turning four

Just some photos from the big four year old's busy weekend. The cake stayed together and the party was loads of fun :)


He started the big day with a banana muffin with a candle in it for breakfast.
A cool new bike from Mommy and Daddy!
Opening presents at Grandma and Grandpa's house (he got a cool scooter and some outdoor toys)
Playing outside that afternoon with the sprinkler and new outdoor toys.




Ice cream cake with the Grandmas and Grandpas (and uncle Mark)Then the next day was his pirate party. Everybody at the party was given a pirate name. Here's Captain Matthew Firebeard! Captain Matthew's brother, "Parrot-Got-Me-Eye" Caleb:Here's the amazing lego pirate ship that Uncle Mark built for the pirate party. I couldn't get Matthew to look at the camera for this. Can you blame him? Before the big treasure hunt, the boys had to decorate their pirate treasure bags with foamie pirate stickers. On the way to the treasure, they were instructed to decorate our driveway with some pirate-y chalk pictures.
X marks the spot (quit looking at my derrière!)
Finally... the treasure!And another shot of the cake! How old are you buddy?
Building with his logs (a gift from Grandma and Grandpa D.)Caleb is learning not to break every log cabin that Matthew makes :)Mommy needs a little snuggle with her big birthday boy.

Phew! And then we celebrated Father's Day on Sunday too! What a busy weekend. But so much fun!
