4th Birthday!

 My sweet little boy turned 4 years old today!  He has changed and grown so much in the past year.  Currently his favorite things to do are play cars and hang out with his friends.  He is in his second year of pre-school and loves it.  He recently started a karate class and seems to enjoy it a lot.  His favorite color is grey....and I am not really sure where that came from.  He hates eating anything, but if he had to choose a favorite food it would be eggs or cereal.
 He loves to be silly and thinks he is SO funny!  He loves to play with his little brother, and they are so cute lately!  He only weighs 31 pounds...and he weighed 31 pounds on his 3rd birthday!  He LOVES books and we check out new books from the library about every 2 weeks.  He has a great imagination and loves to make up his own stories when we don't have a book handy.  He is always so affectionate and frequently gets talked to for kissing every little girl he sees!
 We spent the last week celebrating his birthday.  First we took both boys to Disneyland California.  They had a blast!  Everett is 40 inches tall and finally tall enough to ride some of the bigger rides.  He really wanted to see Cars-Land which was pretty cool.
 That night we stayed at the Hyatt, Huntington Beach.  We had an awesome suite with an ocean view!  This is one of my favorite hotels.  It is right on the beach and it has almost like a mini waterpark.  There are 3 waterslides, lots of pools, and a kid pool that is only a foot deep.  The kids loved playing here!

 Both boys went down the waterslide too many times to count.

 Then we had an octonaut themed birthday party at a local jumper place!  Everett was SO excited to have an octonauts party and has been talking about it and asking when it was for the last 8 weeks!
 I had a lot of fun collecting octonauts themed stuff for his party.
 I was really happy with my Kwazii and Peso cake pops too!
 The birthday boy got so many awesome presents....he is so lucky!
Since his birthday fell on labor day this year, we just continued celebrating through the weekend!  We spent Sunday at a pool party with family.  On Monday I made Everett a special pancake breakfast, then we headed over to a friend's house for another pool party.  And of course we had to sing happy birthday one last time!  Happy 4th birthday Everett....you are one special boy!
