Forever Turning Four......

So because July has been such a blur....this is a bit untimely. However, our little man has turned 4 recently and has been celebrating for seriously the entire month it seems. This little guy had four separate celebrations that made it feel like he was being honored for the Nobel Peace Prize. He got to have a special beach party at Grandmas, a solo camping trip P&P, a pool party at our old stomping grounds in the "ville" with his Illinois family, and finally his little boy party at a bowling alley no less. So as you can see this guy was all smiles as he continually stuffed his face with cakes and got to be the center of attention (for once.....) Here are some pix of his many affairs.....

Homemade ice cream cake after a long day on the beach at Grandmas!

Then wearing his new Iron Man suit from the moment he opened it until well every day since...

His Illinois party was doubled with a family reunion of sorts.....My brother, Atom & Ivy were in town from Seattle so we all thought we would gather at our old stomping grounds Centennial Beach......It hasn't changed much and the kids loved it!

Cousins soaking up some rays...

Thanks Les and Coco for an adorable cake for the Brady Man!

Coco and Johnny....

Brooke and Syd.....

Next was the bowling party..... The pin cake turned out a bit falic......

Grandma and Brookie coordinated and set up the event.....

Let's get this party started......

The Older kids stayed to "help" the younger ones.....hahaha.....

Ahhh the infamous Maxx.... Brady's little pal from school that he was SOOO excited to have there....

The friend choke hold........

The rowdy gang......

The birthday boy in action....all in all the kids did great. They did loose interest during the second game and I thought it was funny that all the other patrons were watching us play duck duck goose in the corner to fill up some time.......

So my sweet little man you continue to make me smile and sometimes cringe on a daily basis. You have done a lot this past year and grown up in so many ways but will always remain my baby! I hope you take hold of every opportunity that comes your way and try as many new things as you are willing........(even if you are constantly being pushed out of your tiny tiny comfort zone) Whatever you do and at whatever speed you do it in.....you will always make me proud and I look forward to smiling at you during your next year......... keep being you and acting as if no one is watching you........

Happy Birthday Brady!
