We spent the weekend in Sunriver, and on his birthday we invited family over for dinner, cake, and presents.

We had a damn good run with four, but I’ve got a great feeling about the year ahead.

    Happy Birthday, Dylan!
    I can’t believe he’s five already.

    Happy birthday to Dylan! It must be great having the blog to look back and read about all the memories from the past 5 years of his life.

    So next year you’ll have two in school also (mine are 10 and 5). I am both excited and terrified about that :)

    Happy birthday, Dylan!

    Oh, man, five? Really? That seems hardly possible! Happy Birthday, Dylan!

  7. Maggie on February 6th, 2013 2:16 pm

    Have I missed something in past years? Is that some kind of birthday journal??

    Also, HOW he is 5 is beyond me. I stumbled upon your blog right after you had the henna done on your belly. I’ve really enjoyed “watching” your boys grow up, though…they seem like really awesome kids :)…Happy Birthday, Dylan!

    Happy Five, Dillon!

    Happy Birthday Dylan!

  10. Angella on February 6th, 2013 9:51 pm

    I can’t believe it. That aside, Happy Birthday to the both of you. xo

    Um…didn’t you just get your belly hennaed? Seems like that was so recent it’d hardly be worn off yet………

    Wow.

    OMG – he’s, like, grown-up!

  13. Ashley on February 7th, 2013 9:59 am

    Sniff. I looked at my baby last night and sobbed that he’s never going to be any younger than he is right now. No more babies.

  14. Stacy on February 7th, 2013 12:44 pm

    Awwww, they’re both so big! And getting to be so handsome! Oh a side note, I figured it’d still be too cold to do stuff in the sun room, at least it’s still freezing here in Everett. But yay! Happy 5th Birthday Dylan!

  15. Kari on February 8th, 2013 1:27 pm

    It still astonishes me how he looks so much like his uncle.

    And your hair is long! It looks terrific.

    I can’t believe I have been reading since Riley was your only son. Happy birthday, Dylan.

    Aw! *Snuffle* Happy birthday to him and congrats to you guys. Looks like a wonderful way to celebrate.

  17. Justin on February 9th, 2013 12:04 pm

    Is that double entendre? – “a damn good run with four” – are you considering adding a 5th? Or do you purely mean his 4th year?

  18. Maria on February 11th, 2013 1:06 pm

    He looks EXACTLY THE SAME. But like, more stretched out. It’s wild. Your kids are so cute.

      space fault The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green I almost didn't want to read this because I knew it was going to be weepy. So, so, so, so glad I did. It broke my heart and packed it full. space theyreal Benefit's They're Real! mascara Totally updating my previous Blinc recommendation, because this mascara is the shit. Big crazylong lashes in one swoop. (Still: Blinc does go on better, and doesn't smear. It's just that Benefit's results are so much more dramatic.) space tana Broken Harbor, by Tana French I've read all her books and I'm pretty sure this is my favorite. Haunting and fast-paced and all sorts of messed up. space bigsexyhair Bix Sexy Hair I don't know if I actually get BIG SEXY HAIR when I use this, but I do get a noticeable difference in volume and manageability. Great for adding some oomph to your roots. space staydont BeneFit Stay Don't Stray This is, I guess, a sort of primer for concealer, and it's aMAAAAzing. When I use it with my undereye concealer, I have zero creases and much better coverage. Also, this wee mini size lasts for-flipping-ever. space tinybeautiful Tiny Beautiful Things, by Cheryl Strayed Hands down the best thing I've read in a long, long, long time. Maybe years. Maybe ever. space oribe Oribe Heat Styling Spray Fantastic product that you use before you curl/flatiron for supershiny hold. I have no idea how it works, but it goes on really really sticky -- like almost waxy -- and then the heat tool makes your hair feel soft. (I curl, then finger-comb.) space deadinside Dead Inside: Do Not Enter You know the addictive awesomeness of Found, and the haunting freakiness of thinking about a zombie apocalypse?
