I think I say this every year but, I really do mean it, especially this year, Connor your birthday came just as fast as I'm sure you wanted it to! With school starting, cross country, your cousin's birthday's and the pig roast, your birthday sure snuck up on us! It may have fast & furious but, don't you doubt for one second we didn't make it as special as ever! You had a very busy day but, managed to squeeze everything in.
You started school that morning at 7:45 with snacks in hand to share with your classmates. Per your request - we picked up "TimBites" a mini assortment of donuts.
I heard you had a great day at school - you even got some special time to play, while all your friends made you birthday cards!
After school, we had a little bit of homework to do then it was off to Chuck E Cheese again as your wished! We played for a few hours and enjoyed a pizza & wings dinner before heading home for some presents and cake!
I tell you boy, you must be loved a whole lot because you had a lot to open! And that is not even counting the gifts you received at the pig roast.

Letter to my amazing, fun loving, 5 year old boy, Connor,
You are growing up so fast!! I mean it, SLOW down, please SLOW down, you are so incredibly smart you surprise me everyday with more fun facts you are able to just "spit" out! I can hardly believe it is your 5th birthday already - I still remember daddy & I's first days with you - besides you growing like a weed you are still just as perfect as you were then. A very chill baby you are still are on the quite side (especially compared to Zennon). You do really open when your in your own environment and you love to have a good time! I am impressed with your patience when it comes to Zennon - I know sometimes you would just love to "kick his tiny butt" but usually you step back and let him play - realizing he will be bored with whatever it is he wanted in a matter of minutes.
You are so smart, your learning Spanish, sign language, how to read, working on our writing (were working on what needs to be Capital and/or LowerCase and just correcting a few letters) you have learned all about the Statue of Liberty, Bald Eagles, counting higher and higher everyday. We are learning how to locate the title, author and illustrator and what they mean/do.
You are still totally into Superhero's! I know when you turned 4 is was all about Spiderman, well it is still a lot about Spiderman but, you have also started to enjoy just about every superhero (Batman, Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine) and even love the ninja turtles. You have not been watching much television these days with school, cross country, homework - that pretty much sums up your days but, when you get a moment you absolutely love Wild Kratts unless were watching something to do with Super Hero's. I think it's safe you say you are currently in a growth spurt - your appetite lately has defiantly picked up (although, it could be all the running as well) you have been eating more now then I think you ever have - your favorites have got to be FRUIT all kinds of fruit (Strawberries, Grapes, WATERMELON, bananas) and Broccoli and the one that shocks us the most is Chinese Food (Almond Boneless Chicken) to be exact!
You still more than ever love to be outdoors, you love riding bikes, scooters, sand, swing set, your Escalade, helping Papa or daddy with anything they need help with, swimming and sports!
I'm looking forward to watching you grow more and more this year! Watching you mature and become a wonderful student, an even better big brother and most of all just a very happy, loving and friendly little boy! We love you tons and tons Connor!!
Love, Mommy & Daddy :)
