Party like you never have be 4 !!!

Good morning Birthday Boy! This is what Bradley woke up to and notice it is still dark.  We opened gifts at 6:30 in the morning like it was Christmas! 

Go figure that his Batman Pajamas were dirty  and he chose these.  The snowman pajamas must have been what made him think it was Christmas. 

Daddy helping him read his cards.

Gifts from Mimi and Dunka. A lion blanket and so much more.

Farting whistles!!

 

Mommy and Daddy got him a glow in the dark batman shirt, his cool dude gym shorts, batman tattoos and of course his PARTY!

The invitations said 1 o’clock so now it is time to PARTY!

Table of gifts and favors for the party goers. 

Holy Batman there were 19 kids!

The BATMAN cupcake cake that turned out great!  Cream cheese icing and half vanilla, half chocolate cupcakes.  

Mom (Mimi) helped me so much and Liz showed up in time to help with setting out the food.  There was 15 minutes to set up everything so of course guests arrived early and I was still decorating. 

Birthday Mom and soon to be Birthday Mom in a week. 

The kids had total run of the gym for exactly 1 hour!  That included trampolines, balance beams, the foam pit, tumbling blocks and just running FREE like kids love to do!

The gymnastic coaches did little station/ drills with them.

 

Girls chatting.  Look how early we start! haha!

Johnny in the foam pit. 

They wrote this on one of the trampolines for him!

Two out of three of Bradley’s best girls.  Jordan is the other girl he likes and they all like him back.  He is a little ladies man I hear! He had to go pee but I’m sure he didn't want to stop playing. 

I wonder why they like him so much? What a gentleman! 

Daddy and Gavin enjoyed all the fun too!

 

The babies practiced their butterfly and leg stretching!

Dunka was so great and held Easton the whole time for me.  I wanted to hold him off from nursing so I could enjoy Bradley. 

 

Gavin Wavin.  One day it will be his turn to party with all his friends. 

Now the playing is done and we all go upstairs for Chic-fil-a nuggets and Cheese puffs and all the kids favorites!

“Happy Birthday to You…..”

“Happy Birthday Dear Bradley….”

Making his wish and going for it!

Since the party was limited time and he had 19 gifts to open from each friend we had to take the gifts home.  It took us about another hour to open all of them!

He got so many great things.  So much Batman toys and other superhero stuff and Toy Story things.  He was so excited and thankful for everything!

Mommy and Daddy pose for a picture with the Birthday Boy after things calm down for the day.  I love celebrating my children’s birthdays and it went by so fast. 

Mimi and Dunka left this morning to drive back to DC.  We had a really great time hanging out with them and they watched the boys for us to go out last night to dinner!

Happy 4th Birthday Bradley!

Our first born is growing up! Today is Bradley’s 4th Birthday and Holy Batman did we have fun! So much fun that I am very tired and will post all the pictures tomorrow of his special day but this is some pre birthday celebrating we did!

A card from Bella, Madelyn and Holden.

The gifts begin!

Friday he celebrated at school and Mommy made him Cake Pops per his request! All the kids loved them and I was proud of myself that even though the kitchen looked like a bomb blew up in it.  I got the job done for my Bradley!

Friday was an amazing warm and bright day so we played in the back yard with Mimi and Dunka while waiting for Daddy to get home from work.  Yesterday Brad officially got out of the military! His almost 10 year career has ended and we are moving on to bigger and better!

 

 

Then he made a wish and it came true.  “I wish, I wish that a Woody outfit will show up at my front door!”  Well, who can make that happen…grandparents! He makes a cute Woody!

Today he had his party at the Gymnastic Studio in town where they ran and tumbled and jumped.  I will post more tomorrow.

We had a great day celebrating the day this amazing son was born to us 4 long but short years ago! We love you Bradley Bear and Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you and your amazing heart!

 

Easton at 2 months

Today Easton is 2 months old.

He is smiling a lot these days when we talk to him and smile at him he smiles right on back! He certainly knows how to turn on the charm at an early age! It works for mommy that’s for sure! He has an appointment tomorrow so I will know his weight then. My guess is 13 pounds. He is still rocking the baby acne. He has been sleeping really great since I decided to break all the rules and put him on his stomach. You can literally hear the air coming out of him when you put pressure on his belly. He always lets off one really good burp after he eats and spits up quiet a bit but still can last 3 hours without eating again. He likes his baby carrier now, the one I wear him in and of course he is checking out and following his brothers with his eyes and wondering what is all the craziness about? He likes the warm bath now and is definitely a snuggler! He will let anyone hold him on there chest and rock him to sleep. Enough of all that, here he is…..

He is waving his hands a lot and sucks on his hands too when mommy or the paci are no where to be found. You will notice in the pictures all the little fists he makes. He must be learning how to defend himself. That may come in handy one day :)

I see that dimple!

Pictures always make them look bigger so this puts my little baby in perspective!

He loaded his diaper right here. This is the “stink” face!

Update: My guess was right. At his doctors appointment he weighed 13 lbs 10 oz.

A baby is sunshine and moonbeams and more. Brightening your world as never before.
