Caden's Birthday!!!

Here is a backwards version from Caden's birthday but it's all that we did yesterday to celebrate!

At four, Caden is:
-talking our ears off!
-learning to make wise choices and choose good behavior over bad behavior!
-inquizitive and curious about everything he sees! We love to watch his little mind work!
-so kind hearted and always putting others before himself...we pray this never changes!
-LOVES Jesus...talks about God all the time and says the sweetest prayers
-is social but introverted...and loves to be around friends in smaller settings
-is all about anything Daddy! He wants to be just like Cass!
-loves his mommy and brother!
-thinks he is Calder's Daddy! :)
-a HUGE blessing to our family! We look forward to every day with him and love to watch him grow, mature and develop into a little boy!

Key Lime Pie was his request for his birthday cake (we're having his party Friday night and we'll have real birthday cake there!). He LOVES key lime and lemon pie!
Blowing out his candles!
Caden and his pie!
He wanted to go to Outback for dinner so that's where we went! He wanted grilled cheese (which he never eats), a sweet potato, a salad and they brought him this YUMMY dessert when he was finished!!!

Calder enjoyed Caden's birthday dinner!
Salad is his FAVORITE thing to eat! He ate the whole thing!
Coloring while we waited on the food! He loves to color!
He is taking swim lessong this week and doing GREAT with it! He's made great improvement--especially considering he wouldn't put his head under or jump in before Monday! It's in Samantha, AL about 30 minutes north of our house but only 45 dollars for a week and worth the drive!!!
Swimming with Coach Anne and Coach Vivian!

We had a birthday coupon for a slice of cookie cake from Great American Cookie Company! They decorated it for him right there and he was SO proud to get it! He hasn't eaten any yet but that may be his snack today after swim lessons!
Getting his cake from the lady!
Watching her decorate and box up his cake slice!
Caden's lunch request was Rama Jama's...a greasy hamburger place! He LOVED his lunch and so did Calder!
Double dipping his french fries (a treat)
Birthday boy at Rama Jama's (or as Caden calls it Rammie Jammies!)
I had bible study yesterday morning so we took cookies to childcare (and I cheated and bought some at Winn-Dixie). They loved them!


Playing with his gifts after breakfast! He wanted me to make waffles so that's what we had!
Mimi and Poppy gave him Jessie for his gift yesterday (he'll get the rest at his party)! He's been wanting Jessie for a while! He loves playing with her...in fact, she went to Outback with us and sat with us while we ate :)



Card from Mimi and Poppy!
Puzzle from Calder!

Cootie game!
Calder opening his un-birthday gift from Mommy and Daddy! He got a little firetruck!


We decorated the kitchen table in Buzz Lightyear for his actual birthday to make it a little more festive! He loved it! We enjoyed a fun and special day with Caden (and Daddy took a 1/2 day off so he could hang out with us, too!)
