"Hey, Mom, I'm Four!"

So...Isaac's four. He tells me every day now. We celebrated several times.

While Jared's family was in town there was an early celebration (mmm, chocolate lava cake...with...tea candles on top....).

Here he is with his very most favorite gift EVER: a double barrel shotgun. It has kept him occupied about 98% of his waking hours since he got it.


We had a fun and busy day on his birthday, which ended with his first bowling experience. If it looks like the ball is just sitting there, well...that's about what it felt like to watch it wander down the lane.
It was a late night, but we couldn't skip the cake.


Then we hosted a party at preschool the next day with some friends. Silly hats weren't the only activity, but that's when I remembered the camera. He was so glad to have friends to party with!

I can't even believe how much he's grown, and not just his little body.

2 days old

1 year old

3 years old

My big 4-year-old

I've never met such a sweet, happy, helpful boy. He surprises me every day by the things he seems to understand, the ways he's able to help and the patience he shows with Noah.

Dallin is pretty psyched about being four, too. Aside from the once-a-day reminder, I think it's pretty cute. :) Happy birthday Isaac! He is one handsome stud!

I'm glad he had a great birthday! I didn't know Jared's parents came out to visit! Fun! We miss you guys! I remember that 2nd birthday fireman birthday party! You guys always have great birthday parties. I'm a lame mom and Tanner has still never had one. But we might just have to break down for his upcoming 5th! (I might need birthday party tips from you. . . .)
