He's FOUR - It's Official!!

We had a fun party with Brannen yesterday on his birthday!  Yep the little turkey is FOUR!!  Be prepared for many many a picture!!

 Oh the excitement!!

 His very cool How to Train Your Dragon cake - that I did not make.  : (  I'm getting old and lazy!  But it was awesome and what he wanted.

 Presents!!

 Waiting for grandparents to get here - kids are busy with a fun new game on the ipad, but all the little man can think about are those PRESENTS!! 

 Very excited to get "real money" from grandpa Jonesy.  He was thrilled - and has been carrying it around a lot.  I don't think he will be able to spend it!

 Finally ---present time!!

 Rae and Brady got a little silly - and stalker like!  They were having fun.  Poor Grandmas!  Hope they survive the attack!!

 Bran is a careful present opener.  He stops and throws away each piece of paper as he rips it off.  Drives Kelly crazy - but I'm glad he's clean!  Clean and cute!

 Best present of the day - for sure - thank you Grandma Chris!!  Shooting bottles off a log!  Too much fun!  The other kids - and Kelly - are always stealing his gun to take a shot.  Fun stuff!!

 OH MAN!!

 The main gift that we got him - that didn't turn out as great as we thought.  It is a gun game to play with the kinect.  Shooting animals!  Fun for Bran right?  It is just a little tricky.  For Brady and Kelly even - so don't know if it will work out.  Oh well - we tried - and he's pretty happy watching them try to play. 

 Pin the tail on the donkey!!  He really wanted to play - so the kids were good sports!

 What is it with this kid and using guns to blow out candles?!?  He he he!  He is so funny!

 He also loves trick candles!  He laughs so so hard - it is funny!  He even lost the gun to try and blow them out. 

 He finally said - "Everyone is going to have to help me!!"  It was super cute!

 Time to eat that cake!  Not to mention play with the dragon on the cake!

 And last but not least (I know, I know lots of pictures!  I'm kinda nutty about this boy) is the "hatch a bird egg" phone call from Grandpa Jonesy.  A tradition!  A very very fruity tradition - but hey you can always count on it!  Wouldn't even know it was your birthday without it!!  Bran was amused and a little confused . . . . .   :  )

So there ya have it.  He is four now.  Can't believe it.  I sure do love this Guy.  He makes my life fun everyday and I love being his mom.  It is a huge blessing to me that I get to spend everyday with him.  I am grateful for the chance every single day!!
