Toys!

Daniel had his fourth and final birthday party of the year yesterday, Saturday the 9th. This one was for all of his friends. There were 16 of his friends from school and around the neighborhood that joined us at "Pump it Up", which is a big place full of GIANT bounce houses. After an hour of running around in the bounce house arena, we all headed to the party room for pizza and cupcakes. After that's done, Daniel got to sit in the giant throne while everyone watched him open his presents.

Trying to get a bunch of 4 year old's all together and sitting
still for a picture was not all that easy to do

After all the birthday party fun was done, Nate had an appointment to go pick up his new toy... (well, ok, it's the family toy)

It was a bit of a squeeze, but she fit..

Later that evening, Andrea grabbed a Cabela's catalog, walked outside, sat down, and started flipping through it. She spent quite a bit of time doing research on trolling motors... I suppose she wanted to make sure I put the right on on the boat.. This picture was NOT staged, in fact she didn't even know I was behind her taking the picture.

Daniel is 4

Daniel had his 4th birthday on April 1st. What a year it's been. The "three's" were manageable, but they definitely had their moments. Daniel had four birthday parties in total this year, (if you count the party at school), and we have a house full of new toys to play with.

He got a whole bunch of new twins gear, and T-ball equipment. Here he
is showing off his new Twins hat and jersey, and his new T-ball bat

And the full outfit.. The pants are really for T-ball
but he REALLY wanted to wear them. He love them so much,
he wore this whole outfit down to Grammy Q's the next day.

Of course with all the new baseball gear, he needed to go try it out,
so out we went.
