Broden is 4!

 Dinosaur cake and cupcakes with "rocks"(candy rocks) and "dinosaur eggs" Malted milk balls. They were actually scared to eat the "rocks".

Broden wanted a dinosaur birthday party this year and he wanted it to be all boys! This would be our first friend only birthday party. We have always just had family parties. So we invited some boys from church and a boy whose dad Blake works with. Broden informed me that I could come because I had a baby boy in my tummy:)

First they each got to color and put dinosaur stickers on their treat bag. Then they each had a dinosaur at their place at the table and they had to go find the matching one in the living room. Then we played pin the horn on the dinosaur. I used window markers to draw a dinosaur on our window and they tried to tape the horn in the right spot while blindfolded. It was so funny. They had absolutely no idea which way to go after we spun them around. It was so funny to watch. Then they opened presents and had cake and ice cream. It was a crazy hour and a half with 8 boys, but Broden loved it!

Broden is still our sweet, laid back little boy. As long as you don't make him mad. He is very easygoing and loves to spend time with his family. His latest favorite thing to say to me is you're the best mom ever. Or to Blake, you're the best dad ever. It is so cute. He still has a hard time saying some words. Usually it is if the word has 2 consonants at the beginning. Like truck, tree, drink, train, trip, brush, words like that. He was so excited to have a baby brother and to share a room with him. When we came home from the hospital he wanted to show him their room and wondered why he didn't get to sleep in there with him. So when Blake's mom left I did start putting Parker in there, more for Broden's sake and it has worked out fine. Actually I like it better because I can't hear Parker's every move and I sleep so much better. Broden is such a good big brother to both Parker and Alissa and him and Remi continue to be best buds here at home.
