Four Years and Counting

Here's Phoenix with all his friends. Sequoia and Carter in back and Phoenix and Brampton in front.

Here's the birthday cake on top of the washing machine. Maybe this will remind me of all the counter space we don't have.

A gift card from Grams and Grandpa complete with a $50 gift card to Wal-Mart.

I had to get a picture of this. She never lets Uncle Malachi walk in the room without bawling her head off. She actually let him hold her this time.

So you have to keep yourself occupied somehow while you're waiting for the party to start!

It's birtday time again. Phoenix is officially four years old today. He's been waiting a long time for this one. He had a really fun birthday. He got trucks galore! It's almost seven o'clock and he's been playing non-stop since his party at 12 noon. Besides all the trucks he got a real fishing pole from Aunt Andrea and Uncle Malachi. Last year they gave him a toy fishing rod which was a lot of fun but this year he decided he was done with the toy stuff and wanted the real thing. His Mamu and Paw-Paw got to come to the party this year which was a nice treat. We'll miss not living so close to them. Sequoia enjoyed the birthday too, even if there were tons of boy toys. She really likes the trucks too thanks to big brother. (It's ok Q-Bear, on your birthday you'll get enough baby dolls and jewelry to rival all the boy toys.)
