Happy Birthday E!

On July 11th, our little guy turned 5. Enoch is the sweetest, most loving, most contagiously happy kid you could ever meet. He has become such a good reader this year that he shocks us when he sounds out long words during family scripture reading, or on signs as we drive down the road. He picks up chapter books and reads books aloud to Phinn. And he has grown several inches this year, all of his pants got shorter overnight. He is more sensitive than our other kids, and craves our hugs, snuggles, and company. It is endearing. I truly wish I could keep him this age forever, we love him so much. And we contintue the tradition of having a shark on his cake. Something that we started when he turned 2 and was old enough to show a love of sharks, which still exists now.
For his birthday he got too many great presents to go into detail, but armor was a huge hit as always. We'll be testing this out at some castles in the area shortly.

Blowing out the birthday candles. We told him that if we only put a 4 on the cake he would stay 4 forever, but he didn't fall for it.

Here is Phinn enjoying the festivities.
This was the only picture I have of Hilde on the day, you'll see more soon. She is more gorgeous everyday, I am starting to get a little worried.
