hole in one @ mini golf!

We had a great family day celebrating Jack's 5th birthday.  He even topped it off with a hole in one at mini-golf!  Five years have sure flown by!  Jack is such a good buddy with a big heart and we are so lucky to have him.  He finished his career at preschool  and will move onto 4K at a bigger school next year, eeekkk!  It has been so much fun to watch everything he has learned this year, he just loves drawing, cutting and writing.  I am always amazed at the creativity and detail in his drawings.  He's insistent on writing on all cards, letters, etc himself now.  He's starting to sound out words and every once in a while he will spontaneously say a word in Spanish instead of English thanks to his Spanish lunch program at school.  He's very inquisitive about the world around him and asks A LOT of questions, lol!  He's been playing soccer this spring and soon will start t-ball for the summer.  Jack plans to learn how to ride bike without training wheels this summer and also plans to use his sprinkler, slip-n-slide and water balloons a lot  :)  He also wants to get together with friends from school for play dates at the park, it's so cute how close he has gotten with friends from school this year.  Jack loves to be silly and goofy and I am going to try and soak up as much Jack time as I can this summer before he goes off to school five days a week in the fall.
