Happy Birthday Rhody!

Rhody turned 4 years old this weekend! He is thrilled to be four years old. I can't think of anything that the age of 4 brings. You know, 16 means you can drive. 18 means you can vote. 21 you can drink. 4 means nothing--officially, except you should definitely be buckling yourself into a car seat or mama will go crazy. We are making it "4 years old means you don't cry over everything."

Didn't actually work on his birthday. He had some tears during the party. I think it could have had something to do with his mom swiping his legs from under him right as he was running into home plate. (total accident of course)

Don't worry all my sweet friends. I am not forcing my boy to stuff his feelings and never cry. We are just trying not to burst into screaming tears when baby brother looks at him wrongly.

Don't get me wrong, I love that Rhody is a tender-hearted boy. He is precious and sweet. He is compassionate and free-spirited. He loves sports. He can't wait for April (baseball season) since football is officially over. He is a picky eater but will try almost anything once. He loves his family and always wants us to be together--with some grandparents and cousins for sure. He loves to watch kid shows or sports games on tv. He is learning how to sound out words from his sister (cute). He could go pro if nose-picking was a sport.

Family Pic. Not so great but we never have any pictures all together!

The awesome cake that Gobby (Kyle's mom) made for Rhody. It looks great but tastes even better. She puts a ton of time, energy and love into the cakes she makes for the kids. She even came with party favors and decorations for the party. I know, you're jealous.

Most of the kids from the party. We played baseball with the kids. It was really just kids whacking the ball off the tee and running fast toward first base or whatever base they wanted.

At the end of the party and just some cousins were around, Rob (the Jedi Knight) played with all the kids. Bo was totally into it. He was into everything, full out, all the way. It was so cute.

Plus, did I mention that it was 70 degrees on January 31st? How awesome is that? We were able to have an outdoor party for him last year too. So Texas--it was a snow day on Wednesday and a baseball party outside on Saturday! Love it.

I love you Rhody! Tears and boogers too!
