Happy Birthday Little Man!

This handsome thing turned four years old today!

It's hard for me to imagine that he would have ever turned out to be such a sweet and loving boy.  When he was born, he came out screaming and the only time he remotely stopped was when he was eating.  He didn't like anyone other than his mommy and always wanted to be held, which made for some rather difficult times. 

Now it's a totally different story... He is the best snuggler God ever created, he loves and tries to please everyone (even his sister - most of the time).  He is most definitely all boy and loves to destroy things, which is something I am learning to deal with.  David says if the worst he does is break a few toys and disassemble  some things then we've got it made.  After all, David admits to shooting out every window on the farm when he was little!

Oooohhhh - a light saber!

Mater!

This kid is loving Toy Story stuff

A Stealth Bomber, or as David is teaching him an F117

This little boy will be well versed in the technical names of all things military.  It wouldn't surprise me if David started bringing home images for Tristan to begin identifying.

Grandma sent Tristan several different Toy Story characters which wer a big hit!

Tristan's requested dinner of hot dogs, beans, and french fries

We had to buy a cake since I don't have any of my cake decorating things with me yet (after seeing the price of store bought cakes I will continue making my kids cakes!).

After paying too much for this cake, which was really cute, it didn't make it out of the store without getting smashed and jolted over to one side.  The (grumble, grumble) bagger, in his stupidity ultimate wisdom, placed a bag full of groceries on top of the cake!  Oh boy was I ticked!! My daughter, being the kindhearted soul that she is, says, "Mommy, I saw what happed, he put a bag on top of the cake.  It was an accident - you shouldn't be angry with him."  She can be so sweet - but really, he was a bagger, don't you think he should know better??  Okay, sorry about my rant!  Tristan still loved the cake and it did taste good.

Someone had to clean off the bottom of the car...

Despite the cake mishap (which he didn't care a lick about), we had a great day!

Happy Birthday baby boy!  We love you!
