Tommy's Birthday

I never did a post for Tommy's birthday! We celebrated while Grandma and Grandpa were here. I can't believe my Tommy is 4! Here are some of Tommy's favorite things at age 4.






"Dee" This is the name for his blanket. He has to have it to sleep, and as long as he has Dee, he will be sucking his thumb. (yes, still)


Geo Trax. This is, by far, the best toy we have ever bought. He loves trains of all kinds and always wants a "huge track". It is so cute to listen to him play with the guys that come with it and the conversations they have back and forth.


His siblings. Any time he can get Jackson to go out to the tramp to play swords, it's a happy day. Pretty much, he copies them totally and whatever they laugh at, he will too.


Hot dogs. I'm not kidding about this. One time he ate 5 hot dogs in one sitting!


The color green. I don't know how kids decide what their favorite color is, but Tommy has sure staked his claim on anything green.


I love Tommy to death and can't wait to see what the next year will bring. He is sure turning into a sweetheart and a very cute talker. Isn't raising kids the funnest!







Grant loved the dinosaur Tommy got

This was another great toy. Thanks Grandma!A birthday is never complete without a few more Geo Trax, right?Tommy had been talking about a frog cake for weeks. I know I'm no ace of cakes, but I thought it turned out kindof cute? It doesn't matter, because Tommy loved it.

3rd photo tag

This is the 3rd photo in my 3rd folder. For you Utahns out there, it is Jackson and his cousin, Doug, at Lagoon (the local theme park). This was the trip when my kids took their first airplane ride. Also, I corralled 3 kids through the airports alone. I could go on and on with memories from this trip.

We miss Grandma and Grandpa!!

It is always so great when G-ma and G-pa come to visit. We have so much fun, every time. We got to go to the zoo, and we also celebrated Tommy's 4th birthday. They even got to be here for Halloween night! What could be better than that!!
Here are the kids in their costumes. Jackson, Molly, and Tommy's are homemade. Grant's is the same one all the baby boys have ever worn. Jackson is a black widow spider. Molly is a fairy. Tommy is a frog. Grant is superman.
