Birthday Party!

Cameron turned 4 years old today and we celebrated by having a Power Ranger Birthday Party and a local park. Cameron was soooo excited to finally have his party. We had been marking days off on the calendar and the day was finally here! He got lots of cool things and new toys to play with. He was especially surprised when Spiderman came to his party! He had no idea that Spidey would show up! (Later this evening Spiderman also showed up at the house to tuck Cameron in his bed with his new Prince Caspian sheets.) You see, Cameron has been in the habit of sleeping in his mother's bed since we moved to Texas. He will take naps in his top bunk, but refuses to sleep alone at night. So, when he turned 4 the deal was that he would be big enough to sleep in his own bed. So, with a little help from some new sheets from a recently seen movie and a quick morale booster from Spidey, he's attempting to sleep tonight alone. The Spiderman suit in the picture that Cameron is wearing is one of his most favorite presents. It was the first present that I actually let him open early or I was going to have to buy it, knowing that he was getting it from Uncle John and Aunt Ashley and Esther and Emelia. He absolutely would not take his suit off for at least 3 days. He slept in it, went out to eat in it, went to Target in it, etc. Austin got to watch himself on video and proclaimed himself as a horrible actor. But, he tried and all the kids thought it was great to see Spiderman. Even several non-party kids from the bigger pool came over to see Spiderman! All in all, the party was a success and enjoyed by all.

About Me

Austin is my oldest son. He loves most sports with a ball (especially baseball and football), used to take taekwondo, used to play the piano (when forced to practice), now plays the trombone,and is a very good chess player. I could go on and on here, but needless to say, I'm pretty proud of all his accomplishments. If this is what he does now, I can't wait to see what his future holds! My younger son is Cameron. He's 4 going on 30. His life is full of admiring his older brother, trying to be just like him, but also pestering him just as Austin pesters him. Cameron loves to eat and never misses a meal. He is into trains, trucks, just about any vehicle that he can "drive" or push as fast as he can go, likes to watch Little Einsteins, Barney, Spiderman, Stuart Little, and has now joined the Harry Potter club. He is also trying to see how far he can push my buttons. I think that is a normal 4 year old thing, maybe???
