Carter's 4th Birthday

Our big guy turned 4 on Friday. We celebrated in big 4 year old style:

A breakfast chosen by him of donuts and chocolate milk. Opening presents from Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, and aunts. A lunch consisting of root beer, blue raspberry slushie, and two kinds of chips (also chosen by him...:), 2 classes of preschool (not chosen by him), and then a BBQ up in American Fork canyon with cousins and aunts and uncles.



Carter's present from Mom and Dad was a new big boy bike. He cried when he saw it...and not out of joy. He's not really into riding...but it's a cool bike and when he saw all it had to offer he decided to give it a chance...whew~!

His BBQ in the canyon was really fun. We had cheese dogs and hamburgers, chips, soda, smores, and cake. He hiked and played with Jared and Braden to his heart's content. We love that Carter loves to be outdoors and enjoy nature so much. It's so beautiful and peaceful.

Today, Carter held his first friend party...a Knight and Princess Party.


The kids played in a bounce castle, decorated shields and princess hats, practiced their knight sword moves with Tyson, attended a "ball" dance party, ate dragon nuggets and cake, and hit a dragon pinata

Carter's cake of choice was a dragon...a fire-breathing dragon

The candles were a little tricky, so he needed a mighty Knight's help

We're so glad our Knight has been with us for four years. He is one cool boy. We're glad he has so many good friends close by to grow up with.
