Four on the 4th!!

Landon celebrated his "golden" birthday this year!! (You know, the once in your lifetime birthday where you turn the same age as the date of your birth...) He had been looking forward to this birthday for months and was eagerly counting down the days until June 4th!!

After an early-morning bike ride with Daddy (Abby and Landon were both up and ready to go at 6 a.m.!!) Landon came home to find his birthday wish list fulfilled (he actually only asked for the lawnmower so good thing we were able to find him that one!!)
(Look at the excitement on that little face!! And please pay no attention to the placement of his hands in this picture....we're working on that one!!)

We spent the morning and early afternoon with Tasha, Coldon and Reygan including a magical visit to the good old "Chuck E Cheese." (It was practically empty so it was like having our own little private party there!)

Then after Jason came home from work, it was time for some presents and cards from grandparents...


After an artery-clogging dinner at "Friendly's" we came home to eat even more sugar!! (I know its a sorry-looking little cake. I was lazy and just bought this cake from Sam's Club. It was surrounded by cupcakes that we had eaten at the baseball game two days before, hence all the missing frosting on the bottom!!)

It took him a few tries, but he finally blew out all four candles...

Two days later we remembered that we had also bought him this little football outfit for his birthday a while ago and had forgotten to give it to him (we could call that a "parent-fail" but we prefer to call it extending his birthday celebration!!)

He loved the uniform and ended up wearing it as his outfit for the rest of the day.

We love our little four-year-old!! He is truly ALL BOY! He runs, kicks, hits, yells right along with the best of them. He can leave me so frustrated one minute and completely in stitches the next (he has quite the humor and personality to match his rambunctious nature!!) He is a great little singer too and has an amazing ability to remember and memorize things. He loves swimming, bike riding, jumping on the trampoline and playing anything with a ball...but he could also watch TV or play the iPadfor hours if I let him (his two favorite shows right now...My Little Pony and He-Man. Go figure!!) He is a very difficult child at times but can also be so sweet, loveable and teachable too!

We can't wait to see all the ways he will learn and grow as a four-year-old!!
Happy Birthday Sweet Little Guy!!
