I can't believe Josh is 4!






We now have a son who is 4 years old and it has been so much fun being his mother. He has a TON of personality, fabulous good looks (don't know where he got those from :)), enough mischief to last me 2 lifetimes, and more energy than he knows what to do with. He's basically your typical 4 year old boy. He's very into transformers. His favorite at this time is a toss-up between Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. He loves going to the park EVERYDAY and if we don't go, that's all I hear about......."Can we go to the park?" over and over. So that is what we did for his 4th birthday. I put his two favorites together and we got a good time. And little cleanup which was my main focus for the event, considering we had just celebrated Drew's 1st birthday the week before, with lots of cleanup! My wonderful mother was in town for both birthday celebrations and was a huge help. We made yummy fruit kabobs, chocolate cupcakes, and geniously ordered pizza! It was so nice. We held it at the Arbors Park which was across the street from our subdivision. The weather was perfect and the company great. Josh loved every minute of his party....flying kites, smashing the pinata, eating pizza, playing with friends! He is a VERY, VERY social child. :) We also heart-attacked his bedroom while he was at preschool. It was so funny to see the expression on his face when he saw the hearts leading up the stairs to his room. He absolutely loved it!

Cake, Cake, and more Cake!!!

Dad, Mom, and birthday boy before demolition!
"I am a happy, clean birthday boy!""I'm not sure about this sticky stuff."True birthday boy form for a 1st birthday party!
"I can't believe they gave me a cake all to myself!""Got milk anyone?"

It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To

As you can see, Drew was having a breakdown for his 1st birthday party and he hadn't even tried the cake! Luckily for us and the guests, he composed himself enough to partake of the sweet stuff!

Patriotic

Josh has learned to say the Pledge of Allegiance in his preschool. Our own little patriot!

Boys

Our boys are such a joy! I don't know what I would do without them in my life each and every day. Josh has been such a help to me with Drew and loves to play with him. Although playing sometimes means teasing too. They are both such good kids. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here. We're talking about boys here. They do have a tendency to be curious, mischevious, fun-loving, loud, talking motors that won't quit....ever! But overall, very fun.



Bath Time

Drew is such a little character. He absolutely loves bath time. I can honestly say eating and bath time are probably a toss up for him and he loves to eat! We can get some pretty funny faces out of him and some not so funny faces too. It's fun to watch his personality come to life and boy does Drew have personality.
