Brooks' Fifth Birthday!

Start of Brooks' celebration we took him to Texas Roadhouse the weekend before. 

Happy 5th Birthday to Brooks!!

We love our crazy so much. He is the most loving and affectionate kid. Hugs and kisses are his favorite and we get them all day. He also has quite the stubborn personality too. He NEVER runs out of energy and literally bounces when he walks cause he just has to much. He decided he loves breakdancing and it has become a daily activity. He will turn on youtube and watch for hours and try to do the moves. He is a great big brother! Always helping Liam to stop crying, talking to him, bouncing his chair for me, getting me diapers and anything else to do with the baby. Brooks has zero knowledge or care about personal space and is always right in your face ha ha. His new love is helping cook. We love him!

On his birthday he got a big surprise, Grandma and Grandpa Campbell showed up! The boys reaction was so fun and they just kept asking if they really were going to stay. 

Grandpa being brave holding the dart ball thing and getting the balls thrown at his face. 

Brooks was VERY specific on what he wanted for his cake this year. Which made it easy for me I guess. He wanted 2 stacked cakes (I did have to talk him out of 4 stacked cakes), chocolate inside, white frosting, orange and green sprinkles, orange letter B's and Aliens on top. (From a Netflix show he loves called Alien TV). We went out for tacos then had just a few friends over for cake and a glow in the dark dance party. 

Grandma was so nice to let him use his new cooking kit to make Roman noodles. 

It was so much fun having a surprise visit! The boys just love their grandparents so much. They played catch in the basement pretty much all day everyday and the game Sorry. 

Liam growing up!! 4 months old stats

Liam was a little late for his 4 month exam. So now he's almost 5 months ha ha oh well...

Height:26.2in (75th%)

Weight: 14lbs 13oz (25th%)

Head: 42cm (46th%)

He is rolling over all the time! Only from his back to his tummy. He is always wanting to play with toys now and be entertained. Good thing he has Brooks to do that job. He is not sleeping through the night unfortunately yet but hopefully soon. He just started eating some foods now and is LOVING it! It's hilarious. He will stick his tongue out as soon as he needs another bite. He also yells at us when we eat a bowl of something and he thinks it's his but he's not getting any. He is a very happy little guy!

I was watching the Pratts one morning and Raegan was making pop bead jewelry for Liam. He also got a new jumper activity thing and he is so happy in it! He will play in it for an hour straight.

Marshalls birthday and Brooks cutting an orange

One of Carson's best friend, Marshall, turned 8! We all met at the Playstation in Cedar Rapids to play and have donuts. We love all these cute kids! I was laughing after when I went to clean up and there was a table full of donuts with the frosting just eaten off. 

I went and put Liam down for a nap and by the time I came back down I found Brooks crying and blood everywhere.. The pictures don't even do it justice at all. He tried to cut himself an orange and sliced his finger. Then he tried to fix it by himself so there were bloody Band-Aids and towels all over. It took a good 30 mins for me to get it to stop bleeding and then Jordan brought home some glue from the hospital to glue it shut. 

We wrapped it all up and he ate his freeze dried mangos from Grandma and Grandpa Campbell.
