Baker's Birthday Party

WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE??? It seems just like yesterday that I was sitting in Birmingham praying over my little miracle... Now, he is 5 and ready for Kindergarten!!  But this year he is into the superhero's... Spiderman, Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor are his favorites!! So, since I wanted an "easier" party, we did a swim party and I think it was just perfect!!! The weather was Sunny and the water was cool... but not cold, and it was field with Family and Friends!!! 

Once again, Here is another one of my favorite cakes made by Tina's Little Cake Shop. I still think that her cakes not only look Amazing but they are SO Yummy!!! And the little green things around the cake are little Kryptonite bites... Just colored melted white chocolate green and dipped in sprinkles.

I saw this sign on Pinterest... so I decided to make one too!! I needed something to go on the fence so I thought this would be great!! 

Maybe a little hard to see... but This is his Baker sign. I try to make one every year, and this year my sister's boyfriends was getting rid of some comic magazines and asked if we wanted them before he threw them out. So I cut out the background from the comic looking pages and strung it up! And I also got the idea of of the BAM and BOOM thing from pinterest too!! Gotta love Pinterest!!!

A couple of years ago, My mom made Baker a cape for his Wheelchair but since it was a swimming party, I didn't want it wasted so we used it on the gate!! Welcome to the PARTY!!! 

 Baker woke up and said WOW at all the stuff everywhere!! HA! We put it all together while he was still doing his breathing treatment!!

Happy Birthday BakerMan!!! We love you SO SO very much!!! A Bushel and a peck and a Hug around the neck!!! 

Splashing in the pool!!!

Ha!! This picture didn't turn out too good, but I thought it was funny!!!

My little GRADUATE!!!

I am beyond happy that today was my Baker's preschool graduation!! This is such a milestone for us and we are beyond thankful that we got to Celebrate this occasion!!! And I wish that I could just put my memories of the program on the page for you to see how Awesome he did!!!  But you will have to just take my word for it! 

I was worried at the beginning... for a few reasons. 

1. He was going to be on stage with his powerchair...

2. He had speaking parts... and I didn't know if he would do it! and

 3.  I wanted him to show-out and not act Rotten like he can do sometimes!!

Here Baker had to say Attention, Salute, Pledge but he was more worried with the microphone on his head. This is when my panic started... Of course I didn't care if he was perfect, but I wanted people to see him as the miracle that we see him as! So needless to say, he only wanted to say pledge... So that is what he did!! HA!!

Next was the Day's of the Week song. And I was beyond proud of him (and the class) from this point on!! 

And this is my cousin... and Baker's Speech therapist!!! She has been so wonderful and I love that she is working with Baker!! I know she won't let him slack any and pushes him to do what he CAN do!!! 

Next was the numbers... and Baker said all the numbers 1-10 while the children said how to write the number!! 

And this song was one that even I did in preschool... many years ago... except it was on a record back then!! HA!! And Baker REALLY loved the sticks!!! 

And my little Graduate!!! I wanted to cry... really bad, but the mom beside me was crying enough for both of us!! 

Getting his diploma! 

And boy was he thinking that he was HOT STUFF!! ha!!! 

This is my mom, Baker's Nana and she is a Kindergarten teacher in the school. She brought her class in to watch the program cause she wasn't missing it!! 

And this is Baker's nurse... and his BEST friend!!! I am so thankful that God brought her into my/our lives!! We love her and her family very much!!! 

Baker and Aunt Kay Kay

Very proud parents!!! 

And here is Baker's Teachers...

And last one... Baker and Parker... 2nd cousins and Great Friends!!! 

Game 2 and 3

More photo's from the Miracle League!! I hope that you enjoy!! And let me just say this... If you haven't been to a game, I really think that you should come!! I have a disabled son, and to see the joy on other children's faces does my heart good! I have actually cried watching some of these kids play!!! 

Game 2: The LBWCC Saint's baseball team came to help!!

Baker on first!

 And Baker being very lazy and letting the helper drive him!! HA!!

 

 Baker and the BEST helper... his Daddy!!

High five from Homer!!! 

Baker's favorite part is hitting... and running around the field!! Still working on teaching him bases!! 

I love capturing the pictures of Derek and Baker talking and playing!! 

Again, A group picture!! Thank you Saints!!! 

Baker and Zack

And a little photo with Homer

GAME 3:

And I think this picture is precious!! Snot bubble and all!!! 

Again, Baker Man up to bat

He was supposed to be heading straight down first base but instead, he knew that he was going to have to stop, so he took a sharp turn towards the pitchers mound... this is after Derek got him back on course!! 

Ready to throw his ball in!! 

Another group shot of the volunteers...

And a HUGE Thank you to the Reynolds... They made Baker a Poster and cheered for him during the game!!! 

And since it was Baker's Birthday, his coaches got him some cupcakes and everyone sang Happy Birthday to him!! He was loving that!!! 

And Baker's KayKay... we are so happy to have her home some this summer!!! Her school is way to far away!!! Baker LOVES this person... for sure!!! 

I hope you enjoyed looking at all the pictures from the first 3 games... I will continue to post more... so be on the look out!! In the mean time, we are planning a family birthday party for Baker, getting ready to go to Montgomery for a family wedding, and traveling to watch my neices softball team at State... Not to mention, nursing school starts back next week, and tons of other things that are happening!!! So I should be posting lots more soon!!!
