Happy 4th Birthday, my baby boy (yes, I'll be saying that forever...he'll always be my baby boy)!

Pics from Linc's birthday celebration...

Toy Story cake. To Infinity and Beyond.

This year, Linc got off of his chair and walked around to the side of the table to get a better angle on the candles. Nice work, buddy.

One of his gifts was a weed whip. When he was done opening gifts, this is the one he wanted to play with right away. The rest of the kids went back to playing baseball in the yard while Linc proceeded to weed whip the entire backyard just like his daddy does. Too, when he first started using it I went over to see how he liked it and he said, "Mom, it's not cutting the grass." I had to explain to him that it was a pretend toy and that a real weed whip is too dangerous. I think he was slightly disappointed but continued on with his yard work anyway. Cute, cute, cute.

Here he is with his new Lightning McQueen bike. He picked it out at Toys R Us. It was the first bike he saw and the only one he even wanted to entertain buying even though there was a Spiderman bike and a yellow bike (one of his favorite colors). It was this one all the way. He was so excited that he rode it all the way through the checkout.

Here are Linc and some of his birthday party gang. I'm not exactly sure where Linc got his bada-- pose. (!)

Here he is the next day (on his actual birthday) eating some leftover cake and showing us just how old he is.

ahh...the outdoors.

We love spending time outside and are so thankful that we've had some lovely spring weather. Actually for a while there it felt completely summer like. We enjoyed every moment we could.

Here is Linc on his swing set. Our goal this summer is to get him to pump his legs on the swings so we don't have to push him all the time. He's working on it.


Here, little sister is pushing big brother in the Cozy Coupe. They seriously had a ball with this for the longest time. It's so nice when they enjoy each other's company.

While Linc enjoys playing in the sprinkler (and stopping for a quick drink)...

...Cassie enjoys making mud pies and then chasing after the camera lady.
