Happy 4th Birthday, Braden!

Happy Birthday to you! My dear sweet Braden turned 4 on the 17th! Wow, I have a 4-year-old! I will have to scan a baby picture of him and post it later. Back in the "olden days" when he was born, we didn't have a digital camera. My how times have changed in just 4 short years!
Braden loves learning new things, making silly faces, showing his muscles, and teaching his brother. Like most boys, he loves cars and likes to run around. He's very intellectual and analytical. Sometimes I think he's got the world figured out more than I do. Braden likes to figure out how things work and wants to know what he's getting into before he tries something new. I like to call him my creative-genius. He has a heart of gold and is very tender. I hope these traits stick with him forever! He is so wonderful and I'm so proud to be called his mommy! Braden, I love you. These past four years have been filled with wonderful memories that I'll never forget!
His birthday bash started off with a birthday breakfast at The Egg and I. They even sang to him and gave him a blueberry muffin with a candle! He was stunned when a bunch of strangers came up and started singing to him. After he caught on, he smiled really big and was somewhat embarrassed. We enjoyed some time at the splash park and tried our best to stay cool in our 111 degree weather on his birthday!



Here's the birthday boy playing with a race track he got from Gramps
Papa T, Grammy Juju, Auntie Aubri and Nana along with the boys just chillin' (or at least trying to!) Our AC froze over and stopped working when we went out to see the movie UP. We left a nice cool apartment and came back to one that was 82 degrees and rising! It was fixed... for a few hours and now its broken again! They promise to fix it in the morning... We'll see about that.
How old are you, Braden? 4?! Wow! Here's his Batman birthday cake which he has requested since my birthday back in April! He is such a huge fan of Cars I was sure he wanted a Cars cake but I was dead wrong! Batman all the way! 
This was taken only half way through! His hands and chin were covered in blue icing by the time he was through!
Happy Birthday buddy!!!
