Five

I blinked.

And this guy turned five.

Today we’re celebrating big at our house.  Well, I should say big-ish.  We had his big party last night where he invited his own friends and everything.  Five is big-you guys.


Bowen Hency is a big ole ball of FUN!

I always mention that Tab is the fun one between the two of us.  #hebringstheparty  Bowen clearly gets this trait from his dad.

Of all my kiddos, he’s the one who can “work” a room, so to speak.  At any given moment, he can hold a conversation with a grown man, baby talk to a baby, and then find a friend to go play.  He’s a people person.

He’s still in that precious little spot where he can snuggle with his mom and go play outside with Nixon and his friends.  #itsasweetspot

This past year he got his turn to play sports…tee-ball in the spring!

Bowen is the peace maker in our family.

He’s super laid-back and just the coolest kid.  #mombrag


Bowen will do anything Nixon and Ebby Lee want to do…just to get to play with them.  Which means he’ll wrestle, throw the football, and play school in a span of fifteen minutes.  🙂


Bowen has been the sweetest big brother.  I was expecting him to show a little bit of jealousy over not being the baby, but he’s blossomed in his new role.
