4 WHOLE YEARS!

 I can not believe that this kid is a whole four years old. his birthday is today, October 2nd, however we celebrated yesterday due to having a busy weekend with Conference and all.

 Kael was a very lucky boy and got to open presents from all of his family. I was so impressed with Cullan. Usually in the past we have done their birthday parties together because we lived  near family. this year we decided to do it separately because it was just going to be us. Cullan handled the fact that he had to wait so well. He even said he would be in charge of handing Kael his presents.

 Kael also got a computer and a Zhu Zhu pet from Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Pat. Ok on a side note. I had no real idea what Zhu Zhu pets were, only that the kids thought they were cool. They are! They hope around and make noises. I was pretty impressed. I thought it would just sit on the floor and squeak or something. But they are much cuter than that.

 sorry our table was a mess...like i said, crazy weekend coming up, we spent the rest of Saturday cleaning. that is also why kael got a pre-made cake from the store as opposed to one that I would make. I think he was ok with it though because he got to pick it out and it even came with that Thomas! Always a hit!!

 i just thought i would add this picture because it made me laugh. do you see how she is so cute but can be so naughty. she had already had one cupcake. then garran got my attention and i looked over at the table. her is briea helping herself to another cupcake all by herself. if this picture had sound, you would hear her grunting to reach it. she finally did and was very proud of herself. she is such a stinker!

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET KAEL!

we are so grateful that you were born four years ago and have loved having you as part of our family. you are such a sweet and funny boy. we are grateful for all the joy and laughter you bring to our lives.
