Ammon's 6th birthday

Today has been a great day to celebrate our sweet, full of life Ammon's 6th birthday!! Last night the 3 big kids had a sleepover in the basement. This morning when he woke up he stayed downstairs to watch Simeon play the Wii. When we asked him if he wanted to see his presents, he came running up stairs, looked at them and then something more interesting caught his eye.


The electricians working in the kids bathroom. He stood in the hallway watching them for 10 minutes before he even came back to the table to look at his presents. He saw his new bike helmet that he had needed and wanted for months. He also got a Zhu Zhu pet DS game and a 1,000+ piece army lego set.
For breakfast he wanted very berry muffins. I had to get up and get them going quickly because the electricians were also going to be working in the kitchen and turning off the electricity for a while.


We played at home in the morning, then for lunch we headed to Hu Hot. After lunch we went to the Coralville Aquatic center to swim. Today was hot and sunny, so it was the perfect day to swim. He had such a great time swimming under the water with his goggles and playing with dad who took the day off to spend it celebrating with us.
After we dropped Simeon & dad off at their game and went to Wendy's for a frosty and dinner. While Ammon was eating his hamburger with pickles, he noticed that he had a gap on the bottom row of teeth.


His loose tooth had fallen out while he was eating. He was so super excited that he ran to dad in the dugout to show the gap to dad. What a neat thing to have happen on your birthday!! Since he was eating when it fell out, he probably swallowed the tooth because we never did find it.

It was such a fun day celebrating this special day with Ammon. He puts so much of himself into everything he does. He has such a strong spirit within him. He is wildness and sweetness wrapped up with love. He loves to be going, but then will sit for hours playing with legos or action figures. He has an amazing imagination and loves to play knights, dragons, army or house. He strongly states he doesn't like girly things, but will sit next to Corrine and watch a princess movie with her, or play Littlest Petshop with the girls. He has an amazing memory and loves to learn about new things. He is such a wonderful full of life kiddo that I am so excited to have the privilege of being the mother to. I love you Ammon Eli. Happy Birthday sweet boy!
