Our Spencer-man turned five years old yesterday. Matt asked him what was the most exciting thing about turning five and he said, "Being able to reach high stuff." On Monday we went bowling and arcade-ing and let him pick dinner (pizza and hot dogs at Sam's Club).
Here are some pictures of him opening his presents Tuesday morning and blowing out his candles that evening.
Disclaimer: As for the flowers on his cake? We let him pick his own cake when we were at Sam's Club and this was the only one with BLUE frosting. He really didn't pick a "girly cake". Not that there's anything wrong with that!
I really can't believe he's 5! Cooper said you should have plopped a Matchbox car in the center of each cupcake. :) Miss you guys (and might I add so impressed that you're keeping up your blog!!)
Here is a link to our Caring Bridge Blog that journals the story of our miracle boy and his new heart.

Out of the Mouths of Babes
Matt to kids: "I'm just being facetious." Corinne: "What's facetious?" Matt: "It means sarcastic." Corinne:"Well then just say 'sarcastic'! Why make it complicated? I mean, that's like, why would you say Czechoslovakia when you could just say Kentucky?!" (7/14/12)
Claire: "Grandpa, I want milk." Grandpa: "How do you spell milk?" Claire: Looks at grandpa for a minute and then says, "You tip it!". I'm sure she was wondering why he wanted to know how you "spill" milk. (7/8/12)
"Mom, when I yawn my eyes get sad." Claire, age 3 (3/14/12)
Paige: "Guess what happened at lunch today?!" Corinne: "Lady Gaga came?" Paige: "No. Better! My chocolate milk tasted like pink milk!!" (3/13/12)
"If we had to leave our house and could only bring 4 things I would bring: food, water, a guy who makes electric things work, and the wii." --Paige, age 8 (3/9/12)
"I really wish I had a different mom. One that's nice." ---Claire, age 3 (9/18/11) OUCH!!
5 y/o friend: "My brother's friend is scared of trees and branches." Spencer: "That's crazy!" Friend: "He thinks there's scary stuff in them." Spencer: "Like what?" Friend: "Porcupines" Spencer: "And mini-dragons?" Friend: "Yeah." (9/13/11)
