Mark's 6th birthday party

We celebrated Mark's 6th birthday on the 1st with a Superman/Batman party at a local park.  I think the kids had a blast and it was perfect weather :)

Alyssah and I dressed like batman and did our nails black too :)

My sweet fam!  Love them :)

Mark with his buddy, Cameron and cousin, Aiden

After his party, he had his 1st baseball tryouts!

I brought some of the decorations home and put them up for his actual birthday.

all of his awesome gifts!  Thanks to everyone who came!

birthday morning :)

I took treats to school to celebrate with his classmates during lunch!

I was so happy I got to spend a little time with him at school on his birthday.  It was special!  I love being a Mommy :)

Here's to another year of watching you grow, my love!

I just love this age.  He's independent and a huge help to me with A (sometimes too much ;) ).  He's loving school and amazes me everyday with his kind heart.  I'm so thankful this boy was my first born.  He's easy-going and gives me so much grace.  He has my heart.  I fear when he starts dating....I'm probably not going to approve of any of the girls!  ha!

I love you my handsome, sweet, thoughtful, curious, caring, independent little (almost) 6 yr old fella.  You made me a Mother, and I will forever cherish you.  Thank you for being who you are and for being the best big brother.  Mommy, Daddy, and Alyssah love you the most!
