Harper-potamus is five

Happy Birthday Harper Baron Heathcott!!! My sweet oldest boy is FIVE years old today. Time is going by too quickly. He has grown up right before my eyes. The anticipation for his real birthday had been building over the last week, but it was finally the big day!!

At 6:45 AM the celebrating began. He came into our room and asked why he had streamers hanging on his door. I reminded him that it was finally his birthday!! Ms. Maria was already at the house taking care of the little babies so I got extra snuggle time watching cartoons with the bday boy. Cam made pancakes at Harper's request. He makes the best tasting and prettiest pancakes! Harper opened a few a presents. He had already opened most of his presents earlier in the week. I saved a few little susses for today.

Excited for pancakes!!

Addy and Poppy came over and brought Harper a birthday donut complete with a singing candle. What is it with little boys and fire?? He wanted to light the candle over and over!!

We packed up our stuff and headed out to the lake so the birthday boy could fish. Unfortunately, we had boat problems so we fished from the dock. It was HOT so it didn't last very long. We headed back to the house to play with some more new birthday presents.

Before Harper left to go on a special overnight date with Addy and Poppy we had a little photo shoot. Fourteen is a great day in our house. Harper's birthday is August 14th, the triplets birthday is April 14th, and mine is September 14th! Cam has it easy!! So Happy 5th and 16 Months to my boys!!

What it was really like.....

AND, a few more "Harper-isms"
I do.not.ever. want to forget the precious things Harper says...

Harper starts his prayer off like this every.single.time- "Dear God, Help us to be good and healthy"

"Look mom I made "Birth-marks" on the drive way!"- After making skid marks with his bike.

Mom, I like to get hot, I'm a guy! -After telling him it is too hot to go outside.

Every night after we say our prayers he tells me he loves me to "Upper than Heaven"
Harper- Mom, am I an athlete?
Me- Yes
Harper- Are Cooper and Gentry?
Me- Yes
Harper- Yes!!! (fist pump)
