Blade's 4th birthday

I love celebrating this little guy to kick off birthday season!

Since his birthday was on a Saturday, he had his school celebration a few days early. Dixie thought she was big enough for preschool. 



All his friends drew birthday wishes for him. 

Early Saturday morning, he got to open one present before we went to breakfast. A new Star Wars shirt from Aunt Cassidy!

Dixie got his old one and it's pretty cute.



Blade couldn't chose between two options, so he got both. What can I say? It's his birthday.

When we got home, he found a lego table and a bike waiting for him!

He still needs to grow into it...

Must start building immediately. 



The handsomest 4 year old in all the land.



We decided on a family outing to the Ogden Nature Center. It was just warm enough!

Dixie insisted on walking and it took for.ev.er. to do the 2 mile loop.


The big tree house was a hit.


And we even saw some deer.

The kids decided to "make mud" at the playground area. Why???


They have lots of cool birds, including eagles!

We were pretty tired when we got home but it was time for presents! And arm wrestling.



And then cake. I'm sure we had dinner in there somewhere, probably. 


Dragon ice cream!

Trying on his new knight costume.

We finished things out with a dr appt and and haircut the next week.

Looking fresh!

Poor guy got SO sick after his shots and was out like for like a week. He had a couple viruses hit right at the same time. He dried all week and it was so sad since he's normally really sweet and happy.
