Drake turned six at the end of last month! I can't believe how fast these last six years went by! He is in kindergarten this year and loves it. His teacher Mrs. Kagie is great, and he has made a lot of friends in class. When I went into volunteer at this class, she told me that she had never seen a class respond to one student quite the way this class had. She said that he is the leader of his class, and whatever he says to do they all do it. She is sad to lose him when we move after Christmas, and he his sad to go.
Both boys birthdays were pretty low key this year. I just wasn't quite up to anything more this year with all we have had going on the last two months since Noemia was born. On their birthday's I always let them chose what they want to do for the day. Drake wanted to go to Chik-fil-a for lunch before school, so my mom, aunt, and cousin met us at chik-fil-a for lunch, later my dad felt left out so he let him choose what he wanted for dinner, and he chose Panda Express. After meeting all the family there, we came back to my parents house and opened gifts and he had brownies and ice cream.
As a joke, my cousin had told him that Justin Bieber was going to come to his party because he was here visiting. (Drake loves music, and loves his music, but will no longer admit it because his dad has brainwashed him into thinking he is not cool) So she went and bought a life size cut out of him, and walked it in, you can tell drake is trying not to smile and show he likes it.Drake is our little protector and responsible big brother. He LOVES LOVES his new little sister. He is always checking on her and wanting to help feed her her bottle, give her her bath etc. It is amazing to see how much he has grown in maturity over the last year. He is able to make friends with kids all age, I constantly have the eight and nine year old neighbors knocking on my door to see if Drake can come and play. He is learning to read and is constantly reading words as we drive around or as we read books together. I am so proud of how much he helps and how much he loves his siblings. Him and Gavin are still the best of friends and the worst of enemies at times. He loves BYU football, and watched almost every game with my dad this last year. He can't wait until next fall when he is old enough to start.
