Look Who's 4!!!

My baby boy turned 4 on Friday, September 14th!!! 4 years ago today my TINY little bundle of shall we say "dynamite" was born! He weighed in at 6 lbs. and has only gained 20 lbs. since! He is still my little peanut! It's amazing to me that he is 4. He does act it and is getting way too smart for his own good. I'm sure it doesn't help to have older siblings and tween-agers in the mix :) He's a great boy! He's such a snuggle bug! We had to decorate a large bag for a preschool activity and here are some of the things Porter told me were his favorites.

-The rain
-Playing with my friends

-Digging in the dirt to find bones
-Eating Mac & Cheese
-Going to the Zoo
-Playing with race cars (matchbox cars)
-Hugging and kissing mom
-Watching mom's married video (he's obsessed with it)
-Puppies
-Babies
-Dressing up like a superhero
-Playing at the park
-Riding bikes
-Going to preschool
-Taking long baths (oooh a son after my own heart!)
-Going to "Chik a lay" (Chikfila)
-Finding snakes (in my backyard might I add...yuck!)
-Shark shows! (he loves the discovery channel)


Here's some photos from our "family" party. We tried to sneek it in between school and football practices. We have a Puppy Party planned for Monday with a few of the neighbor kids. (last minute idea mom thought she had to do!)


One funny story to go along with Porter's day. I completely ran out of time today because unlike my usual nature, I took him to get his picture taken today! Wow, I know, don't faint...
When we finally left after 2 hours, we had no time left to make the cake (batman) so I took him to the grocery store to pick something out. He was so funny! He walked up to all the cakes, with tons of choices, he points right to the a small round carrot cake and said "Oh, I want that one with those little carrot guys on it!" It was priceless. So funny! What kid do you know that would pick a carrot cake. He actually liked it too. I have to admit I was thrilled because I love carrot cake!

Oh, so sad! Our little boys are growing up. Jack's b-day is on thurs. and he keeps telling me he doesn't want to be 4. I don't want him to either. So funny about the carrot cake. Jack is going to love seeing Porter in his Batman costume. He loves seeing all hos friends on the computer. Tell Porter Happy Birthday from Jack.

Carley is sitting next to me as I cruise through all the blogs. When we came upon Porter's birthday pictures I told her who he was and that he turned four on the exact same day she turned five. She says "oooh, that's tricky!"

Cute about the carrot cake!

It's hard to believe our boys are growing up! I love the story about the carrot cake. Caleb did the same thing this year. We went to pick out his birthday cake, and there were so many fun ones to choose from - Lightning McQueen, Spiderman, Thomas, etc. I couldn't convince him to get any of these. No... Caleb wanted the rainbow cake. The rainbow cake??? Crazy boys!

He is getting so big! What a fun birthday party!
