My Darling Brodyn!

Brodyn you turned 5 years old today, where did the years go? The first time that I realized that yes indeed you would grow up, was when you started to crawl. Your baby soft knees became dry, a little rough and slightly callused! Now you keep growing, you are getting taller and skinnier. Each birthday that comes and goes seems to gradually melt away a baby feature here and another there. I miss you, I miss you, every stage that passes me by. I see your little pictures and I look at that tiny face and it's hard to remember that little baby boy, because my 5 year old is who I can't get enough of now!
I love you Brodyn. You are my pride and joy..."I'll eat you up...I love you so!" Happy Birthday!
Here is a look at some fun presents Brody got! I think his favorite is that orange gun. It makes sounds and smokes and cocks open to put pretend bullets in!
Grandma and Grandpa Thatcher came by and dropped off an awesome hotwheel race track, here's both of them trying to help Brody put it together!
Too much fun!
We actually had a birthday celebration the Saturday before. When you pick up the cake and balloons up on Saturday because you can't on Sunday, it is just too much to ask a toddler to wait a whole other day to open presents!!
Take a deep breath and blow!
Always making silly faces at the camera!
The Brenchley grandkids, ready to eat pizza, cake and ice cream!
Best day ever!
This birthday, Brody is obsessed with the movie "How to Train your Dragon!" We actually all love it, so here is his dragon birthday cake!
Happy Birthday sweetheart...I love watching you grow and I treasure every moment and every stage that passes us by!

They do grow up so fast. Faster than I ever imagined. I am hving a hard time thinking that my first baby boy is leaving on a mission in only 4 years. Cherish each day.

Brodyn is such a sweet boy. Happy birthday to him and congrats on baby girl #2!
