Will is 4!!!

Well, our little boy turned 4!!! It seems like most moms say this, but I can't believe how fast it has gone. I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. After labor, I looked over at the nurse and saw him, my firstborn, for the first time and I knew my life was never going to be the same. Being a mother has been the most rewarding thing I have ever done.

To start off the celebration, we went to Chuck E Cheese with some good friends. Will was a little hesitant when Chuckie came out to meet the kids, but he loved the games. Here he is on Clifford the Big Red Dog.



Saturday morning, we presented Will with his gift. A fishing pole! He and Clark went out to Huck Finn Pond and Clark taught him how to cast and reel. When they arrived home, Will had a huge smile on his face. He said, "Mom, I caught 4 fish all by myself!" He was thrilled he caught 4 on his 4th birthday.

Since he has enjoyed riding his bike so much, I wasn't surprised when he told me he wanted a bike cake for his birthday. Three hours and six cups of frosting later, it was finished! (Note to self: Next time you make a cake, make sure you have the right bags for the frosting and make sure you have more than two decorating tips).

Blowing out his candles. He got them all in one shot! We sure love you Will.

I have seen this video on two of my friends blogs and it was so touching to me, I had to share it.
