Four!!

Caden turned 4 this week!

We celebrated over the weekend so his day wouldn't be overshadowed by school starting.  It was a good decision and he had a great day.

Happy Birthday Caden!!

We sure love this 4-year old!

He wanted to get right to the gift opening first thing in the morning.

So he did.

One of his gifts was a baseball toy where the balls pop up automatically from the base.

The boys had a blast with it.

We can't find any tee-ball teams (or even baseball for young children here), so this is a great way for them to practice.  And have fun.

David had to get in a few hits too.

He played baseball in high school and college, so this toy is right up his alley.

It can also be used as a tee.

Since all these boys have their birthdays within about 3 weeks of each other, David's parents purchased a joint gift this year.

Sand and Water Tables for the back yard!!

I don't let them play in the flower beds anymore, so they have been very "dirt" deprived.

This sandbox is filling that need.

 They have already spent hours out here playing in the sand and water.

 Blowing out the "4" candle.

 Getting ready to dig in.
