punkin's 4th birthday!

Time to wake up little four year old!

He got to open a present in bed!  He had gotten the big Octanaut set the night before and was so excited to get the final piece!

It was also free breakfast day at CFA...so of course we were there!  :P  & I called it birthday breakfast!  ;)

Man time flies!  We sure have had fun!

Exact time & date of Punkin's birthday!

We made a trip to Patti Cake's after school for a fun lil birthday treat!

He is secure enough in his man hood to enjoy a PINK cupcake!  ;)

His one request was to go to the "peanut place" (AKA Colton's) for dinner...so that's where we went!

The brought R some ice cream and a brownie!  There was a sweet little boy about Ryder's age in the room beside us, and on his way out he stopped and said, "Happy Birthday!"  It was seriously the sweetest thing and made R so happy!

He loves his Uncle G!

Me & my big four year old!

& a walk home from KeeKee & Poppy's after a fun but busy day!

So thankful for this little boy and all that he has taught me over the past four year!  I love you more than you will ever know baby boy! =)

ryder's pirate party @ school {four years old}

We did a "friend" party at R's school this year!  He finally wanted a pirate party and I was so glad because this is what I wanted to do last year!  :P

R loved helping me stuff the piñata for all of his friends!

Everybody got an eye patch & bandana to wear during the party and to take home!

Present time at SB is so much fun and so very sweet!  Each child hands their gift to the birthday child and let's them open it!  R was so overly excited and it made my heart so warm to see him so excited and over joyed about life!

Abigail & Dexter!

Evan & Andrew!

Camryn!

Time to walk the plank!!

Pinata time!  Everybody LOVED it!

We are so thankful for Snuggle Bug and all that it has done for me and Ryder over the past year!

ryder's family party! {4 years old}

We had R's family party at at Mimi & PawPaw's again this year...because he loved having it there so much last year and always talked about it!  We didn't really have a "theme" but we did have a Mexican food theme! ;)

It's so fun to get together with both sides of the family and for all of us to come together to celebrate this special little guy!  How is he really FOUR?!

We had a great turn out and R got lots of fun new toys to fit what he's into these days which includes: transformers, Ninja Turtles (especially dress up), Octonauts, and all kinds of games!  He loaded up!

His sweet cousin Caleb!

Everybody had lots of fun playing in the playroom!  Mimi has all the best toys!

R was mad at somebody during the pictures...which is why there isn't a great one!  :/

Aunt Amanda & Hannah!

With his Great Granny Jones and his Bonus Great Grand Mimi!  He's a blessed little kid for SURE!

That kid played with his new Octanaut Pod for a week straight after getting it!  He's still pretty crazy about it!  :P
