He was very excited about his 1st piece of gum and was very proud after he spit it in the trash! He is such a big boy!!!!
