Easel

I found this easel at a consignment sale for $7. It has provided lots of fun for Will! and Walker to if he can get into it!

This happens probably 25 times a day! Same goes for the kitchen table, the piano and anything else he can figure out how to get up on. He even pushed a chair up to the kitchen counter, climbed on the counter top and threw my laptop off while I was gone to switch the laundry in the dryer for all of 1 minute! This boy DOES NOT STOP! If he can get into it, he will. If he can't, he will figure out a way!

Opening Presents

Okay, these are the last of the birthday pictures. I know I posted alot, but we had so much fun and I wanted to remember every detail. We had a water themed Scooby Doo party in our backyard. We set up a slip in slide, blow up jumpy thing, water balloons, water guns and baby pool. Will had all of this little "boy" friends from school and church. They played and then had lunch, cake and ice cream and then he opened his presents. What a fun day for a VERY special 4 year old. He is very proud to tell everyone that he is 4 now. These past 4 years have FLOWN by. He makes us laugh everyday. The other night we were reading books and he said, "Mom, can I get a bidnight snack?" I don't know where he got this b/c luckily for us, he's never stayed up until midnight. He has a great memory and can recall lots of facts from books he has read. He takes his job as big brother VERY seriously!! He is like a little daddy and he says he wants to be a daddy when he grows up and can't wait to be one. He loves toting his baby brother around and talks to him so sweetly. He is very generous with his toys and snacks and always puts others before himself. Another night we were talking and I was showing him a little photo album I have of when Len and I were dating and I explained to him that we got married because we love each other and I told him that when he grows up, he will meet a girl and marry her. He said, no mommy, I'm going to marry you. I swooned and he sat there a second and then said with a frown on his face, "but your already married." So precious!

Blowing out the candles

When we started planning out Will's birthday party, he insisted on having a Scooby Doo theme. We have this hideous ;) cake to prove it! It was delish and he was delighted! We are so proud of our sweet, charming, energetic, smart, tenderhearted little (big) 4 year old! He doesn't meet a stranger and walks up to everyone he sees and says, I'm Will and I'm 4 and this is my baby, Walker. Lately, he has captured the hearts of different people we have met. We were at a restaurant in FL and the manager came to our table and Will started talking to him. Later on, he came up to Will and told him that he normally didn't do this, but offered him free ice cream because he was so friendly to him. The air conditioner man came out to fix our AC the other day and Will kept talking to him and asking him questions. The guy had already gotten in his car and drove away when I got another knock at the door. He came back just to bring Will this little AC superhero called the "bryant man." It was so sweet of him and he didn't have to do that. We have had other instances like this and I like to think it's because he is very charming:) He brings me more joy than I can describe! My heart belongs to him and I can't contain my love for this little boy. I could write a book about how precious he is to me and Len.

Birthday Fun

Jumping and Baby Pool Swimming

We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather. Our backyard gets FULL sun and it is very hot in July out there! It was overcast and not to hot so we didn't suffer to much. The boys enjoyed jumping on a jumpy blow up thing (thanks McInteers :) and played in the baby pool.
