Wesley Celebrates #4

Last Monday the 9th Wesley turned 4. It's hard to believe that we had him not quite a year after we moved here and he is already 4. We tried to make his birthday fun, even though he came down with a fever that afternoon and wasn't feeling well. (Ellie also got a fever that day.) Wesley is the testosterone we need in our family. He loves to wrestle with anyone who will take him on (and sometimes with those who don't) and do all things boy. He is also very curious and is always asking questions about things. You never have to wonder if he is around, he talks a lot and most of the time very loudly. We love you Wes and are glad you are part of our family!


Wes continued the new tradition it seems we have started this year of getting to open a present first thing in the morning.


He had picked this "How to Train a Dragon" toy out a few weeks before, but didn't know I bought it. He's already lost parts of it, but has loved playing with it.


To my surprise he changed his mind about a Lightening McQueen cake and asked for a cat cake instead. Actually it was easier for me, so I didn't mind at all. Didn't know he cared for cats.


The presents had to be opened before the cake and ice cream. He just couldn't wait!


Make a wish!


He did it!


Our little batman...he got this dress up for his birthday. It's a little big, but he'll grow into it.

Spring Sing

Never knew how fun it could be to watch a boy perform in a preschool program. He had so much energy and just couldn't keep from playing with the kids around him. That must be why they sat him on the end of the row near the teacher. He was seriously so much fun to watch. If I had ever had success uploading a video to blogger, I would try to do the one of his performance. Unfortunately, you will just have to deal with some still pictures Reili and Amberly took of him. Some of them are a little fuzzy due to the closeness and lack of light involved.

This is Elizabeth in my room like 2 minutes before we left for the performance. She is in a phase where when we take out the camera she knows it's time to laugh and giggle. I just love it, but I know it will be a different story in a few months so I have to capture it.


Wow....singing and doing the actions!


Hmmmm.....digging for a prize?


Near the end he settled down and even started to look a little tired. Boy, a performance of that magnitude can really take a lot out of you!


Wes's art after the show. Not quite sure what his Dad needs rings for?


Another picture one of the girls got right after we got home from the show. See...she totally hams it up for the camera. What a doll!
